I tried this solution from the other question: How to: add a blank space after every 4 characters when typing in TextFormField
and changed only the 4 to 1. But this solution has some issues like here mention: How to: add a blank space after every 4 characters when typing in TextFormField
class CustomInputFormatter extends TextInputFormatter {
#override
TextEditingValue formatEditUpdate(
TextEditingValue oldValue, TextEditingValue newValue) {
var text = newValue.text;
if (newValue.selection.baseOffset == 0) {
return newValue;
}
var buffer = StringBuffer();
for (int i = 0; i < text.length; i++) {
buffer.write(text[i]);
var nonZeroIndex = i + 1;
if (nonZeroIndex % 1 == 0 && nonZeroIndex != text.length) {
buffer.write(' ');
}
}
var string = buffer.toString();
return newValue.copyWith(
text: string,
selection: TextSelection.collapsed(offset: string.length));
}
}
inputFormatters: [CustomInputFormatter()],
You can replace all spaces and add spaces in a loop. Also the last space isn't added so you can delete the values
class CustomInputFormatter extends TextInputFormatter {
#override
TextEditingValue formatEditUpdate(TextEditingValue oldValue, TextEditingValue newValue) {
var text = newValue.text;
print(text);
if (newValue.selection.baseOffset == 0) {
return newValue;
}
var buffer = StringBuffer();
text = text.replaceAll(" ", "");
for (int i = 0; i < text.length; i++) {
buffer.write(text[i]);
if(i < (text.length-1))buffer.write(" ");
}
var string = buffer.toString();
return newValue.copyWith(
text: string,
selection: TextSelection.collapsed(offset: string.length)
);
}
}
I am trying to make a TextInputFormatter Mask for IpAddress in flutter
What I am trying to do :
import 'package:flutter/services.dart';
class IpAddressInputFormatter extends TextInputFormatter {
String separator = '-';
#override
TextEditingValue formatEditUpdate(TextEditingValue oldValue, TextEditingValue newValue) {
if (newValue.text.length > 0) {
if (newValue.text.length > oldValue.text.length) {
String lastEnteredChar = newValue.text.substring(newValue.text.length - 1);
var value = newValue.text;
if (lastEnteredChar == separator) {
if (RegExp(separator).allMatches(newValue.text).length > 3) {
return oldValue;
}
if (newValue.text.length > 9) {
return oldValue;
}
return TextEditingValue(
text: '$value',
selection: TextSelection.collapsed(
offset: value.length,
),
);
}
if (!_isNumeric(lastEnteredChar)) return oldValue;
if (_isNumeric(newValue.text.split(separator).last) && newValue.text.split(separator).last.length == 3) {
if (newValue.text.length < 16 && newValue.text.split(separator).last.length <= 3) {
var s = '$separator';
s = newValue.text.length == 15 ? '' : s;
s = RegExp(separator).allMatches(newValue.text).length > 2 ? '' : s;
value = '${newValue.text}$s';
} else if (RegExp(separator).allMatches(newValue.text).length > 2) {
return oldValue;
} else {
return oldValue;
}
} else if (newValue.text.length > 15) {
return oldValue;
} else if (RegExp(separator).allMatches(newValue.text).length == 3 &&
newValue.text.split(separator).last.length > 3) {
return oldValue;
}
return TextEditingValue(

}
}
return newValue;
}
bool _isNumeric(String s) {
if (s == null) return false;
return double.tryParse(s) != null;
}
}
I expect the user to be able to enter 55.55.55.55 | 1.1.1.1 | 1.10.100.4 | etc
Is there a easy way to make an input text fiel for Ip Addresses ?
this code works for some scenarios but not for all ip scenarios, it works well for
10-10-10-10
111-111-111-111
192-168-133-13
1-1-1-1
1-10-10-1
but fails from time to time for
10-100-10-1
Surely it can be improved but it works for me like this.
