ArnaTextField class
An Arna-styled text field.
A text field lets the user enter text, either with a hardware keyboard or with an onscreen keyboard.
The text field calls the onChanged callback whenever the user changes the text in the field. If the user indicates that they are done typing in the field (e.g., by pressing a button on the soft keyboard), the text field calls the onSubmitted callback.
To control the text that is displayed in the text field, use the controller. For example, to set the initial value of the text field, use a controller that already contains some text. The controller can also control the selection and composing region (and to observe changes to the text, selection, and composing region).
To integrate the ArnaTextField into a Form with other FormField widgets, consider using ArnaTextFormField.
When the widget has focus, it will prevent itself from disposing via its underlying EditableText's AutomaticKeepAliveClientMixin.wantKeepAlive in order to avoid losing the selection. Removing the focus will allow it to be disposed.
Remember to call TextEditingController.dispose of the TextEditingController when it is no longer needed. This will ensure we discard any resources used by the object.
{@tool snippet} This example shows how to create an ArnaTextField that will obscure input.
const ArnaTextField(
obscureText: true,
)
{@end-tool}
Reading values
A common way to read a value from a TextField is to use the onSubmitted callback. This callback is applied to the text field's current value when the user finishes editing.
For most applications the onSubmitted callback will be sufficient for reacting to user input.
The onEditingComplete callback also runs when the user finishes editing. It's different from onSubmitted because it has a default value which updates the text controller and yields the keyboard focus. Applications that require different behavior can override the default onEditingComplete callback.
Keep in mind you can also always read the current string from a TextField's TextEditingController using TextEditingController.text.
