gulf_currency

A Flutter currency text package for real apps.

It formats int, double, num, and numeric String values as currency widgets, with built-in symbol-font support for:

• AED (UAE Dirham)
• SAR (Saudi Riyal)
• OMR (Omani Rial)
• MVR (Maldivian Rufiyaa)

All other currencies are also supported through locale-driven ISO currency resolution.

Unicode status (important)

• AED symbol: officially accepted for Unicode 18.0, but not reliably available in mainstream device fonts yet.
• OMR symbol: scheduled for Unicode 18.0, but not reliably available in mainstream device fonts yet.
• MVR symbol: scheduled for Unicode 18.0, but not reliably available in mainstream device fonts yet.
• SAR symbol: no permanent Unicode codepoint yet.

Because of this, this package bundles the required fonts so AED, SAR, OMR, and MVR symbols can render correctly in Flutter UI today.

Font files used

This package supports all world currencies through locale-based formatting. The bundled font files below are specifically for official symbol rendering of AED, SAR, OMR, and MVR:

• AED (Dirham): lib/fonts/dirham/dirham.ttf
• SAR (Saudi Riyal): lib/fonts/saudi_riyal/saudi-riyal-symbol.ttf
• OMR (Omani Rial): lib/fonts/omani_rial/omani-rial-symbol.ttf
• MVR (Maldivian Rufiyaa): lib/fonts/mvr_rufiyaa/mvr-rufiyaa-symbol.ttf

CurrencyPicker

A dropdown for picking a currency, showing each option's country flag next to its ISO 4217 code:

CurrencyPicker(
  value: selectedCurrencyCode,
  onChanged: (code) => setState(() => selectedCurrencyCode = code),
);

Customization options:

• options: restrict the list to a subset of CurrencyOptions (defaults to allCurrencyOptions, every currency this package knows about).
• label: the field's label text (defaults to 'Currency').
• decoration: full InputDecoration override for the field's chrome (border, fill, padding); overrides label when set.
• style: TextStyle applied to each option's currency code.
• dropdownColor: background color of the open menu.
• borderRadius: corner radius of the field and open menu (defaults to 12).
• showFlag: set to false to hide the flag and show just the code.
• itemBuilder: Widget Function(BuildContext, CurrencyOption) for full control over each row's contents.

CurrencyPicker(
  value: selectedCurrencyCode,
  onChanged: (code) => setState(() => selectedCurrencyCode = code),
  options: <CurrencyOption>[
    const CurrencyOption(currencyCode: 'AED', countryCode: 'AE'),
    const CurrencyOption(currencyCode: 'USD', countryCode: 'US'),
  ],
  decoration: const InputDecoration(border: InputBorder.none),
  dropdownColor: Colors.white,
  itemBuilder: (context, option) => Row(
    mainAxisSize: MainAxisSize.min,
    children: [
      Text(option.flag),
      const SizedBox(width: 8),
      Text(option.currencyCode, style: const TextStyle(fontWeight: FontWeight.bold)),
    ],
  ),
);
