I'm new with Flutter and provider.
I'm trying to make a form with provider in order to separate my logic in my code but I'm struggling ...
My form in the screen :
class CalculatorScreen extends StatefulWidget{
CalculatorScreen({Key key}) : super(key: key);
#override
_CalculatorScreenState createState() => _CalculatorScreenState();
}
class _CalculatorScreenState extends State<CalculatorScreen> {
final TextEditingController _controllerDistance = TextEditingController();
#override
void dispose(){
_controllerDistance.dispose();
super.dispose();
}
#override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
return GestureDetector(
onTap: (() => FocusScope.of(context).requestFocus(FocusNode())),
child: Scaffold(
body : _buildBody(context)
),
);
}
Widget _buildBody(BuildContext context)
{
var _formCalculatorProvider = Provider.of<FormCalculatorNotifier>(context);
return SingleChildScrollView(
child: Column(
children: [
ContainerComponent(
background: AppColors.colorBgLight,
children: [
Form(
key : _formCalculatorProvider.globalFormKey,
autovalidate: _formCalculatorProvider.autovalidate,
child: Column(
crossAxisAlignment: CrossAxisAlignment.start,
children: [
TextFormField(
decoration: InputDecoration(
labelText: "Distance",
),
controller: _controllerDistance,
keyboardType : TextInputType.number,
validator: (String value){
return FormValidatorService.isDistanceValid(value);
},
onSaved: (var value) {
_formCalculatorProvider.saveDistance(value);
}
),
],
),
),
ButtonComponent.primary(
context: context,
text: "Send",
onPressed: _formCalculatorProvider.submit,
),
],
)
],
),
);
}
}
And my notifier :
enum FormCalculatorState{
READY,
SUCCESS,
ERROR
}
class FormCalculatorNotifier with ChangeNotifier {
final GlobalKey<FormState> globalFormKey = GlobalKey<FormState>();
FormCalculatorState formState = FormCalculatorState.READY;
bool autovalidate = false;
FormCalculatorModel formData = FormCalculatorModel();
void saveDistance(String value){
print("save");
formData.distance = num.tryParse(value).round();
notifyListeners();
}
void submit(){
if (!globalFormKey.currentState.validate()) {
print("submit");
print(formData);
autovalidate = true;
formState = FormCalculatorState.ERROR;
return;
}
else{
globalFormKey.currentState.save();
}
notifyListeners();
}
Future showErrorNotification(){
// Here I need to know the context
return InfoBarComponent.error(title: AppTextInfobar.ERROR_TITLE, description: AppTextInfobar.ERROR_DESCRIPTION, context: context);
}
How to use my showErrorNotification because I need the context to show my notificationBar ? When I try to add context in the scrren on the submit function I have an error.
Is this the right method?
Did not go through your entire code. But I immediately noticed that notifyListeners is missing in FormCalculatorNotifier class.

I new to Flutter and i was trying to find a solution for the below issue for several hours. I have searched and every solution provided does not work form me.
I have page where one of the widgets is the autocomplete text input. I have created this autocomplete widget on different class. I have added this widget as StatefulBuilder within my main widget. it is working fine however, i am not able to access its value so I can store it with other fields.
My code look like
class ItemDetails extends StatefulWidget {
const ItemDetails({Key? key}) : super(key: key);
static const routeName = '/item_details';
#override
State<ItemDetails> createState() => _ItemDetails();
}
class _ItemDetails extends State<ItemDetails> {
late TextEditingController labelController;
late TextEditingController valueController;
late TextEditingController notesController;
bool _submitted = false;
late var args;
String _itemLabel2 = "";
// var labelAutoComp = LabelSugg();
#override
void initState() {
super.initState();
labelController = TextEditingController();
valueController = TextEditingController();
notesController = TextEditingController();
}
#override
void dispose() {
labelController.dispose();
valueController.dispose();
notesController.dispose();
// Hive.close();
super.dispose();
}
String? _labelErrorText(context) {
final text = labelController.value.text;
if (text.isEmpty) {
// return 'Can\'t be empty';
return AppLocalizations.of(context)!.noEmpty;
}
}
String? _valueErrorText(context) {
final text = valueController.value.text;

