Formatters Included

1. Phone Formatter
2. Credit / Debit Card Formatter
3. Money Formatter
4. Masked Formatter
5. Pinyin syllable separating formatter

Special utilities

1. Bitcoin (BTC) wallet validator;
2. Digit exctractor (allows to extract all digits out of a string)
3. Phone number validator (the check is based on country phone codes and masks so it's a more serious and reliable validation than a simple regular expression)
4. "Is digit" checker (Simply checks if an input string value a digit or not)
5. Currency string formatter (allows to convert a number to a currency string representation e.g. this 10000 to this 10,000.00$)
6. Unfocuser (a widget that is used to unfocus any text fields without any boilerplate code. Extremely simple to use)
7. PinyinUtils class that contains a few usefull methods to work with chinese pinyin
   • PinyinUtils.clearPunctuation : removes all punctuations from a string, including special chinese punctuation
   • PinyinUtils.containsTone: returns true if a string contains some tone. False otherwise
   • PinyinUtils.getPinyinTones returns a list of int's with all syllable tones in a sentence
   • PinyinUtils.getPinyinTone the same as PinyinUtils.getPinyinTones but for a single syllable. Returns its tone. 5 means neutral tone
   • PinyinUtils.splitToSyllables: a generic function that can accept String or SyllableData as a generic constraint and return a list of objects of this type. SyllableData is more advanced then just a string. Use it if you need to know if a string is a valid pinyin as well as its tone

Formatting a phone

PhoneInputFormatter.replacePhoneMask(
    countryCode: 'RU',
    newMask: '+0 (000) 000 00 00',
);
PhoneInputFormatter.addAlternativePhoneMasks(
    countryCode: 'BR',
    alternativeMasks: [
    '+00 (00) 0000-0000',
    '+(00) 00000',
    '+00 (00) 00-0000',
    ],
);
/// There is also a possibility to enter endless phones 
/// by setting allowEndlessPhone to true 
/// this means that you can enter a phone number of any length
/// its part that matches a mask will be formatted 
/// and the rest will be entered unformatted
/// is will allow you to support any phones (even those that are not supported by the formatter yet)
PhoneInputFormatter(
    onCountrySelected: _onCountrySelected,
    allowEndlessPhone: true,
)

Using a pre-defined country code

PhoneCountryData? _initialCountryData;
...

Row(
  children: [
    Expanded(
      flex: 3,
      child: CountryDropdown(
        printCountryName: true,
        initialPhoneCode: '7',
        onCountrySelected: (PhoneCountryData countryData) {
          setState(() {
            _initialCountryData = countryData;
          });
        },
      ),
    ),
    SizedBox(width: 10.0),
    Expanded(
      flex: 5,
      child: TextFormField(
        key: ValueKey(_initialCountryData ?? 'country'),
        decoration: InputDecoration(
          border: OutlineInputBorder(),
          hintText: _initialCountryData?.phoneMaskWithoutCountryCode,
          hintStyle: TextStyle(color: Colors.black.withOpacity(.3)),
          errorStyle: TextStyle(
            color: Colors.red,
          ),
        ),
        keyboardType: TextInputType.phone,
        inputFormatters: [
          PhoneInputFormatter(
            allowEndlessPhone: false,
            defaultCountryCode: _initialCountryData?.countryCode,
          )
        ],
      ),
    )
  ],
)

You can also filter the list of countries if you need

CountryDropdown(
    printCountryName: true,
    initialPhoneCode: '7',
    filter: PhoneCodes.findCountryDatasByCountryCodes(
    countryIsoCodes: [
        'RU',
        'BR',
        'DE',
    ],
)

Utility methods and widgets

Validates Bitcoin wallets (also supports bech32)

You can use these example wallets to test the validator

P2PKH addresses start with the number 1 Example: 1BvBMSEYstWetqTFn5Au4m4GFg7xJaNVN2

P2SH addresses start with the number 3 Example: 3J98t1WpEZ73CNmQviecrnyiWrnqRhWNLy

