I was just trying out a source code that I have seen online, and I wanted to test it, however, it is giving me multiple errors because of the new update on widgets.

The source code that I am trying to run and execute is: https://github.com/themaaz32/phone_verification

The errors being displayed when I run the application are the following:

lib/screens/login_screen.dart:52:12: Error: The method 'showSnackBar' isn't defined for the class 'ScaffoldState'.
 - 'ScaffoldState' is from 'package:flutter/src/material/scaffold.dart' ('/C:/src/flutter/packages/flutter/lib/src/material/scaffold.dart').
Try correcting the name to the name of an existing method, or defining a method named 'showSnackBar'.
          .showSnackBar(SnackBar(content: Text(e.message)));
           ^^^^^^^^^^^^
lib/screens/login_screen.dart:69:9: Error: The method 'FlatButton' isn't defined for the class '_LoginScreenState'.

This is because your version of Flutter is newer than that of the library. The library still uses FlatButton for example which was removed as a breaking change

Replace every FlatButton with TextButton and for showing a SnackBar you can use:
```
ScaffoldMessenger.of(context).showSnackBar(snackBar);
```

I forgot to import material.dart
```
import 'package:flutter/material.dart';
```