// return 'Can\'t be empty';
return AppLocalizations.of(context)!.noEmpty;
}
}

my labelAutoComp widget code look like

];
return Autocomplete<LabelsAc>(
optionsBuilder: (TextEditingValue textEditingValue) {
return labelOptions
.where((LabelsAc _label) => _label.label
.toLowerCase()
.startsWith(textEditingValue.text.toLowerCase()))
.toList();
},
displayStringForOption: (LabelsAc option) => option.label,
fieldViewBuilder: (BuildContext context,
TextEditingController fieldTextEditingController,
// fieldTextEditingController,
FocusNode fieldFocusNode,
VoidCallback onFieldSubmitted) {
return TextField(
controller: fieldTextEditingController,
focusNode: fieldFocusNode,
style: const TextStyle(fontWeight: FontWeight.bold),
// onChanged: getLabel(),
onChanged: (String val) {
fieldTextEditingController2 = fieldTextEditingController;
getLabel();
});
},
onSelected: (LabelsAc selection) {
fieldTextEditingController2 =
TextEditingController(text: selection.label);
getLabel();
},
optionsViewBuilder: (BuildContext context,
AutocompleteOnSelected<LabelsAc> onSelected,
Iterable<LabelsAc> options) {
return Align(
alignment: Alignment.topLeft,
child: Material(
child: Container(
// width: 350,
// color: Colors.cyan,
child: ListView.builder(
padding: const EdgeInsets.all(10.0),
itemCount: options.length,
itemBuilder: (BuildContext context, int index) {
final LabelsAc option = options.elementAt(index);
return GestureDetector(
onTap: () {
onSelected(option);
},
child: ListTile(
title: Text(option.label,

}
class LabelsAc {
LabelsAc({required this.label});
String label;
}
first is redundant when you wrap your class that extend StatefullWidget with StatefullBuilder. LabelSugg is a component Widget. you can use it like other widget.
benefit to separate widget with StatefullWidget class is, we can update the value inside the class without re-build the current page. which is good for performance. that's why developer recomend to separete with class insted compared to make local method.
as you see, when you create LabelSugg extend StatefullWidget class , we will have _LabelSugg . underscore means that: all variable only accessible on current file.
thats why we can't call getLabel() or other variable from different file.
its used for handle the State in 'LabelSugg` widget.
now how to pass the value from LabelSugg is by created variable outside the state. here you are:
class LabelSugg extends StatefulWidget {
// use this to pass any changes when we use LabelSugg
final ValueChanged<String> getLabelText;
const LabelSugg({Key? key, required this.getLabelText}) : super(key: key);
#override
State<LabelSugg> createState() => _LabelSugg();
}
then we can call the onChaged inside _LabelSugg state. because its Statefull widget, we can acces by : widget.getLabelText()
class _LabelSugg extends State<LabelSugg> {
late TextEditingController fieldTextEditingController;
.....
getLabel() {
return widget.getLabelText(fieldTextEditingController.text);
}
then in other class we call LabelSugg like common widget
import 'package:../labelsug.dart';
class ItemDetails extends StatefulWidget {
.....
return Scaffold(
appBar: AppBar(
title: Text(args['title']),
),
body: Container(
padding: const EdgeInsets.all(20),
child: Column(
children: <Widget>[
// now use it like a widget
LabelSug(
getLabelText: (String val){
print(val);
}

I am trying to do website form validation and focus on the first error field for users automatically. I found a helpful solution to get to the first error field from [here][1].
However, the focus manager solution does not work properly as I expected when there are dynamic fields or conditional fields wrapped with if...[]. When the form validates, the focus goes to the last field and skipped both dynamic and conditional fields.
I solve the conditional field problem by declaring each field in sequence before the return statement, but the dynamic fields still encounter the same problem on validation. Can anyone tell me what is happening within Widget build and is there any possible solutions to this problem? The following is the code I tested.
final Color darkBlue = Color.fromARGB(255, 18, 32, 47);

validator: _formValidationManager.wrapValidator('field1', (value) {
if (value!.isEmpty) {
return 'Please enter a value';
}
return null;
}))
],
);
Widget widget2 = Column(
children: [
Text('field 2'),
TextFormField(
focusNode: _formValidationManager.getFocusNodeForField('field2'),