inputFormatters: [
MyInputFormatters.ipAddressInputFilter(),
LengthLimitingTextInputFormatter(15),
IpAddressInputFormatter()
],
MyInputFormatters.class
class MyInputFormatters {
static TextInputFormatter ipAddressInputFilter() {
return FilteringTextInputFormatter.allow(RegExp("[0-9.]"));
}
}
IpAddressInputFormatter.class
class IpAddressInputFormatter extends TextInputFormatter {
#override
TextEditingValue formatEditUpdate(
TextEditingValue oldValue, TextEditingValue newValue) {
var text = newValue.text;
if (newValue.selection.baseOffset == 0) {
return newValue;
}
int dotCounter = 0;
var buffer = StringBuffer();
String ipField = "";
for (int i = 0; i < text.length; i++) {
if (dotCounter < 4) {
if (text[i] != ".") {
ipField += text[i];
if (ipField.length < 3) {
buffer.write(text[i]);
} else if (ipField.length == 3) {
if (int.parse(ipField) <= 255) {
buffer.write(text[i]);
} else {
if (dotCounter < 3) {
buffer.write(".");
dotCounter++;
buffer.write(text[i]);
ipField = text[i];
}
}
} else if (ipField.length == 4) {
if (dotCounter < 3) {
buffer.write(".");
dotCounter++;
buffer.write(text[i]);
ipField = text[i];
}
}
} else {
if (dotCounter < 3) {
buffer.write(".");
dotCounter++;
ipField = "";
}
}
}
}
var string = buffer.toString();
return newValue.copyWith(
text: string,
selection: TextSelection.collapsed(offset: string.length));
}
}
My input is working perfectly, but I can't delete symbols. How to do this?
I just want the Date in the credit card formatted (like this: 01/25) And if 1 symbol > 1 I write 0+symbol, else I write just symbol
Here the code
class DateFormat extends TextInputFormatter {
//Formatting to *#/## (if (*>1) *=0)
#override
TextEditingValue formatEditUpdate(TextEditingValue oldValue, TextEditingValue newValue) {
final newTextLength = newValue.text.length;
int selectionIndex = newValue.selection.end;
int usedSubstringIndex = 1;
final newTextBuffer = StringBuffer();
if (newTextLength >= 1) {
if (newValue.text.startsWith(RegExp(r'[2-9]'))) {
newTextBuffer.write('0${newValue.text.substring(0, 1)}');
if (newValue.selection.end >= 1) selectionIndex++;
} else {
newTextBuffer.write(newValue.text.substring(0, 2));
}
}
if (newTextLength >= 3) {
newTextBuffer.write('/' + newValue.text.substring(2, usedSubstringIndex = 3));
if (newValue.selection.end >= 2) selectionIndex++;
}
// Dump the rest.
if (newTextLength > usedSubstringIndex) newTextBuffer.write(newValue.text.substring(usedSubstringIndex, newTextLength));
return TextEditingValue(
text: newTextBuffer.toString(),
selection: TextSelection.collapsed(offset: selectionIndex),
);
}
}
Finally i got to solve this problem, checkout this code:
import 'package:flutter/material.dart';
import 'package:flutter/services.dart';
class PhoneMaskFormatter extends TextInputFormatter {
#override
TextEditingValue formatEditUpdate(TextEditingValue oldValue, TextEditingValue newValue) {
//Phone Mask: +X (XXX) XXX-XXXX
//While deleting character get the older value to check if you're deleting not number characters
final oldValueText = oldValue.text.replaceAll(new RegExp(r'[^0-9]'), '');
String newValueText = newValue.text;
//If its same its because you're deleting a non number value so remove the value that you want to delete
if (oldValueText == newValue.text) {
newValueText = newValueText.substring(0, newValue.selection.end - 1) + newValueText.substring(newValue.selection.end, newValueText.length);
}
final int newTextLength = newValueText.length;
int selectionIndex = newValue.selection.end;
int usedSubstringIndex = 0;
final StringBuffer newText = StringBuffer();
if (newTextLength >= 1) {
newText.write('+' + newValueText.substring(0, usedSubstringIndex = 1) + ' (');
if (newValue.selection.end >= 1) selectionIndex += 3;
}
if (newTextLength > 4) {
newText.write(newValueText.substring(1, usedSubstringIndex = 4) + ') ');
if (newValue.selection.end >= 4) selectionIndex += 2;
}
if (newTextLength > 7) {
newText.write(newValueText.substring(4, usedSubstringIndex = 7) + '-');
if (newValue.selection.end >= 7) selectionIndex++;
}
// Dump the rest.
if (newTextLength >= usedSubstringIndex) newText.write(newValueText.substring(usedSubstringIndex));
return TextEditingValue(
text: newText.toString(),
selection: TextSelection.collapsed(offset: selectionIndex),
);
}
}
I am trying to write a date input control which accepts a date like 23/12/1997. What I would like it to do is automatically insert the / characters for the user. So as they type in 23 the listener returns 23/, so that they can then type in 12. At this point the listener again adds a / leaving the user to complete the date by typing 1997.
