String errorTextvalue = '';
TextFormField(
        onChanged: (value) {
              setState(() {
                    if (value.contains(' ')) {
                      errorTextvalue = value;
                    } 
                    else {
                      errorTextvalue = '';
                    }
                  });
                },
                decoration: InputDecoration(
                  errorText:
                      errorTextvalue.isEmpty ? null : 'Don\'t use blank spaces',
                ),
