DropdownButtonFormField<T> class

A FormField that contains a DropdownButton.

This is a convenience widget that wraps a DropdownButton widget in a FormField.

A Form ancestor is not required. The Form allows one to save, reset, or validate multiple fields at once. To use without a Form, pass a GlobalKey to the constructor and use GlobalKey.currentState to save or reset the form field.

The value parameter maps to FormField.initialValue.