My TextEditingController code half works and looks like this:
final _controller = TextEditingController();
_controller.addListener(() {
String text = _controller.text;
if (text.length == 2) {
text += '/';
}
if (text.length == 5) {
text += '/';
}
_controller.value = _controller.value.copyWith(
text: text,
selection:
TextSelection(baseOffset: text.length, extentOffset: text.length),
composing: TextRange.empty,
);
print(_controller.text);
}
So it works fine until the user makes a mistake and needs to backtrack. As soon as a / is deleted it is immediately replaced stopping any further editing of the date.
In order to get it to work I need to access is the previously entered text to determine if the user is backspacing. So if text == 23/ && previous_text == 23/1 then I can remove the / from text.
I found this question textfield must only accept numbers and I think it may help me, but I am not sure how to implement an existing widget and override its methods. Of course there may be a simpler way to do this within the TextEditingController?
I have found what I needed to solve my date validation input. It is not perfect, but it is good enough for what I am trying to do. All I needed was to look at the inputFormatters method of a TextField(). This allow manipulation of the input text to put it into any number of user-defined formats. I am including a segment of my code for anyone who would like to try it out:
class _DateFormatter extends TextInputFormatter {
#override
TextEditingValue formatEditUpdate(
TextEditingValue prevText, TextEditingValue currText) {
int selectionIndex;
// Get the previous and current input strings
String pText = prevText.text;
String cText = currText.text;
// Abbreviate lengths
int cLen = cText.length;
int pLen = pText.length;
if (cLen == 1) {
// Can only be 0, 1, 2 or 3
if (int.parse(cText) > 3) {
// Remove char
cText = '';
}
} else if (cLen == 2 && pLen == 1) {
// Days cannot be greater than 31
int dd = int.parse(cText.substring(0, 2));
if (dd == 0 || dd > 31) {
// Remove char
cText = cText.substring(0, 1);
} else {
// Add a / char
cText += '/';
}
} else if (cLen == 4) {
// Can only be 0 or 1
if (int.parse(cText.substring(3, 4)) > 1) {
// Remove char
cText = cText.substring(0, 3);
}
} else if (cLen == 5 && pLen == 4) {
// Month cannot be greater than 12
int mm = int.parse(cText.substring(3, 5));
if (mm == 0 || mm > 12) {
// Remove char
cText = cText.substring(0, 4);
} else {
// Add a / char
cText += '/';
}
} else if ((cLen == 3 && pLen == 4) || (cLen == 6 && pLen == 7)) {
// Remove / char
cText = cText.substring(0, cText.length - 1);
} else if (cLen == 3 && pLen == 2) {
if (int.parse(cText.substring(2, 3)) > 1) {
// Replace char
cText = cText.substring(0, 2) + '/';
} else {
// Insert / char
cText =
cText.substring(0, pLen) + '/' + cText.substring(pLen, pLen + 1);
}
} else if (cLen == 6 && pLen == 5) {
// Can only be 1 or 2 - if so insert a / char
int y1 = int.parse(cText.substring(5, 6));
if (y1 < 1 || y1 > 2) {
// Replace char
cText = cText.substring(0, 5) + '/';
} else {
// Insert / char
cText = cText.substring(0, 5) + '/' + cText.substring(5, 6);
}
} else if (cLen == 7) {
// Can only be 1 or 2
int y1 = int.parse(cText.substring(6, 7));
if (y1 < 1 || y1 > 2) {
// Remove char
cText = cText.substring(0, 6);
}
} else if (cLen == 8) {
// Can only be 19 or 20
int y2 = int.parse(cText.substring(6, 8));
if (y2 < 19 || y2 > 20) {
// Remove char
cText = cText.substring(0, 7);
}
}
selectionIndex = cText.length;
return TextEditingValue(
text: cText,
selection: TextSelection.collapsed(offset: selectionIndex),
);
}
}
To use it simply call it from the Textfield() as shown below. I've also incorporated two built in methods as well. WhitelistingTextInputFormatter() to only allow digits and a slash(/) character to be entered and LengthLimitingTextInputFormatter() to restrict the number of characters allowed. The latter could be achieved using the maxLength parameter of TextField() but it is here by way of example. Note that there is also a BlacklistingTextInputFormatter() which does as you would expect.
