Package that help to manage forms

ReadyForm

widget that wrap flutter form to simplify working with it

Features

[x] Validate children [x] Scroll to first invalid item if validation failed [x] Ability to add reveal effect [x] ProgressButton that work smoothly with it

usage

     return ReadyForm(
      onPostData: () async {
        /// submit your data
       return OnPostDataResult();
      },
      child: ListView(
        children: [
          TextFormField(),
          TextFormField(),
          TextFormField(),
          TextFormField(),
          ProgressButton(child: Text(TR.of(context).login)),
        ],
      ),
    );

• as you can see when you press the progress button the form will be submitted after check validations

so what if you need to submit your form by your self or you don't want to use the ProgressButton

then you have to use ReadyFormKey

final ReadyFormKey formKey=ReadyFormKey();

 Widget build(BuildContext context) {
     return ReadyForm(
      onPostData: () async {
        /// submit your data
         return OnPostDataResult();
      },
      child: ListView(
        children: [
          TextFormField(),
          TextFormField(),
          TextFormField(),
          TextFormField(),
          ElevatedButton(
              onPressed:(){
                  formKey.onSubmit();
              },
              child: Text(TR.of(context).login),
          ),
        ],
      ),
    );
}

you can also use ReadyForm.of(context)

usage

     return ReadyForm(
      onPostData: () async {
        /// submit your data
        return OnPostDataResult();
      },
      child: ListView(
        children: [
          TextFormField(),
          TextFormField(),
          TextFormField(),
          TextFormField(),
          Builder(builder: (context) {
              // the context of the builder can now access the parent form
            return ElevatedButton(
              onPressed: () {
                ReadyForm.of(context)!.onSubmit();
              },
              child: Text(TR.of(context).login),
            );
          }),
        ],
      ),
    );

global configuration

you can also configure all forms in your app using ReadyFormConfig

KeyboardActions

there is a widget called KeyboardActions witch add three buttons on the top of keyboard when it was opened next prev hide keyboard , these icons are useful in ios as the ios keyboard does not contains a button to hide it

• ReadyForm by default use this widget but you can disable it globally or in single form
• You can also use this widget without the form its up to you

• to make sure this widget works perfect you have to pass your preferred FocusTraversalPolicy i suggest OrderedTraversalPolicy

and wrap each field with FocusTraversalOrder

FocusTraversalOrder(
  order: NumericFocusOrder(1),
  child: ...
),

validation mode

every form can has the validation mode instead of flutter [AutoValidateMode] enum you can use [FormAutoValidateMode] which contains onSubmit

• it can be also configured globally

scrolling to invalid field visibility

without any configuration this package scrolls to the first invalid field when [onSubmit]

but some time you want to override this behavior

EnsureContextVisible(
  after:(context) async{
     /// this will be called after the default behaviour
  }
  before:(context) async{
     /// this will be called after the default behaviour
  }
);

EnsureContextVisible.override(
  ensureVisible:(context) async{
     /// this will override the default behaviour
  }
);

• if your wrap a single field

Submit errors

some time you want to show custom errors after calling onPostData

as you ca see onPostData can return OnPostDataResult which may contains error map the errors returned from onPostData not affect the cycle but they ca be shown by user in two ways

• the first one is ReadyFormErrorMessages

this widget can show the submit error messages and you may use the custom builder to make your own ui ,

if you used the builder you also have an access to the invalid fields

    return ReadyForm(
      onPostData: () async {
        /// submit your data
       return OnPostDataResult({
         "email":"The email already exist"
       });
      },
      child: ListView(
        children: [
          ReadyFormErrorMessages(),
          TextFormField(),
          TextFormField(),
          TextFormField(),
          TextFormField(),
          ProgressButton(child: Text(TR.of(context).login)),
        ],
      ),
    );

• the second one is SubmitErrorMessageFor which show an error for specified key

    return ReadyForm(
      onPostData: () async {
        /// submit your data
       return OnPostDataResult({
         "email":"The email already exist"
       });
      },
      child: ListView(
        children: [
          TextFormField(),
          SubmitErrorMessageFor(messageFor:'email')
          TextFormField(),
          TextFormField(),
          TextFormField(),
          ProgressButton(child: Text(TR.of(context).login)),
        ],
      ),
    );

    /// or if you need to show it with other errors of the field

    return ReadyForm(
      onPostData: () async {
       return OnPostDataResult({ "email":"The email already exist" });
      },
      child: ListView(
        children: [
          SubmitErrorMessageFor(
              messageFor: 'email',
              builder: (form, error) {
                return TextFormField(
                  decoration: InputDecoration(
                    errorText: error,
                    hintText: "Email",
                  ),
                );
              },
          ),
          TextFormField(),
          TextFormField(),
          TextFormField(),
          ProgressButton(child: Text(TR.of(context).login)),
        ],
      ),
    );
