Basic Selector is a Flutter package that creates a widget to select a value from a wheeled like picker.

Basic selector

With BasicSelector

Basic with numbers	Styling items with numbers	Styling container with numbers

Basic with text	Basic loop with text

With BasicTimeSelector

Basic with time	Basic time selector	Basic time selector on dialog

How to use

The BasicSelector widget has three constructors. The BasicSelector() will use the default style. Also BasicSelector.items() which just uses the items list as formal parameter and BasicSelector.loop() which enables loop by default and just scrolls infinitely through the items provided.

Add this to your package's pubspec.yaml file, use the latest version :

dependencies:
  basic_selector: ^latest_version

import 'package:basic_selector/basic_selector.dart';

// Generate a list of numbers with BuildSelectorHelpers
static final List<int> _numbers = BasicSelectorHelpers.generateNumbers(end: 10);
int _selectedNumber = 0;

// Then build this widget
BasicSelector<int>(
    items: _numbers,
    value: _selectedNumber,
    textFormatter: (item) { // Example of conditional formatting
        if (item == 1) {
          return '1 item';
        } else {
          return '$item items';
        }
    },
    onChanged: (item) {
        setState(() {
          _selectedNumber = item;
        });
    },
),

BasicSelector uses <T> for setting the type for the selected value, list items and onChange function.

Some examples are:

• BasicSelector<int>
• BasicSelector<double>
• BasicSelector<String>
• BasicSelector<DateTime>
• BasicSelector<TimeOfDay>
• And some other Types

Other functionalities

basic_selector also provides another widget built with BasicSelector, one for selecting times (TimeOfDay): BasicTimeSelector.
As well as some static helpers on BasicSelectorHelpers and some extensions on TimeOfDay (See below).

Usage for BasicTimeSelector

See Properties for more details.

import 'package:basic_selector/basic_selector.dart';

// Generate a list of numbers with BuildSelectorHelpers
TimeOfDay _selectedTime = const TimeOfDay(hour: 0, minute: 0);

// Then build this widget
BasicTimeSelector(
    time: _selectedTime,
    currentTime: const TimeOfDay(hour: 13, minute: 30),
    config: const BasicTimeSelectorConfig(showOnlyToCurrentType: true),
    textFormatter: (item) {
        return item.formatted();
    },
    onChanged: (item) {
        setState(() {
            _selectedTime = item;
        });
    },
),

Usage for BasicTimeSelector.showModalDialog()

This method shows a basic dialog for selecting a TimeOfDay

import 'package:basic_selector/basic_selector.dart';

// Generate a list of numbers with BuildSelectorHelpers
TimeOfDay _selectedTime = const TimeOfDay(hour: 0, minute: 0);

// Then build this widget
FilledButton(
    onPressed: () => BasicTimeSelector.showModalDialog(
        context,
        time: _selectedTime,
    ).then((value) {
        if (value != null) {
            setState(() {
                _selectedTime = value;
        });

        ScaffoldMessenger.of(context)
          ..hideCurrentSnackBar()
          ..showSnackBar(SnackBar(
            content: Text(
              'Date selected: ${_selectedTime.formatted()}',
            ),
            behavior: SnackBarBehavior.floating,
          ));
      }
    }),
    child: const Text('Open dialog'),
),

Helper methods (BasicSelectorHelpers)

This package provides some static methods for generating some very basic values.

List<T> generateNumbers<T extends num>()

Generates a list of <T> that extends num, so it must be a number, typically of type int or double.

static final List<int> _numbers = BasicSelectorHelpers.generateNumbers(start: 25, end: 50, step: 5);
// Returns a list of type int
// [25, 30, 35, 40, 45, 50]

Property	Type	Description	Default Value	Required
start	num	The start number of the generated list	null ?? 0
end	num	The end number of the generated list		✅
step	num	The interval of number of the generated list	1

List<String> generateAlphabet()

Generates a list of <String> with the letters of the alphabet.

static final List<String> _alphabet = BasicSelectorHelpers.generateAlphabet();
// Returns a list of type String
// ['A', 'B', 'C', 'D', 'E', 'F', 'G', 'H', 'I', 'J', 'K', 'L', 'M', 'N', 'O', 'P', 'Q', 'R', 'S', 'T', 'U', 'V', 'W', 'X', 'Y', 'Z']

No properties needed for this method

List<TimeOfDay> generateTimes()

Generates a list of <TimeOfDay> with all times from 00:00 to 23:59 if no properties used.

static final List<TimeOfDay> _times = BasicSelectorHelpers.generateTimes(minuteStep: 30);
// Returns a list of type TimeOfDay with a step of 30 mins
// [TimeOfDay(0, 0), TimeOfDay(0, 30), TimeOfDay(1, 0), TimeOfDay(1, 30), ..., TimeOfDay(23, 30)]

Property	Type	Description	Default Value	Required
from	TimeOfDay	From time to generate list	null ?? const TimeOfDay(hour: 00, minute: 00)
to	TimeOfDay	To time to generate list	null ?? const TimeOfDay(hour: 23, minute: 59)
minuteStep	int	The interval of minutes to generate list	1