WhitelistingTextInputFormatter was removed use FilteringTextInputFormatter.allow(RegExp("[0-9-]")), to replace, and If you want to change split symbol (current is "/"), Pls add it to RegExp(....).
TextField(
// maxLength: 10,
keyboardType: TextInputType.datetime,
controller: _controllerDOB,
focusNode: _focusNodeDOB,
decoration: InputDecoration(
hintText: 'DD/MM/YYYY',
counterText: '',
),
inputFormatters: [
WhitelistingTextInputFormatter(RegExp("[0-9/]")),
LengthLimitingTextInputFormatter(10),
_DateFormatter(),
],
),
You can use datepicker dialog made by flutter.
DateTime _date = DateTime.now()
onPressed: () {
showDatePicker(
context: context,
initialDate: _date,
firstDate: DateTime(2020),
lastDate: DateTime(2021),
).then((date) {
setState(() {
_date = date;
});
});
},
I find your code to be a great utility, without any dependencies. I took the liberty to do a few mods and thought of posting it back here, as I find your concept very neat and lightweight on the UI. The requirements were;
Validating the date for non-31-day months and leap years. The mods were quite straightforward.
Preventing the user entering "/" at undesirable places which will throw the algorithm off-track. The simplest solution is to make the
keyboardType: TextInputType.number, in the TextField
This works perfectly for mobile devices.
But Flutter being cross-platform, this solution may not be foolproof when it comes to a device with physical keyboard. I tried various checks and blocks but only partially succeeded; i.e, user can still input "/" in between the digits of the Day and Month. I think there is an internal delay between KB input and programmatic formatter.
Following is the modified code for _DateFormatter. I have used the /// notion to distinguish my comments. They should be read along with the original // comments.
class _DateFormatter extends TextInputFormatter {
#override
TextEditingValue formatEditUpdate(
TextEditingValue prevText, TextEditingValue currText) {
int selectionIndex;

String cText = currText.text;
cText = cText.replaceAll("//", "/");
// Abbreviate lengths
int cLen = cText.length;
int pLen = pText.length;
/// ENTERING THE DATE
if (cLen == 1) {
/// User enters the first digit of the date. The first digit
// Can only be 0, 1, 2 or 3
if (int.parse(cText) > 3) {
// Remove char
cText = '';
}
} else if (cLen == 2 && pLen == 1) {
/// User has already entered a valid first digit of the date, now he
/// enters the second digit of the date; but
// Days cannot be greater than 31
int dd = int.parse(cText.substring(0, 2));
if (dd == 0 || dd > 31) {
// Remove char
cText = cText.substring(0, 1);
} else {
/// User has entered a valid date (between 1 and 31). So now,
// Add a / char
cText += '/';
}
/// ENTERING THE MONTH
} else if (cLen == 4) {
/// after entering a valid date and programmatic insertion of '/', now User has entered
/// the first digit of the Month. But, it
// Can only be 0 or 1
/// (and, not '/' either)

I found one solution for this, But not an optimized solution, but it is covering almost all the scenarios,
forward slash during adding fields
remove the forward slash on clearing fields
in between editing handling... etc

We can Use our custom formator as in inputFormatters like below
TextField(
// maxLength: 10,
keyboardType: TextInputType.datetime,
controller: _controllerDOB,
focusNode: _focusNodeDOB,
decoration: InputDecoration(
hintText: 'DD/MM/YYYY',
counterText: '',
),
inputFormatters: [
WhitelistingTextInputFormatter(RegExp("[0-9/]")),
LengthLimitingTextInputFormatter(10),
CustomDateTextFormatter(),
],
),
try out this solution.
