soft_hyphen_text 0.0.2

A Flutter package for wrapping text with soft hyphens.

SoftHyphenText

This widget can be used like the text widget but takes care of soft hyphens inside strings and wraps the text accordingly.

Features

• Handles soft hyphens (U+00AD) in text
• Automatically adds visible hyphens when text wraps at a soft hyphen position
• Preserves original text when no wrapping occurs

Getting started

Add the package to your pubspec.yaml:

dependencies:
  soft_hyphen_text: ^0.0.1

Usage

Simply use the SoftHyphenText widget instead of the standard Text widget:

SoftHyphenText(text: 'Hello­world')

The soft hyphen character (U+00AD) is invisible but indicates potential hyphenation points. When the text wraps at these points, a visible hyphen will be displayed.

Example with different container widths

Column(
  children: [
    Container(
      width: 80,
      child: SoftHyphenText(text: 'TextWithSoftHyphenCharacter'),
    ),
  ],
)

Additional information

• All standard Text widget properties like style, textAlign, etc. are supported.
