Extended official text to build special text like inline image or @somebody quickly,it also support custom background,custom over flow and custom selection toolbar and handles.
ExtendedText is a third-party extension library for Flutter's official Text component. The main extended features are as follows:
| Feature | ExtendedText | Text |
|---|---|---|
| Customized text overflow effects | Supported, allows customizing the overflow widget and controlling overflow positions (before, middle, after) | Not supported (26748,45336) |
| Copying the actual value of special text | Supported, enables copying the actual value of the text, not just the placeholder value of WidgetSpan | Can only copy the placeholder value of WidgetSpan (\uFFFC) |
| Quick construction of rich text based on text format | Supported, enables quick construction of rich text based on text format | Not supported |
HarmonyOSis supported. Please use the latest version which containsohostag. You can check it inVersionstab.
dependencies:
extended_text: 10.0.1-ohos // 3.7.12
extended_text: 13.0.2 // 3.22.0
extended text helps to convert your text to speical textSpan quickly.
for example, follwing code show how to create @xxxx speical textSpan.
class AtText extends SpecialText {
AtText(TextStyle textStyle, SpecialTextGestureTapCallback onTap,
{this.showAtBackground = false, this.start})
: super(flag, ' ', textStyle, onTap: onTap);
static const String flag = '@';
final int start;
/// whether show background for @somebody
final bool showAtBackground;
@override
InlineSpan finishText() {
final TextStyle textStyle =
this.textStyle?.copyWith(color: Colors.blue, fontSize: 16.0);
final String atText = toString();
return showAtBackground
? BackgroundTextSpan(
background: Paint()..color = Colors.blue.withOpacity(0.15),
text: atText,
actualText: atText,
start: start,
///caret can move into special text
deleteAll: true,
style: textStyle,
recognizer: (TapGestureRecognizer()
..onTap = () {
if (onTap != null) {
onTap(atText);
}
}))
: SpecialTextSpan(
text: atText,
actualText: atText,
start: start,
style: textStyle,
recognizer: (TapGestureRecognizer()
..onTap = () {
if (onTap != null) {
onTap(atText);
}
}));
}
}create your SpecialTextSpanBuilder
class MySpecialTextSpanBuilder extends SpecialTextSpanBuilder {
MySpecialTextSpanBuilder({this.showAtBackground = false});
/// whether show background for @somebody
final bool showAtBackground;
@override
TextSpan build(String data,
{TextStyle textStyle, SpecialTextGestureTapCallback onTap}) {
if (kIsWeb) {
return TextSpan(text: data, style: textStyle);
}
return super.build(data, textStyle: textStyle, onTap: onTap);
}
@override
SpecialText createSpecialText(String flag,
{TextStyle textStyle, SpecialTextGestureTapCallback onTap, int index}) {
if (flag == null || flag == '') {
return null;
}
///index is end index of start flag, so text start index should be index-(flag.length-1)
if (isStart(flag, AtText.flag)) {
return AtText(
textStyle,
onTap,
start: index - (AtText.flag.length - 1),
showAtBackground: showAtBackground,
);
} else if (isStart(flag, EmojiText.flag)) {
return EmojiText(textStyle, start: index - (EmojiText.flag.length - 1));
} else if (isStart(flag, DollarText.flag)) {
return DollarText(textStyle, onTap,
start: index - (DollarText.flag.length - 1));
}
return null;
}
}
show inline image by using ImageSpan.
class ImageSpan extends ExtendedWidgetSpan {
ImageSpan(
ImageProvider image, {
Key key,
@required double imageWidth,
@required double imageHeight,
EdgeInsets margin,
int start = 0,
ui.PlaceholderAlignment alignment = ui.PlaceholderAlignment.bottom,
String actualText,
TextBaseline baseline,
BoxFit fit= BoxFit.scaleDown,
ImageLoadingBuilder loadingBuilder,
ImageFrameBuilder frameBuilder,
String semanticLabel,
bool excludeFromSemantics = false,
Color color,
BlendMode colorBlendMode,
AlignmentGeometry imageAlignment = Alignment.center,
ImageRepeat repeat = ImageRepeat.noRepeat,
Rect centerSlice,
bool matchTextDirection = false,
bool gaplessPlayback = false,
FilterQuality filterQuality = FilterQuality.low,
GestureTapCallback onTap,
HitTestBehavior behavior = HitTestBehavior.deferToChild,
})| parameter | description | default |
|---|---|---|
| image | The image to display(ImageProvider). | - |
| imageWidth | The width of image(not include margin) | required |
| imageHeight | The height of image(not include margin) | required |
| margin | The margin of image | - |
| actualText | Actual text, take care of it when enable selection,something likes "[love]" | '\uFFFC' |
| start | Start index of text,take care of it when enable selection. | 0 |
It works with SelectionArea now.

if [ExtendedText.joinZeroWidthSpace] is true, it will join '\u{200B}' into text, make line breaking and overflow style better.
ExtendedText(
joinZeroWidthSpace: true,
)or you can convert by following method:
- String
String input='abc'.joinChar();- InlineSpan
InlineSpan innerTextSpan;
innerTextSpan = joinChar(
innerTextSpan,
Accumulator(),
zeroWidthSpace,
);Take care of following things:
-
the word is not a word, it will not working when you want to double tap to select a word.
-
text is changed, you should override TextSelectionControls and remove zeroWidthSpace.
class MyTextSelectionControls extends TextSelectionControls {
@override
void handleCopy(TextSelectionDelegate delegate,
ClipboardStatusNotifier? clipboardStatus) {
final TextEditingValue value = delegate.textEditingValue;
String data = value.selection.textInside(value.text);
// remove zeroWidthSpace
data = data.replaceAll(zeroWidthSpace, '');
Clipboard.setData(ClipboardData(
text: value.selection.textInside(value.text),
));
clipboardStatus?.update();
delegate.textEditingValue = TextEditingValue(
text: value.text,
selection: TextSelection.collapsed(offset: value.selection.end),
);
delegate.bringIntoView(delegate.textEditingValue.selection.extent);
delegate.hideToolbar();
}
}
Configuration for applying gradients to text.
-
[gradient] is the gradient that will be applied to the text.
-
[ignoreWidgetSpan] determines whether
WidgetSpanelements should be included in the gradient application. By default, widget spans are ignored. -
[renderMode] specifies how the gradient should be applied to the text. The default is [GradientRenderMode.fullText], meaning the gradient will apply to the entire text.
-
[ignoreRegex] is a regular expression used to exclude certain parts of the text from the gradient effect. For example, it can be used to exclude specific characters or words (like emojis or special symbols) from the gradient application.
-
[beforeDrawGradient] A callback function that is called before the gradient is drawn on the text.
-
[blendMode] The blend mode to be used when applying the gradient. default: [BlendMode.srcIn] (i.e., the gradient will be applied to the text). It's better to use [BlendMode.srcIn] or [BlendMode.srcATop].
GradientConfig _config = GradientConfig(
gradient: const LinearGradient(
colors: <Color>[Colors.blue, Colors.red],
),
ignoreRegex: GradientConfig.ignoreEmojiRegex,
ignoreWidgetSpan: true,
renderMode: GradientRenderMode.fullText,
);The InlineSpan will always ignore the gradient.
class IgnoreGradientTextSpan extends TextSpan with IgnoreGradientSpan {
IgnoreGradientTextSpan({String? text, List<InlineSpan>? children})
: super(
text: text,
children: children,
);