Bech32 addresses also known as "bc1 addresses" start with bc1 Example: bc1qar0srrr7xfkvy5l643lydnw9re59gtzzwf5mdq

/// a simple check if its a BTC wallet or not, regardless of its type
bool isBitcoinWalletValid(String value);

/// a bit more complicated check which can return the type of 
/// BTC wallet and return SegWit (Bech32), Regular, or None if 
/// the string is not a BTC address
BitcoinWalletType getBitcoinWalletType(String value);

/// Detailed check, for those who need to get more details 
/// of the wallet. Returns the address type, the network, and 
/// the wallet type along with its address. 
/// It always returns BitcoinWalletDetails object. To check if it's
/// valid or not use bitcoinWalletDetails.isValid getter
/// IMPORTANT The BitcoinWalletDetails class overrides an 
/// equality operators so two BitcoinWalletDetails objects can be 
/// compared simply like this bwd1 == bwd2
BitcoinWalletDetails getBitcoinWalletDetails(String? value);

Gets all numbers out of a string and joins them into a new string e.g. a string like fGgfjh456bb78 will be converted into this: 45678

import 'package:flutter_multi_formatter/flutter_multi_formatter.dart';

String toNumericString(String text);

returns 'true' if the checked character is a digit

import 'package:flutter_multi_formatter/flutter_multi_formatter.dart';

bool isDigit(String character);

toCurrencyString() is used by the CurrencyInputFormatter internally but you can also use it directly

import 'package:flutter_multi_formatter/flutter_multi_formatter.dart';

String toCurrencyString(String value, {
    int mantissaLength = 2,
    /// in case you need a period as a thousand separator
    /// simply change ThousandSeparator.Comma to ThousandSeparator.Period
    /// and you will get 1.000.000,00 instead of 1,000,000.00
    ThousandSeparator thousandSeparator = ThousandSeparator.Comma,
    ShorteningPolicy shorteningPolicy = ShorteningPolicy.NoShortening,
    String leadingSymbol = '',
    String trailingSymbol = '',
    bool useSymbolPadding = false
});

print(toCurrencyString('123456', leadingSymbol: CurrencySymbols.DOLLAR_SIGN)); // $123,456.00

/// the values can also be shortened to thousands, millions, billions... 
/// in this case a 1000 will be displayed as 1K, and 1250000 will turn to this 1.25M
var result = toCurrencyString(
    '125000', 
    leadingSymbol: CurrencySymbols.DOLLAR_SIGN,
    shorteningPolicy: ShorteningPolicy.RoundToThousands
); // $125K

result = toCurrencyString(
    '1250000', 
    leadingSymbol: CurrencySymbols.DOLLAR_SIGN,
    shorteningPolicy: ShorteningPolicy.RoundToMillions
); // 1.25M

There's also an "extension" version of this function which can be used on double, int and String.

import 'package:flutter_multi_formatter/flutter_multi_formatter.dart';

var someNumericValue = 123456;
print(someNumericValue.toCurrencyString(leadingSymbol: CurrencySymbols.DOLLAR_SIGN)); // $123,456.00

var someNumericStringValue = '123456';
print(someNumericStringValue.toCurrencyString(trailingSymbol: CurrencySymbols.EURO_SIGN)); // 123,456.00€

Unfocuser()

Unfocuser allows you to unfocus any text input and hide the onscreen keyboard when you tap outside of a text input. Use it like this:

@override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
return Unfocuser(
    child: Scaffold(
    body: SingleChildScrollView(
        child: Padding(
        padding: const EdgeInsets.all(30.0),
        child: Form(
            key: _formKey,
            child: Column(
            children: <Widget>[
                TextFormField(
                keyboardType: TextInputType.phone,
                inputFormatters: [
                    PhoneInputFormatter()
                ],
                ),
            ],
            ),
        ),
        ),
    ),
    ),
);
}

More detailed description

PhoneInputFormatter()

Automatically detects the country the phone number belongs to and formats the number according to its mask. You don't have to care about keeping track of the list of countries or anything else. The whole process is completely automated. You simply add this formatter to the list of formatters like this:

TextFormField(
    keyboardType: TextInputType.phone,
    inputFormatters: [
        PhoneInputFormatter()
    ],
),

You can also get a country data for the selected phone number by simply passing a callback function to your formatter.

