Dynamic target string

[vishal-android-freak]

Hey, I want the users to define a bold ord like similar to how whatsapp does it. How can I define a dynamic target string because users can type any word between and I want the asterisks to get replaced and the words between them should become bold.

Any idea how we can achieve this?

try matchBuilder

    EasyRichText(
      "TEST *bold font*. test *boldfont*.",
      patternList: [
        EasyRichTextPattern(
          targetString: '(\\*)(.*?)(\\*)',
          matchBuilder: (BuildContext context, RegExpMatch match) {
            return TextSpan(
              text: match[0].replaceAll('*', ''),
              style: TextStyle(fontWeight: FontWeight.bold),
            );
          },
        ),
      ],
    ),

      ],
    ),

If your target string can be multiline, you can use this pattern:

(\\*)((.|\\n)*?)(\\*)

Only difference is that this one also includes new line character between your marks *