I want to disable a button until the text form field is valid. And then once the data is valid the button should be enabled. I have received help on SO previously with a similar question but can't seem to apply what I learned to this problem. The data is valid when the user adds more than 3 characters and fewer than 20. I created a bool (_isValidated) and added it to the validateUserName method calling setState once the user has entered valid data but this is definitely wrong and generates an error message. The error message is:
setState() or markNeedsBuild() called during build.
I can't figure out what I am doing wrong. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.
class CreateUserNamePage extends StatefulWidget {
const CreateUserNamePage({
Key? key,
}) : super(key: key);
#override
_CreateUserNamePageState createState() => _CreateUserNamePageState();
}
class _CreateUserNamePageState extends State<CreateUserNamePage> {
final _formKey = GlobalKey<FormState>();
bool _isValidated = false;
late String userName;
final TextEditingController _userNameController = TextEditingController();
#override
void initState() {
super.initState();
_userNameController.addListener(() {
setState(() {});
});
}
void _clearUserNameTextField() {
setState(() {
_userNameController.clear();
});
}
String? _validateUserName(value) {
if (value!.isEmpty) {
return ValidatorString.userNameRequired;
} else if (value.trim().length < 3) {
return ValidatorString.userNameTooShort;
} else if (value.trim().length > 20) {
return ValidatorString.userNameTooLong;
} else {
setState(() {
_isValidated = true;
});
return null;
}
}
void _createNewUserName() {
final form = _formKey.currentState;
if (form!.validate()) {
form.save();
}

Simply use form validation, inside TextFormField edit validator function , add onChange function and call setState to get inputtedValue that can also keep disable button unless the form is validated.
Key points to note:
Use final _formKey = GlobalKey<FormState>();
The String? inputtedValue; and !userInteracts() are the tricks, you can refer to the code;
When ElevatedButton onPressed method is null, the button will be disabled. Just pass the condition !userInteracts() || _formKey.currentState == null || !_formKey.currentState!.validate()
Code here:
import 'package:flutter/material.dart';
void main() => runApp(const MyApp());
class MyApp extends StatelessWidget {
const MyApp({Key? key}) : super(key: key);
static const String _title = 'Flutter Code Sample';
#override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
return const MaterialApp(
title: _title,
home: MyCustomForm(),
);
}
}
class MyCustomForm extends StatefulWidget {
const MyCustomForm({Key? key}) : super(key: key);
#override
MyCustomFormState createState() {
return MyCustomFormState();
}
}
// Create a corresponding State class.
// This class holds data related to the form.
class MyCustomFormState extends State<MyCustomForm> {
// Create a global key that uniquely identifies the Form widget
// and allows validation of the form.
//
// Note: This is a GlobalKey<FormState>,
// not a GlobalKey<MyCustomFormState>.
final _formKey = GlobalKey<FormState>();
// recording fieldInput
String? inputtedValue;
// you can add more fields if needed
bool userInteracts() => inputtedValue != null;
#override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
// Build a Form widget using the _formKey created above.
return Scaffold(
appBar: AppBar(
title: const Text('Form Disable Button Demo'),
),
body: Form(
key: _formKey,
child: Column(
crossAxisAlignment: CrossAxisAlignment.start,
children: [
TextFormField(
// The validator receives the text that the user has entered.
validator: (value) {
if (inputtedValue != null && (value == null || value.isEmpty)) {
return 'Please enter some text';
}
return null;
},
onChanged: (value) => setState(() => inputtedValue = value),
),
Padding(
padding: const EdgeInsets.symmetric(vertical: 16.0),
child: ElevatedButton(
// return null will disable the button
// Validate returns true if the form is valid, or false otherwise.
onPressed: !userInteracts() || _formKey.currentState == null || !_formKey.currentState!.validate() ? null :() {
// If the form is valid, display a snackbar. In the real world,
// you'd often call a server or save the information in a database.
ScaffoldMessenger.of(context).showSnackBar(
SnackBar(content: Text('Processing Data: ' + inputtedValue!)),
);
},
child: const Text('Submit'),
),
),
],
),
),
);
}
}
I think the better way is to assign a null value to the onPressed parameter of the button. Please check the below link.
https://www.flutterbeads.com/disable-button-in-flutter/
You have custom widgets, so I don't know how does your widgets works bu here you can use AbsorbPointer to disable a button and check your textformfield text in onChange parameter like here;
bool isDisabled = true;
String _validateUserName(value) {
if (value!.isEmpty) {
return ValidatorString.userNameRequired;
} else if (value.trim().length < 3) {
return ValidatorString.userNameTooShort;
} else if (value.trim().length > 20) {
return ValidatorString.userNameTooLong;
} else {
setState(() {
isDisabled = false;
});
return null;
}
}
#override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
final ButtonStyle style =
ElevatedButton.styleFrom(textStyle: const TextStyle(fontSize: 20));
return Center(
child: Column(
mainAxisSize: MainAxisSize.min,
children: <Widget>[
ElevatedButton(
style: style,
onPressed: null,
child: const Text('Disabled'),
),
const SizedBox(height: 30),
TextFormField(
decoration: const InputDecoration(
labelText: 'Label',
),
onChanged: (String value) {
_validateUserName(value);
},
),
AbsorbPointer(
absorbing: isDisabled, // by default is true
child: TextButton(
onPressed: () {},
child: Text("Button Click!!!"),
),
),
],
),
);
}
I'm new with Flutter and I want to upgrade my code. I have a form that uses multiple textformfields and I want to convert this code using provider and riverpod to improve readability but I'm not sure how to do it.
For the example I simplified my code to only one distance field but there are many others.
This is my CalculatorScreen :

