Speical Text

Create Speical Text

extended text helps to convert your text to speical textSpan quickly.

for example, follwing code show how to create @xxxx speical textSpan.

class AtText extends SpecialText {
  static const String flag = "@";
  final int start;

  /// whether show background for @somebody
  final bool showAtBackground;

  AtText(TextStyle textStyle, SpecialTextGestureTapCallback onTap,
      {this.showAtBackground: false, this.start})
      : super(
          flag,
          " ",
          textStyle,
        );

  @override
  InlineSpan finishText() {
    TextStyle textStyle =
        this.textStyle?.copyWith(color: Colors.blue, fontSize: 16.0);

    final String atText = toString();

    return showAtBackground
        ? BackgroundTextSpan(
            background: Paint()..color = Colors.blue.withOpacity(0.15),
            text: atText,
            actualText: atText,
            start: start,

            ///caret can move into special text
            deleteAll: true,
            style: textStyle,
            recognizer: (TapGestureRecognizer()
              ..onTap = () {
                if (onTap != null) onTap(atText);
              }))
        : SpecialTextSpan(
            text: atText,
            actualText: atText,
            start: start,
            style: textStyle,
            recognizer: (TapGestureRecognizer()
              ..onTap = () {
                if (onTap != null) onTap(atText);
              }));
  }
}

SpecialTextSpanBuilder

create your SpecialTextSpanBuilder

class MySpecialTextSpanBuilder extends SpecialTextSpanBuilder {
  /// whether show background for @somebody
  final bool showAtBackground;
  final BuilderType type;
  MySpecialTextSpanBuilder(
      {this.showAtBackground: false, this.type: BuilderType.extendedText});

  @override
  TextSpan build(String data, {TextStyle textStyle, onTap}) {
    var textSpan = super.build(data, textStyle: textStyle, onTap: onTap);
    return textSpan;
  }

  @override
  SpecialText createSpecialText(String flag,
      {TextStyle textStyle, SpecialTextGestureTapCallback onTap, int index}) {
    if (flag == null || flag == "") return null;

    ///index is end index of start flag, so text start index should be index-(flag.length-1)
    if (isStart(flag, AtText.flag)) {
      return AtText(textStyle, onTap,
          start: index - (AtText.flag.length - 1),
          showAtBackground: showAtBackground,
          type: type);
    } else if (isStart(flag, EmojiText.flag)) {
      return EmojiText(textStyle, start: index - (EmojiText.flag.length - 1));
    } else if (isStart(flag, DollarText.flag)) {
      return DollarText(textStyle, onTap,
          start: index - (DollarText.flag.length - 1), type: type);
    }
    return null;
  }
}

Image

ImageSpan

show inline image by using ImageSpan.

ImageSpan(
    ImageProvider image, {
    Key key,
    @required double imageWidth,
    @required double imageHeight,
    EdgeInsets margin,
    int start: 0,
    ui.PlaceholderAlignment alignment = ui.PlaceholderAlignment.bottom,
    String actualText,
    TextBaseline baseline,

    ImageRepeat repeat = ImageRepeat.noRepeat,
    Rect centerSlice,
    bool matchTextDirection = false,

    FilterQuality filterQuality = FilterQuality.low,
  })

ImageSpan(AssetImage("xxx.jpg"),
        imageWidth: size,
        imageHeight: size,
        margin: EdgeInsets.only(left: 2.0, bottom: 0.0, right: 2.0));
  }

Cache Image

if you want cache the network image, you can use ExtendedNetworkImageProvider and clear them with clearDiskCachedImages

import extended_image_library

ExtendedNetworkImageProvider(
  this.url, {
  this.scale = 1.0,
  this.headers,
  this.cache: false,
  this.retries = 3,
  this.timeLimit,
  this.timeRetry = const Duration(milliseconds: 100),
  CancellationToken cancelToken,
})  : assert(url != null),
      assert(scale != null),
      cancelToken = cancelToken ?? CancellationToken();

parameter	description	default
url	The URL from which the image will be fetched.	required
scale	The scale to place in the [ImageInfo] object of the image.	1.0
headers	The HTTP headers that will be used with [HttpClient.get] to fetch image from network.	-
cache	whether cache image to local	false
retries	the time to retry to request	3
timeLimit	time limit to request image	-
timeRetry	the time duration to retry to request	milliseconds: 100
cancelToken	token to cancel network request	CancellationToken()

/// Clear the disk cache directory then return if it succeed.

Future<bool> clearDiskCachedImages({Duration duration}) async

Selection

parameter	description	default
selectionEnabled	Whether enable selection	false

TextSelectionControls

default value of textSelectionControls are MaterialExtendedTextSelectionControls/CupertinoExtendedTextSelectionControls

Control ToolBar Handle

contain your page into ExtendedTextSelectionPointerHandler, so you can control toolbar and handle.

Default Behavior

set your page as child of ExtendedTextSelectionPointerHandler

 return ExtendedTextSelectionPointerHandler(
      //default behavior
       child: result,
    );

• tap region outside of extended text, hide toolbar and handle
• scorll, hide toolbar and handle

Custom Behavior

get selectionStates(ExtendedTextSelectionState) by builder call back, and handle by your self.

 return ExtendedTextSelectionPointerHandler(
      //default behavior
      // child: result,
      //custom your behavior
      builder: (states) {
        return Listener(
          child: result,
          behavior: HitTestBehavior.translucent,
          onPointerDown: (value) {
            for (var state in states) {
              if (!state.containsPosition(value.position)) {
                //clear other selection
                state.clearSelection();
              }
            }
          },
          onPointerMove: (value) {
            //clear other selection
            for (var state in states) {
              state.clearSelection();
            }
          },

      },
