build a form with validation
apps often require users to enter information into a text field.
for example, you might require users to log in with an email address
and password combination.
to make apps secure and easy to use, check whether the
information the user has provided is valid. if the user has correctly filled
out the form, process the information. if the user submits incorrect
information, display a friendly error message letting them know what went
wrong.
in this example, learn how to add validation to a form that has
a single text field using the following steps:

1. create a form with a GlobalKey
create a form.
the form widget acts as a container for grouping and
validating multiple form fields.
when creating the form, provide a GlobalKey.
this assigns a unique identifier to your form.
it also allows you to validate the form later.
create the form as a StatefulWidget.
this allows you to create a unique GlobalKey<FormState>() once.
you can then store it as a variable and access it at different points.
if you made this a StatelessWidget, you’d need to store this key somewhere.
as it is resource expensive, you wouldn’t want to generate a new
GlobalKey each time you run the build method.
