How to Show Snackbar within ScaffoldMessenger as Widget in Flutter?

I have a new use case for Snackbar. I was asked to make a program which reads articles from API and it will show Snackbar when it reaches the end of articles. I meant, all examples of using Snackbar always use a button in order to display it. How can I display Snackbar when I reach the end of articles?

This is my code:

    return ListView.builder(
      itemBuilder: (BuildContext context, int index) {
        if (state.hasReachedMax) {
          return const SnackbarPage(); //<= This one
        } else {
          if (index >= state.posts.length) {
            return const BottomLoader();
          } else {
            return PostListItem(post: state.posts[index]);
          }
        }
      },
      itemCount: state.hasReachedMax ? state.posts.length : state.posts.length + 1,
      controller: _scrollController,
    );
  • snackbar.dart
    import 'package:flutter/material.dart';

    class SnackbarPage extends StatelessWidget {
      const SnackbarPage({super.key});

      @override
      Widget build(BuildContext context) {
        return Scaffold(
          body: ScaffoldMessenger(  //Error here
            child: SnackBar(
              content: const Text('Reach the end of posts'),
              action: SnackBarAction(
                onPressed: () {
                  //if action button is pressed
                },
                label: 'Close',
              ),
            ),
          ),
        );
      }
    }

I got error: Null check operator used on a null value

It seems that ScaffoldMessenger cannot be used as a Widget as return.

    I think you can use the Scaffold.of method to access the Scaffold ancestor of your ListView.builder, and then call the showSnackBar method on the Scaffold to display the Snackbar.

    Would something like this work?

    return ListView.builder(
  itemBuilder: (BuildContext context, int index) {
    if (state.hasReachedMax) {
      Scaffold.of(context).showSnackBar(
        SnackBar(
          content: const Text('Reach the end of posts'),
          action: SnackBarAction(
            onPressed: () {
              //if action button is pressed
            },
            label: 'Close',
          ),
        ),
      );
      return Container();
    } else {
      if (index >= state.posts.length) {
        return const BottomLoader();
      } else {
        return PostListItem(post: state.posts[index]);
      }
    }
  },
  itemCount: state.hasReachedMax ? state.posts.length : state.posts.length + 1,
  controller: _scrollController,
);

    To display a Snackbar when you reach the end of articles, you can use the Scaffold.of(context).showSnackBar() method.

    For Example:

    // Import the Scaffold and SnackBar classes
import 'package: flutter/material.dart';

// ...

// Inside your build method
if (articles.length == 0) {
  // Display the SnackBar when there are no more articles to read
  Scaffold.of(context).showSnackBar(
    SnackBar(
      content: Text('No more articles to read'),
    ),
  );
}

    This will display the Snackbar when the articles list is empty. You can customize the Snackbar by setting its content, duration, and other properties.

    You can use ScaffoldMessanger to show snackbr as below,

    return ListView.builder(
  itemBuilder: (BuildContext context, int index) {
    if (state.hasReachedMax) {
     ScaffoldMessanger.of(context).showSnackBar( <--- here use ScaffoldMessanger instead of Scaffold
     SnackBar(
      content: const Text('Reach the end of posts'),
      action: SnackBarAction(
        onPressed: () {
          //if action button is pressed
        },
        label: 'Close',
      ),
    ),
  );
  return SizedBox();
   } else {
     if (index >= state.posts.length) {
       return const BottomLoader();
   } else {
    return PostListItem(post: state.posts[index]);
   }
 }
},
  itemCount: state.hasReachedMax ? state.posts.length : state.posts.length + 1,
  controller: _scrollController,
);
