Room Search

class RoomSearchParams {
  DateTime checkIn, checkOut;
  int guests;
  String? location;

  RoomSearchParams({required this.checkIn, required this.checkOut,
    this.guests = 1, this.location});
}

class SearchBar extends StatefulWidget {
  final void Function(RoomSearchParams) onSearch;
  const SearchBar({super.key, required this.onSearch});
  @override State createState() => _SearchBarState();
}

class _SearchBarState extends State {
  final _checkIn = DateTime.now();
  late DateTime _checkOut;

  @override
  void initState() {
    super.initState();
    _checkOut = _checkIn.add(const Duration(days: 3));
  }

  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return Card(
      margin: const EdgeInsets.all(16),

              onPressed: () => widget.onSearch(RoomSearchParams(
                checkIn: _checkIn, checkOut: _checkOut)),

UI & UX Suggestions

Use a warm gold/amber primary, white cards, blue CTA buttons colour palette to match the app's purpose. Keep the navigation simple — a bottom nav bar or a single-scroll layout works best for this type of app. Make sure every interaction provides haptic or visual feedback so the app feels responsive and polished.
