I m using this text widget in Chat list just like whats app .. I can see all text(email, phone, links ) underlined but nothing happens when i click them .. Weird things is when i comment out last 3 patterns some how phone number , email and link starts working. Is this a library bug ? Can u pls advise what might be wrong here .

@2000calories Checking in again . Is this a library limitation ? Can't we use these bold/italic regEx with email, link and phone regEx ? Or somehow its getting overridden . In any case Pls share your thoughts, I'll be grateful . Thanks .

Sorry for late reply. There is a conflict if two EasyRichTextPattern target the same text. Here is a workaround. You can implement the link inside the matchBuilder. Since _ (for italic effect) is common in link, I replace it with !.

EasyRichTextPattern(
  targetString: '(\!)(.*?)(\!)',
  matchBuilder: (BuildContext context, RegExpMatch? match) {
    var boldWebText = match?[0]?.replaceAll("\!", '');
    return TextSpan(
      text: boldWebText,
      recognizer: TapGestureRecognizer()
        ..onTap = () async {
          Uri url = Uri.parse(boldWebText!);
          if (await canLaunchUrl(url)) {
            await launchUrl(url);
          }
        },
      style: const TextStyle(
        // fontWeight: FontWeight.bold,
        fontStyle: FontStyle.italic,
        decoration: TextDecoration.underline,
      ),
    );
  },
),

Hi, I also have an issue with the pattern detector and the TapGetureRecognizer not being executed. I think my problem comes from the custom pattern I added for username detection because without this block of code the other two work fine.

EasyRichTextPattern(
  targetString: '@' + '[A-Za-z0-9]*',
  matchBuilder: (BuildContext context, RegExpMatch? match) {
    String tagUserName = match[0]!;
    return TextSpan(
        text: tagUserName,
        style: Theme.of(context).textTheme.headline3,
        recognizer: TapGestureRecognizer()
          ..onTap = () {
            print("Tag user");
          });
  },
  style: Theme.of(context).textTheme.headline3,
),

EasyRichTextPattern(
  targetString: EasyRegexPattern.webPattern,
  matchBuilder: (BuildContext context, RegExpMatch? match) {
    String link = match[0]!;

    return TextSpan(
      text: link,
      style: TextStyle(
        color: Colors.green,
        decoration: TextDecoration.underline,
      ),
      recognizer: TapGestureRecognizer()
        ..onTap = () async {
          print("Open link");
        },
    );
  },
),

EasyRichTextPattern(
  targetString: EasyRegexPattern.emailPattern,
  matchBuilder: (context, match) {
    String link = match![0]!;

    return TextSpan(
      text: link,
      style: TextStyle(
        color: Colors.red,
        decoration: TextDecoration.underline,
      ),
      recognizer: TapGestureRecognizer()
        ..onTap = () {
          print("Open Email");
        },
    );
  },
),

I tried reorganising the EasyRichTextPattern classes but it didn't help. Is there anything I can do ? Is my regex the problem ? Thanks !