This is my formModel (This model contains all the fields that I can fill in my form and allows me to store the values of the form once validated to then make calculations with these values
):
class FormCalculatorModel{
int distance;
FormCalculatorModel({
this.distance,
});
#override
String toString() {
return '{ '
'${this.distance}, '
'}';
}
}
And my FormValidatorService :
class FormValidatorService{
static String isDistanceValid(String value)
{
num _distance = num.tryParse(value);
if (_distance == null) {
return "is required";
}
if (_distance < 200) {
return "Min distance is 200";
}
if (_distance > 1000) {
return "Max dist is 1000";
}
return null;
}
}
Now I want to convert this with riverpod. I'm a little lost, there are few examples on the internet and I don't really see how to manage my form
At first I'm just trying to handle the validation of the form but it doesn't work.
My calculatorScreen :
import 'package:flutter/material.dart';
import 'package:flutter_hooks/flutter_hooks.dart';
import 'package:hooks_riverpod/hooks_riverpod.dart';
class CalculatorScreen extends HookWidget{
final _formKey = GlobalKey<FormState>();
bool _autoValidateForm = false;
FormCalculatorModel _formData = FormCalculatorModel();
final TextEditingController _controllerDistance = TextEditingController();
#override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
return GestureDetector(
onTap: (() => FocusScope.of(context).requestFocus(FocusNode())),
child: Scaffold(
body : _buildBody(context)
),
);
}
Widget _buildBody(BuildContext context){
final _formModel = useProvider(formCalculatorProvider.state);
return SingleChildScrollView(
child: Column(
children: [
TitleComponent(
title: "Calcul",
description: "Parametrer",
),
ContainerComponent(
background: AppColors.colorBgLight,
children: [
Form(
key : _formKey,
autovalidate: _autoValidateForm,
child: Column(
crossAxisAlignment: CrossAxisAlignment.start,
children: [
TextFormField(
decoration: InputDecoration(
labelText: "Distance",
//errorText: _formModel.distance.error,
),
controller: _controllerDistance,
validator: (String value){
return FormValidatorService.isDistanceValid(value);
},
onSaved: (var value) {_formData.distance = num.tryParse(value).round();}
),
],
),
),
ButtonComponent.primary(
text: "Calculer",
context: context,
onPressed : context.read(formCalculatorProvider).submitData(key: _formKey),
),
],
)
],
),
);
}
}
And my FormCalculatorNotifier :
import 'package:flutter/material.dart';
import 'package:hooks_riverpod/hooks_riverpod.dart';
enum FormState
{
EMPTY,
SUCCESS,
ERROR
}
class FormCalculatorModelNew {
const FormCalculatorModelNew({this.formState, this.autoValidate, this.distance});
final FormState formState;
final bool autoValidate;
final String distance;
}
class FormCalculatorNotifier extends StateNotifier<FormCalculatorModelNew>
{
FormCalculatorNotifier() : super(_initial);
static const FormState _initialState = FormState.EMPTY;
static const _initial = FormCalculatorModelNew(
formState : _initialState,
autoValidate: false,
distance: null
);
submitData({key}){
print(key);
if (!key.currentState.validate()) {
state = FormCalculatorModelNew(
autoValidate: true,
);
return;
}
key.currentState.save();
}
}
The provider :
final formCalculatorProvider = StateNotifierProvider((ref) => FormCalculatorNotifier());
It does not really make sense to use Provider in your example code because I don't see anywhere listen to the state of formCalculatorProvider. Also, the form itself should be managed in the form widget itself.
I assume you want to share the distance value with other widgets. Here are what I will do:
_autoValidate: leave it inside the widget and handle it by Hook
add copyWith inside FormCalculatorModelNew (can easily update partial value)
formCalculatorProvider part:
final formCalculatorProvider = StateNotifierProvider((ref) => FormCalculatorNotifier());
enum MyFormState { EMPTY, SUCCESS, ERROR }
class FormCalculatorModelNew {
const FormCalculatorModelNew({this.formState, this.distance});
final MyFormState formState;
final int distance;
FormCalculatorModelNew copyWith({
MyFormState formState,
int distance,
}) {
return FormCalculatorModelNew(
formState: formState ?? this.formState,
distance: distance ?? this.distance,
);
}
}
class FormCalculatorNotifier extends StateNotifier<FormCalculatorModelNew> {
