Implementation

static List<TextInputFormatter> drivingLicenseFormatter() {
  return [
    TextInputFormatter.withFunction((oldValue, newValue) {
      String newText = newValue.text.replaceAll(RegExp(r'\s+\b|\b\s'), '');
      if (newText.length > 15) {
        newText = newText.substring(0, 15);
      }
      final StringBuffer buffer = StringBuffer();
      for (int i = 0; i < newText.length; i++) {
        buffer.write(newText[i]);
        final int index = i + 1;
        if ((index == 2 || index == 4 || index == 6 || index == 12) &&
            index != newText.length) {
          buffer.write('-'); // Add hyphen at specific positions
        }
      }
      final String formattedText = buffer.toString();
      return TextEditingValue(
        text: formattedText,
        selection: TextSelection.collapsed(offset: formattedText.length),
      );
    }),
  ];
