Special Text

Create Special Text

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

for example, follwing code show how to create @xxxx special 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,
    TextStyle style,
    BoxFit fit: BoxFit.scaleDown,
    ImageLoadingBuilder loadingBuilder,
    ImageFrameBuilder frameBuilder,
    String semanticLabel,
    bool excludeFromSemantics = false,
    Color color,
    BlendMode colorBlendMode,
    AlignmentGeometry imageAlignment = Alignment.center,
    ImageRepeat repeat = ImageRepeat.noRepeat,
    Rect centerSlice,
    bool matchTextDirection = false,
    bool gaplessPlayback = 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));
  }

parameter	description	default

margin	The margin of image	-
actualText	Actual text, take care of it when enable selection,something likes "[love]"	'\uFFFC'
start	Start index of text,take care of it when enable selection.	0

Cache Image

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

import extended_image_library

dependencies:
  extended_image_library: ^0.1.4

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

/// Clear the disk cache directory then return if it succeed.
///  <param name="duration">timespan to compute whether file has expired or not</param>
Future<bool> clearDiskCachedImages({Duration duration}) async

TextSelectionControls

override [ExtendedTextField.extendedContextMenuBuilder] and [TextSelectionControls] to custom your toolbar widget or handle widget

const double _kHandleSize = 22.0;

/// Android Material styled text selection controls.
class MyTextSelectionControls extends TextSelectionControls
    with TextSelectionHandleControls {

      ),
      deleteAll: true,

  }
}

NoSystemKeyboard

support to prevent system keyboard show without any code intrusion for [ExtendedTextField] or [TextField].

TextInputBindingMixin

we prevent system keyboard show by stop Flutter Framework send TextInput.show message to Flutter Engine.

you can use [TextInputBinding] directly.

void main() {
  TextInputBinding();
  runApp(const MyApp());
}

or if you have other binding you can do as following.

 class YourBinding extends WidgetsFlutterBinding with TextInputBindingMixin,YourBindingMixin {
 }

 void main() {
   YourBinding();
   runApp(const MyApp());
 }

or you need to override ignoreTextInputShow, you can do as following.

 class YourBinding extends TextInputBinding {
   @override
   // ignore: unnecessary_overrides
   bool ignoreTextInputShow() {
     // you can override it base on your case
     // if NoKeyboardFocusNode is not enough
     return super.ignoreTextInputShow();
   }
 }

 void main() {
   YourBinding();
   runApp(const MyApp());
 }

TextInputFocusNode

you should pass the [TextInputFocusNode] into [ExtendedTextField] or [TextField].

final TextInputFocusNode _focusNode = TextInputFocusNode();

  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return ExtendedTextField(
      // request keyboard if need
      focusNode: _focusNode..debugLabel = 'ExtendedTextField',
    );
  }

  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return TextField(
      // request keyboard if need
      focusNode: _focusNode..debugLabel = 'CustomTextField',
    );
  }

we prevent system keyboard show base on current focus is [TextInputFocusNode] and ignoreSystemKeyboardShow is true。

  final FocusNode? focus = FocusManager.instance.primaryFocus;
  if (focus != null &&
      focus is TextInputFocusNode &&
      focus.ignoreSystemKeyboardShow) {
    return true;
  }

### CustomKeyboard

show/hide your custom keyboard on [TextInputFocusNode] focus is changed.

if your custom keyboard can be close without unFocus, you need also handle 
show custom keyboard when [ExtendedTextField] or [TextField] `onTap`.

``` dart
  @override
  void initState() {
    super.initState();
    _focusNode.addListener(_handleFocusChanged);
  }

  void _onTextFiledTap() {
    if (_bottomSheetController == null) {
      _handleFocusChanged();
    }
  }

  void _handleFocusChanged() {
    if (_focusNode.hasFocus) {
      // just demo, you can define your custom keyboard as you want
      _bottomSheetController = showBottomSheet<void>(
          context: FocusManager.instance.primaryFocus!.context!,
          // set false, if don't want to drag to close custom keyboard
          enableDrag: true,
          builder: (BuildContext b) {
            // your custom keyboard
            return Container();
          });
      // maybe drag close
      _bottomSheetController?.closed.whenComplete(() {
        _bottomSheetController = null;
      });
    } else {
      _bottomSheetController?.close();
      _bottomSheetController = null;
    }
  }

  @override
  void dispose() {
    _focusNode.removeListener(_handleFocusChanged);
    super.dispose();
  }
