flutter_minimal_html_editor 1.0.0

Minimal HTML WYSIWYG editor with only context menu formatting options. Supports flexible height, customizing appearance, and various text callbacks and methods.

General

Minimal HTML WYSIWYG editor with only context menu formatting options (for now).

This is mainly an alternative to other HTML-based WYSIWYG editors that:

• use Summernote under the hood and are very bloated
• do not work well with screen reader
• do not offer fine-grained UI customization
• lack common text field callbacks and methods

Features

Supports fine-grained UI customization:

• fixed height or flexible height
• customized placeholder, intial text
• background color
• padding
• Android hybrid composition
• Webview title (for screen reader)
• auto-adjust scrolling for editor's height change
• text scaling

Common text field callbacks:

• on focus
• on blur
• on change

Controller methods

• set html
• get html
• focus
• unfocus

Lightweight

Only backbone html, css and js underneath - no libary, no jQuery.

Exposed controller

EditorController.webViewController is exposed via HtmlEditor.controller.

How to use

Minimal example

No constructor fields are required, just insert this into your widget tree:

HtmlEditor(),

Simple example

Editor with fixed height, custom placeholder and initial content, gray background and onChange callback to update something:

HtmlEditor(
  backgroundColorCssCode: "gray",
  minHeight: 300,
  initialText: "Some initial text",
  placeholder: "Edit me",
  onChange: (content, height) => update(content),
),

Full feature example

Editor with custom appearance, flexible height, auto scrolling to avoid texts going below keyboard while editing, custom web view title for screen reader and callbacks actions:

ListView(
  controller: scrollController,
  children: [
    ...,
    HtmlEditor(
      backgroundColorCssCode: "#555555",
      minHeight: 300,
      padding: EdgeInsets.zero,
      flexibleHeight: true,
      autoAdjustScroll: true,
      // Alternatively, make a variable for this
      // to gain access to the web controller and
      // the editor methods
      controller: EditorController(
        scrollController: scrollController,
      ),
      initialText: "Some initial text",
      placeholder: "Edit me",
      padding: EdgeInsets.all(10),
      scaleFactor: 1.5,
      showLoadingWheel: true,
      onChange: (content, height) => update(content),
      onFocus: () => doSomething(),
      onBlur: () => doSomeOtherThing(),
      printWebViewLog: true,
      webViewTitle: "Editor",
      useAndroidHybridComposition: true,
    ),
    ...,
  ],
),
