Date of Birth component #21

Closed royibernthal closed 4 years ago

royibernthal commented 4 years ago

I'd like to create a date of birth component similar to the app Badoo - DD/MM/YYYY

This repo seems nearly perfect for it, except I'm not sure it supports 2 things I need: -Custom Spaces - Spaces between DD, MM and YYYY. -Text Hints - Each digit should have a hint until it's replaced with a digit. (e.g. DD/MM/YYYY -> typed 2 -> 2D/MM/YYYY)

For the spaces, I considered having 3 different components in a row, but at the very least backspace between components will like be an issue.

I suppose I could do it more easily with text masking, but it's just not as slick.

Are there any suggestions on how I can pull it off using this repo Otherwise, if it's not currently possible, would you please take it as a request to add functionalities that'd allow implementing it?

  1. I would add gapSpace collections to custom for a distance of two components, except BoxTightDecoration.
  2. Text hints is a good idea and will be implemented next version.

BTW, I would consider every single word as a component. This repo still is a Pin Input Widget not a General Input Widget.

Thanks for the willingness to help :)

  1. Not sure I understand. Flutter gapspace collection doesn't yield any relevant results on google, and I don't see anything of the sort in this repo's API. How would you do that?

  2. Perfect, thanks.

I did consider having each word as a component, however how would you solve backspace between components? For instance, I'm on the first digit of the second component, and when I press backspace I expect to now be focused on the first component. As far as I understand flutter doesn't support detecting backspace.

Frankly if I can make the spaces between digits when it's a single component, as well as add hints, I really have no reason to have multiple components, as it gives me just what I need.

LOL, gapspace collections means List<int>.

In addition, every digit refer to a component but not a widget. In this repo, I'd like to add transparent textfield in the background to receive the text changes as well as focus. And I create a paint to control the display of text and border.

The final rendering if you run the latest code.

Oh. You meant you were going to add support for multiple gap spaces as well. Sorry, I didn't understand that.

Thanks a lot for adding support for both my requests :) Any idea when you'll push an official version to pub.dev?

TinoGuo commented 4 years ago

Maybe the next few days before 26th, I'd like to complete the unit test first.

Got it, no problem.
