Input widgets

The currently supported fields include:

  • FormBuilderCheckbox - Single Checkbox field
  • FormBuilderCheckboxGroup - List of Checkboxes for multiple selection
  • FormBuilderChoiceChip - Creates a chip that acts like a radio button.
  • FormBuilderDateRangePicker - For selection of a range of dates
  • FormBuilderDateTimePicker - For Date, Time and DateTime input
  • FormBuilderDropdown - Used to select one value from a list as a Dropdown
  • FormBuilderFilterChip - Creates a chip that acts like a checkbox.
  • FormBuilderRadioGroup - Used to select one value from a list of Radio Widgets
  • FormBuilderRangeSlider - Used to select a range from a range of values
  • FormBuilderSegmentedControl - For selection of a value using the CupertinoSegmentedControl widget as an input
  • FormBuilderSlider - For selection of a numerical value on a slider
  • FormBuilderSwitch - On/Off switch field
  • FormBuilderTextField - A Material Design text field input.

In order to create an input field in the form, along with the label, and any applicable validation, there are several attributes that are supported by all types of inputs namely:

Attribute Type Default Required Description
name String Yes This will form the key in the form value Map
initialValue T null No The initial value of the input field
enabled bool true No Determines whether the field widget will accept user input.
decoration InputDecoration InputDecoration() No Defines the border, labels, icons, and styles used to decorate the field.
validator FormFieldValidator<T> null No A FormFieldValidator that will check the validity of value in the FormField
onChanged ValueChanged<T> null No This event function will fire immediately the the field value changes
valueTransformer ValueTransformer<T> null No Function that transforms field value before saving to form value. e.g. transform TextField value for numeric field from String to num
The rest of the attributes will be determined by the type of Widget being used.
