flutter_native_text_input 0.1.3

Native text input for Flutter. Currently iOS-only with the use of UITextView.

Native Text Input for Flutter

A text input widget built using the native UITextView on iOS (this package only supports iOS for now).

Installation

Follow the instructions from https://pub.dev/packages/flutter_native_text_input/install

Why you should use this

Many iOS users are used to the subtle features provided by the native UITextView throughout iOS. Even though Flutter provides a lot of useful widgets, many Flutter developers will notice that TextField or CupertinoTextField provided by Flutter are not on par with their native counterpart.

The above shows just one of the missing text editing features in Flutter's TextField, when comparing to the native UITextView. Features like these are especially important if you're building an app that involves a lot of text composition (messaging, editing document, and so on).

To address this, this package simply wraps the native UITextView as a Flutter widget.

Hope you find it useful and happy coding! 🎉🎉🎉
