Please add a static method for initialValues

[khsater]

It is useful to have a static method for use in pre-filled forms and data tables. Can you please add a static method to format strings for initial values?

@khsater Thank you for using.

This is just for formatter.

You can initialize value like below.

@gtgalone , please consider:

double myCurrencyValue;

TextFormField(
   initialValue: myCurrencyValue.toString(),
   onSaved: (value) {
      myCurrencyValue = double.parse(value);
   },
   inputFormatters: [
      CurrencyTextInputFormatter(
           decimalDigits: 2,
           symbol: "\$",
       )],
...
),

In this case, the initial value is not formatted by the formatter. It would be helpful to have access to a static method for this situation when a value must be saved as a double not a formatted string.
