formatEditUpdate method
Called when text is being typed or cut/copy/pasted in the EditableText.
You can override the resulting text based on the previous text value and the incoming new text value.
When formatters are chained, oldValue
reflects the initial value of
TextEditingValue at the beginning of the chain.
Implementation
@override
TextEditingValue formatEditUpdate(
TextEditingValue oldValue,
TextEditingValue newValue,
) {
var text = newValue.text;
// Clean text
text = text.replaceAll(
RegExp(r"[^0-9]"),
'',
);
// Remove initial zero
text = text.replaceFirst(
RegExp(r'0*'),
'',
);
// Add the zeros until you get to the whole part
if (text.length <= mantissaLength)
text = text.padLeft(
mantissaLength + 1,
'0',
);
if (text.length > mantissaLength) {
final separatorOffset = text.length - mantissaLength;
var integerPart = text.substring(
0,
separatorOffset,
);
final decimalPart = text.substring(
separatorOffset,
text.length,
);
if (thousandsSeparator != null) {
integerPart = insertThousandSeparator(
integerPart,
thousandsSeparator!.char,
);
}
text = '$integerPart${decimalSeparator.char}$decimalPart';
return newValue.copyWith(
selection: TextSelection.collapsed(
offset: text.length,
),
text: text,
);
}
return newValue.copyWith(
selection: TextSelection.collapsed(
offset: text.length,
),
text: text,
);
}
