Usage ✨ #

The Magic 🪄 (Auto Mixed Text) #

The easiest way to use this package is with the Text widget. It automatically detects Bangla and English parts and applies the correct fonts.

// Simple usage (Uses default Kalpurush font - No initialization needed!)
Text('Hello 🐒💁👌🎍😍🦊👨বাংলাদেশ world!');

// With custom styling (For custom fonts, pass the font object)
final myFont = pw.Font.ttf(await rootBundle.load('assets/my_font.ttf'));

Text(
  'Hello 🐒💁👌🎍😍🦊👨বাংলাদেশ world!',
  style: pw.TextStyle(
    fontSize: 25,
    color: PdfColors.blue,
  ),
  banglaStyle: pw.TextStyle(
    font: myFont,
    fontSize: 24,
    fontWeight: pw.FontWeight.bold,
    color: PdfColors.red,
  ),
);

This works exactly like a native widget but handles the complex font switching for you!

Example: Generate a PDF #

import 'package:bangla_pdf/bangla_pdf.dart';
import 'package:pdf/widgets.dart' as pw;
import 'package:path_provider/path_provider.dart';
import 'package:open_file/open_file.dart';
import 'dart:io';

Future<void> generateAndOpenPdf() async {
  final pdf = pw.Document();

  pdf.addPage(
    pw.Page(
      build: (context) => pw.Column(
        crossAxisAlignment: pw.CrossAxisAlignment.start,
        children: [
          // Just use Text() for everything!
          Text(
            'This is a mixed text: আমি বাংলাদেশ ভালোবাসি। I love Bangladesh.',
             style: pw.TextStyle(fontSize: 20),
          ),
        ],
      ),
    ),
  );

  final dir = await getApplicationDocumentsDirectory();
  final file = File("${dir.path}/example.pdf");
  await file.writeAsBytes(await pdf.save());
  await OpenFile.open(file.path);
}
