ScaffoldMessenger class

Manages SnackBars and MaterialBanners for descendant Scaffolds.

This class provides APIs for showing snack bars and material banners at the bottom and top of the screen, respectively.

To display one of these notifications, obtain the ScaffoldMessengerState for the current BuildContext via ScaffoldMessenger.of and use the ScaffoldMessengerState.showSnackBar or the ScaffoldMessengerState.showMaterialBanner functions.

When the ScaffoldMessenger has nested Scaffold descendants, the ScaffoldMessenger will only present the notification to the root Scaffold of the subtree of Scaffolds. In order to show notifications for the inner, nested Scaffolds, set a new scope by instantiating a new ScaffoldMessenger in between the levels of nesting.

Here is an example of showing a SnackBar when the user presses a button.