FormCalculatorNotifier() : super(_initial);
static const MyFormState _initialState = MyFormState.EMPTY;
static const _initial =
FormCalculatorModelNew(formState: _initialState, distance: null);
void update(int distance) {
state = state.copyWith(distance: distance, formState: MyFormState.SUCCESS);
}
void error() {
state = state.copyWith(distance: null, formState: MyFormState.ERROR);
}
void clear() {
state = state.copyWith(distance: null, formState: MyFormState.EMPTY);
}
}
CalculatorScreen part: (simplify)
class CalculatorScreen extends HookWidget {
final _formKey = GlobalKey<FormState>();
#override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
final _autoValidate = useState<bool>(false);
final _controller = useTextEditingController();
return Scaffold(
body: Form(
key: _formKey,
autovalidate: _autoValidate.value,
child: Column(
children: [
TextFormField(
controller: _controller,
keyboardType: TextInputType.number,
validator: (value) {
return FormValidatorService.isDistanceValid(value);
},
onSaved: (value) {
context.read(formCalculatorProvider).update(num.tryParse(value).round());
},
),
Row(
children: [
FlatButton(
child: Text('Erase'),
onPressed: () {
_formKey.currentState.reset();
_controller.clear();
_autoValidate.value = false;
context.read(formCalculatorProvider).clear();
},
),
FlatButton(
child: Text('Send'),
onPressed: () {
if(_formKey.currentState.validate()){
_formKey.currentState.save();
}else{
_autoValidate.value = true;
context.read(formCalculatorProvider).error();
}
},
),
],
),
],
),
),
);
}
}
You can use TextEditingController.
Further create a provider like so, and you may now listen to text changes and store them where desired using the same provider
final formControllerProvider =
StateProvider<TextEditingController>((ref) => TextEditingController());
I'm new in flutter and I try to update a variable in my main.dart from a customWidget in another file.
I search on internet but I'm a little lost.
How to update my variable userDistance with the value that the user enter ?
Is my widget structure correct? or does it have to be stateless or stateful?
Main.dart :
class HomeController extends StatefulWidget {
HomeController({Key key, this.title}) : super(key: key);
final String title;
#override
_HomeControllerState createState() => _HomeControllerState();
}
class _HomeControllerState extends State<HomeController> {
// ************************************
// Variable
// ************************************
int userDistance = null;
final _formKey = GlobalKey<FormState>();
// ************************************
// Initialisation
// ************************************
#override
void initState() {
super.initState();
}
#override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
return GestureDetector(
onTap: (() => FocusScope.of(context).requestFocus(FocusNode())),
child: Scaffold(
appBar: AppBar(
title: Text(widget.title),
),
body: FutureBuilder(
future: loadJson(),
builder: (context, snapshot) {
if (!snapshot.hasData) {
return CircularProgressIndicator();
}
return SingleChildScrollView(
padding: EdgeInsets.all(24),
child: Form(
key: _formKey,
child: Column(
mainAxisAlignment: MainAxisAlignment.spaceEvenly,
children: <Widget>[
FormValidatorWidgets.buildDistance(), // => Here I call my external widget
...
And my customWidget :
import 'package:flutter/material.dart';
class FormValidatorWidgets{
static buildDistance() {
return TextFormField(
decoration: InputDecoration(
border: OutlineInputBorder(),
labelText: "Distance",
hintText: "Enter a distance",
),
keyboardType: TextInputType.number,
validator: (String value) {
int distance = int.tryParse(value);
if (distance == null) {
return "Distance is required";
}
if (distance <= 0) {
return "Distance must be greater than zero";
}
},
onSaved: (String value) {
userDistance = int.tryParse(value);
},
);
}
}
How to update my variable userDistance ?
For your FormValidatorWidgets add callback function
class FormValidatorWidgets{
static buildDistance(FormFieldSetter<String> onSaved) { // onSaved is a callback
return TextFormField(
...
onSaved: onSaved,
);
}
}
And then in your form:
Column(mainAxisAlignment: MainAxisAlignment.spaceEvenly, children: <Widget>[
FormValidatorWidgets.buildDistance(
(String value) {
userDistance = int.tryParse(value);
},
),
...