TextFormField(
    keyboardType: TextInputType.phone,
    inputFormatters: [
        PhoneInputFormatter(onCountrySelected:  (PhoneCountryData countryData) {
            print(countryData.country);
        });
    ],
),

CreditCardNumberInputFormatter()

CreditCardNumberInputFormatter automatically detects a type of a card based on a predefined list of card system and formats the number accordingly. This detection is pretty rough and may not work with many card system. All supported systems are available as string constants in

class CardSystem {
  static const String MIR = 'MIR';
  static const String UNION_PAY = 'UnionPay';
  static const String VISA = 'Visa';
  static const String MASTERCARD = 'Mastercard';
  static const String JCB = 'JCB';
  static const String DISCOVER = 'Discover';
  static const String MAESTRO = 'Maestro';
  static const String AMERICAN_EXPRESS = 'Amex';
  static const String DINERS_CLUB = 'DinersClub';
}

Anyway, if the number is not supported it will just be returned as it is and your input will not break because of that

TextFormField(
    keyboardType: TextInputType.number,
    inputFormatters: [
        CreditCardNumberInputFormatter(onCardSystemSelected:  (CardSystemData cardSystemData) {
            print(cardSystemData.system);
        });
    ],
),

/// there's also a method to format a number as a card number
/// the method is located in a credit_card_number_input_formatter.dart file
String formatAsCardNumber(
String cardNumber, {
    bool useSeparators = true,
});

/// and a method to check is a card is valid
bool isCardValidNumber(String cardNumber);
/// but it will return true only if the card system is supported, 
/// so you should not really rely on that

Masked formatter

MaskedInputFormatter()

This formatter allows you to easily format a text by a mask This formatter processes current text selection very carefully so that input does not feel unnatural Use it like any other formatters

/// # matches any character and 0 matches digits
/// so, in order to format a string like this GHJ45GHJHN to GHJ-45-GHJHN
/// use a mask like this
TextFormField(
    keyboardType: TextInputType.phone,
    inputFormatters: [
        MaskedInputFormatter('###-00-#####')
    ],
),

But in case you want # (hash symbol) to match only some particular values, you can pass a regular expression to [anyCharMatcher] parameter

/// in this scenario, the # symbol will only match uppercase latin letters
TextFormField(
    keyboardType: TextInputType.phone,
    inputFormatters: [
        MaskedInputFormatter('###-00-#####', anyCharMatcher: RegExp(r'[A-Z]'))
    ],
),

Money Input formatter

CurrencyInputFormatter()

TextFormField(
    keyboardType: TextInputType.number,
    inputFormatters: [
        CurrencyInputFormatter(
            leadingSymbol: CurrencySymbols.DOLLAR_SIGN
        )
    ],
),
...

TextFormField(
    keyboardType: TextInputType.number,
    inputFormatters: [
        CurrencyInputFormatter
            trailingSymbol: CurrencySymbols.EURO_SIGN,
            useSymbolPadding: true,
            mantissaLength: 3 // the length of the fractional side
        )
    ],
),

Point of Sale input formatter

PosInputFormatter

Allows you to enter numbers like you would normally do on a sales terminal

TextFormField(
    keyboardType: TextInputType.number,
    inputFormatters: [
        PosInputFormatter(),
    ],
),

Chinese Pinyin separating

PinyinFormatter

Allows to split a phrase into pinyin syllables e.g. wohenhaonine? will turn into wo'hen'hao'ni'ne? It works irregarding tones, so you can enter text with plain english characters and it will still work

TextFormField(
    inputFormatters: [
        PinyinFormatter(),
    ],
),

Or you can use some utility methods like

final value = PinyinUtils.splitToSyllablesBySeparator(
    'wǒhěngāoxìngrènshinǐ',
);
print(value); /// wǒ'hěn'gāo'xìng'rèn'shi'nǐ
