Usage

Import it:

import 'package:gradient_text/gradient_text.dart';

Use it:

GradientText("this is my text",
    gradient: LinearGradient(
    colors: [Colors.deepPurple, Colors.deepOrange, Colors.pink]),
    style: TextStyle(fontSize: 42),
    textAlign: TextAlign.center);

Parameters:

data :: (required) :: The String to be used in the Text Widget

gradient :: (required) :: A gradient to be drawn through the text