I am trying to make a text field that properly formats a phone number. I have tried using
NumberFormat("+# ### ### ####");
But it doesn't retain spaces
I have tried simplifying it by just adding a + to the front but I cannot backspace when I set the offset.
class PhoneInputFormatter extends TextInputFormatter {
TextEditingValue formatEditUpdate(
TextEditingValue oldValue, TextEditingValue newValue) {
final text = newValue.text.replaceAll(RegExp(r'\D'), '');
final offset = text.length + 1;
return newValue.copyWith(
text: text.length >= 1 ? '+$text' : '',
selection: TextSelection.collapsed(offset: offset),
);
}
}
Any help would be appreciated
This Should Work :
class NumberTextInputFormatter extends TextInputFormatter {
#override
TextEditingValue formatEditUpdate(
TextEditingValue oldValue, TextEditingValue newValue) {
final int newTextLength = newValue.text.length;
int selectionIndex = newValue.selection.end;
int usedSubstringIndex = 0;
final StringBuffer newText = new StringBuffer();
if (newTextLength >= 1) {
newText.write('+');
if (newValue.selection.end >= 1) selectionIndex++;
}
if (newTextLength >= 3) {
newText.write(newValue.text.substring(0, usedSubstringIndex = 2) + ' ');
if (newValue.selection.end >= 2) selectionIndex += 1;
}
// Dump the rest.
if (newTextLength >= usedSubstringIndex)
newText.write(newValue.text.substring(usedSubstringIndex));
return new TextEditingValue(
text: newText.toString(),
selection: new TextSelection.collapsed(offset: selectionIndex),
);
}
}
final _mobileFormatter = NumberTextInputFormatter();
TextFormField(
keyboardType: TextInputType.phone,
maxLength: 15,
inputFormatters: <TextInputFormatter>[
WhitelistingTextInputFormatter.digitsOnly,
_mobileFormatter,
],
decoration: InputDecoration(
icon: Icon(Icons.phone_iphone),
hintText: "Mobile*",
),
)
Here's a light weight approach (does not work correctly on older Android OS KitKit) where you can set the specific format you want with the MaskedInputFormater class, using the plugin: flutter_multi_formatter
import 'package:flutter_multi_formatter/flutter_multi_formatter.dart';
TextFormField(
keyboardType: TextInputType.phone,
autocorrect: false,
inputFormatters: [
MaskedInputFormater('(###) ###-####')
],
// .. etc
);
In my case, app is only domestic to start, so I don't want any international code in the phone number UI. All the plugins out there seem to expect that.
========================
Update 1
Just tested this on the older Android KitKat, and unfortunately doesn't work correctly there.
However, depending on the app and the audience - if you know most users will have a later OS, this is not a bad solution for getting something out there.
Solution for RU numbers.
We have identical numbers, but written in different ways. 8900.. = +7900..
Also if we start typing with 9, it can automatically become 9.. > +79..
So, this code result will be: +7(900)000-00-00
import 'package:flutter/material.dart';
import 'package:flutter/services.dart';
class NumberTextInputFormatter extends TextInputFormatter {
#override
TextEditingValue formatEditUpdate(
TextEditingValue oldValue, TextEditingValue newValue) {
final newTextLength = newValue.text.length;
int selectionIndex = newValue.selection.end;
int usedSubstringIndex = 1;
final newTextBuffer = StringBuffer();
if (newTextLength >= 1) {
if (newValue.text.startsWith(RegExp(r'[789]'))) {
newTextBuffer.write('+7');
if (newValue.text.startsWith('9')) {
newTextBuffer.write('(9');
selectionIndex = 4;
}
if (newValue.selection.end >= 1) selectionIndex++;
}
}
if (newTextLength >= 2) {
newTextBuffer
.write('(' + newValue.text.substring(1, usedSubstringIndex = 2));
if (newValue.selection.end >= 2) selectionIndex++;
}
if (newTextLength >= 5) {
newTextBuffer.write(
newValue.text.substring(usedSubstringIndex, usedSubstringIndex = 4) +
')');
if (newValue.selection.end >= 4) selectionIndex++;
}
if (newTextLength >= 8) {
newTextBuffer.write(
newValue.text.substring(usedSubstringIndex, usedSubstringIndex = 7) +
'-');
if (newValue.selection.end >= 7) selectionIndex++;
}
if (newTextLength >= 10) {
newTextBuffer.write(
newValue.text.substring(usedSubstringIndex, usedSubstringIndex = 9) +
'-');
if (newValue.selection.end >= 9) selectionIndex++;
}
// Dump the rest.
