rich_text_flutter 1.0.4

A cross-platform Flutter rich text editor with HTML input and output. Supports web, iOS, Android, macOS, and Windows.

rich_text_flutter

A cross-platform Flutter rich text editor with HTML input and HTML output. Same content model as the web: you pass in HTML and get HTML back. Works on Android, iOS, Web, macOS, and Windows (where WebView is supported).

Features

• HTML in, HTML out – Set initial content and read current content as HTML.
• WYSIWYG toolbar – Bold, italic, underline, link, bullet list, numbered list.
• Cross-platform – One API for mobile, desktop, and web.
• No external servers – Editor runs in an embedded WebView with bundled HTML/JS.

Android	✅ (SDK 19+)
iOS	✅ (11.0+)

Installation

Add to your pubspec.yaml:

dependencies:
  rich_text_flutter:

  # or when published:
  # rich_text_flutter: ^1.0.0

Then:

flutter pub get

Usage

Basic

import 'package:rich_text_flutter/rich_text_flutter.dart';

final controller = RichTextEditorController(
  initialHtml: '<p>Hello <b>world</b></p>',
);

// In your build method:
RichTextEditor(
  controller: controller,
  onHtmlChanged: (html) {
    print('Current HTML: $html');
  },
)

Get / set HTML programmatically

// Get current content
final html = await controller.getHtml();

// Set content
await controller.setHtml('<p>New <em>content</em></p>');

// Clear
await controller.clear();

With initial HTML from widget

You can pass initial HTML either via the controller or the widget. If both are set, the widget’s initialHtml wins.

RichTextEditor(
  controller: controller,
  initialHtml: '<p>Start here…</p>',
  onHtmlChanged: (html) => saveToBackend(html),
  minHeight: 200,
  decoration: BoxDecoration(
    border: Border.all(color: Colors.grey),
    borderRadius: BorderRadius.circular(8),
  ),
)
