Getting Started

To use this package, add it to your project by including it in your pubspec.yaml file:

dependencies:
  smart_text_widget: ^0.0.3

Null Value Handling in Text

The RTText widget can manage null values gracefully. When a null value is passed, you can show a custom error message instead. Here’s how to handle null values effectively:

const RTText(
text: null,
errorTrue: true,
errorValue: "Null Value Encountered!",
truncateEnable: true,
truncateSize: 10,
customEllipsis: "-->",
maxWidth: true,
),

Handling Empty Strings

If the input is an empty string, you can display a placeholder or a custom message to inform users:

const RTText(
text: "",
errorTrue: true,
errorValue: "No content available!",
maxWidth: true,
),

Displaying Numeric Values

You can pass numeric values, including integers and decimals, to the RTText widget. The widget will convert them to strings automatically.

const RTText(
text: 42,
maxWidth: true,
),

Handling Lists

The RTText widget can display lists of strings. Use the scroll parameter to allow scrolling if the list is long.

const RTText(
text: ["Apple", "Banana", "Cherry"],
scroll: true,
listSeparator: " | ",
textAlign: TextAlign.center,
maxWidth: true,
),

Handling Maps

You can also pass a map to display key-value pairs as text. Customize the error message if needed.

const RTText(
text: {"name": "John", "age": 30},
errorTrue: false,
maxWidth: true,
),

Truncating Long Text

If your text exceeds a specific length, you can enable truncation. The widget will display an ellipsis (...) after the specified length.

const RTText(
text: "This is a very long text that needs to be truncated after a certain length.",
truncateEnable: true,
truncateSize: 12,
customEllipsis: "...",
maxWidth: true,
),

Scrollable Long Strings

For long strings that need to be displayed within a specific width, enable scrolling to enhance user experience.

const RTText(
text: "This is a long string that should be scrollable within its container.",
scroll: true,
maxWidth: true,
),