if (newTextLength > usedSubstringIndex) newTextBuffer.write(newValue.text.substring(usedSubstringIndex, newTextLength));
return TextEditingValue(
text: newTextBuffer.toString(),
selection: TextSelection.collapsed(offset: selectionIndex),
);
}
}
Use the intl_phone_number_input package from pub.dev. I think it's easy.

Because of the android keyboard issue, I've had better luck with my own custom TextInputFormatter. TextFormField has a parameter for inputFormatters which takes a list of formatters. The code I wrote could probably be written in a way that is easier to read without all the ternary operators, but here goes nothing.
class InternationalPhoneFormatter extends TextInputFormatter {
String internationalPhoneFormat(value) {
String nums = value.replaceAll(RegExp(r'[\D]'), '');
String internationalPhoneFormatted = nums.length >= 1
? '+' + nums.substring(0, nums.length >= 1 ? 1 : null) + (nums.length > 1 ? ' (' : '') + nums.substring(1, nums.length >= 4 ? 4 : null)
+ (nums.length > 4 ? ') ' : '') + (nums.length > 4
? nums.substring(4, nums.length >= 7 ? 7 : null) + (nums.length > 7
? '-' + nums.substring(7, nums.length >= 11 ? 11 : null)
: '')
: '')
: nums;
return internationalPhoneFormatted;
}
#override
TextEditingValue formatEditUpdate(
TextEditingValue oldValue, TextEditingValue newValue) {
String text = newValue.text;
if (newValue.selection.baseOffset == 0) {
return newValue;
}
return newValue.copyWith(
text: internationalPhoneFormat(text),
selection: new TextSelection.collapsed(offset: internationalPhoneFormat(text).length)
);
}
}
Use this class as an inputerFormatter argument for your TextForm Field and it will format it as +x (xxx) xxx-xxxx
(US only but easily modifiable) I would recommend only storing digits in your model and formatting the number specifically for the view. For that, I did the following:
/// Human readable version of the phone number
String getFormattedPhoneNumber() {
if (_phoneNumber.isEmpty) {
return "";
}
String phoneNumber = _phoneNumber;
bool addPlus = phoneNumber.startsWith("1");
if (addPlus) phoneNumber = phoneNumber.substring(1);
bool addParents = phoneNumber.length >= 3;
bool addDash = phoneNumber.length >= 8;
// +1
String updatedNumber = "";
if (addPlus) updatedNumber += "+1";
// (222)
if (addParents) {
updatedNumber += "(";
updatedNumber += phoneNumber.substring(0, 3);
updatedNumber += ")";
} else {
updatedNumber += phoneNumber.substring(0);
return updatedNumber;
}
// 111
if (addDash) {
updatedNumber += phoneNumber.substring(3, 6);
updatedNumber += "-";
} else {
updatedNumber += phoneNumber.substring(3);
return updatedNumber;
}
// 3333
updatedNumber += phoneNumber.substring(6);
return updatedNumber;
}
And in your TextInput onChanged method:
void setPhoneNumber(String phoneNumber) {
if (phoneNumber.contains("\(") && !phoneNumber.contains("\)")) {
// Remove the digit the user wanted to remove but couldn't b/c a paren
// was in the way.
phoneNumber = phoneNumber.substring(0, phoneNumber.length - 1);
}
// Only store the actual digits
phoneNumber = phoneNumber.replaceAll(RegExp("[^0-9]"), "");
// Don't let the user enter more digits than is possible
int maxLength = phoneNumber.startsWith("1") ? 11 : 10;
if (phoneNumber.length > maxLength) {
phoneNumber = phoneNumber.substring(0, maxLength);
}
model.setPhoneNumber(phoneNumber);
// Notify the UI to update based on new input
notifyListeners();
}
