Usage #

Method 1: Using with Controller #

import 'package:custom_roi_cells/custom_roi_cells.dart';

class MyWidget extends StatefulWidget {
  @override
  State<MyWidget> createState() => _MyWidgetState();
}

class _MyWidgetState extends State<MyWidget> {
  // Initialize controller with custom parameters
  final CellsController controller = CellsController(
    screenWidth: 2048.0,
    screenHeight: 500.0,
    cellsRows: 32,
    cellsColumns: 23,
  );

  @override
  void dispose() {
    controller.dispose();
    super.dispose();
  }

  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return CellsWidget(
      controller: controller,
      borderColor: Colors.blue,
      borderWidth: 1.0,
      cellColor: Colors.grey.withOpacity(0.1),
      onCellTap: (row, column) {
        print('Cell selected: Row $row, Column $column');
      },
    );
  }
}

Method 2: Using directly with parameters #

CellsWidget(
  screenWidth: 2048.0,
  screenHeight: 500.0,
  cellsRows: 32,
  cellsColumns: 23,
  borderColor: Colors.blue,
  borderWidth: 0.5,
  showCellNumbers: true,
  onCellTap: (row, column) {
    print('Cell at row $row, column $column');
  },
)

Method 3: Using with Selection (Tap and Drag to select cells) #

final CellsController controller = CellsController(
  screenWidth: 800.0,
  screenHeight: 400.0,
  cellsRows: 20,
  cellsColumns: 20,
);

List<int> selectedIndices = [];

CellsWidget(
  controller: controller,
  enableSelection: true, // Enable selection feature
  selectedCellColor: Colors.red.withOpacity(0.6),
  unselectedCellColor: Colors.white, // Color for unselected cells
  showCellNumbers: true, // Display cell indices
  onSelectionChanged: (indices) {
    selectedIndices = indices;
    print('Selected: $indices');
  },
)

// Selection control buttons
CellsSelectionButtons(
  controller: controller,
  onSave: (indices) {
    print('Saved: $indices');
    // indices is an array [0,1,2,3,...]
  },
  onDelete: (indices) {
    print('Deleted: $indices');
  },
  onClear: () {
    print('Cleared all selection');
  },
)

Method 3.1: Using with Custom Row and Column Colors #

final CellsController controller = CellsController(
  screenWidth: 800.0,
  screenHeight: 400.0,
  cellsRows: 20,
  cellsColumns: 20,
);

CellsWidget(
  controller: controller,
  enableSelection: true,
  // Color for selected cells
  selectedCellColor: Colors.blue.withOpacity(0.5),
  // Color for unselected cells
  unselectedCellColor: Colors.white,
  // Custom colors for specific rows
  rowColors: {
    0: Colors.yellow.withOpacity(0.3),  // Row 0: yellow
    1: Colors.green.withOpacity(0.3),    // Row 1: green
    5: Colors.orange.withOpacity(0.3),   // Row 5: orange
  },
  // Custom colors for specific columns
  columnColors: {
    0: Colors.red.withOpacity(0.3),     // Column 0: red
    2: Colors.purple.withOpacity(0.3),  // Column 2: purple
    10: Colors.cyan.withOpacity(0.3),    // Column 10: cyan
  },
  onSelectionChanged: (indices) {
    print('Selected: $indices');
  },
)

Note: Color priority: Selected cells > Row colors > Column colors > Unselected cell color

Method 4: Using Widget with Form Input #

CellsInputWidget(
  controller: controller,
  showCellsPreview: true,
  onChanged: (width, height, rows, columns) {
    print('Width: $width, Height: $height');
    print('Rows: $rows, Columns: $columns');
  },
)

Method 5: Using as Excel-like Table (NEW!) #

Display Data from List<List

final CellsController controller = CellsController(
  screenWidth: 800.0,
  screenHeight: 600.0,
  cellsRows: 10,
  cellsColumns: 5,
);

final data = [
  ['Name', 'Age', 'City', 'Email', 'Phone'],
  ['John', '25', 'New York', '[email protected]', '123-456-7890'],
  ['Jane', '30', 'London', '[email protected]', '098-765-4321'],
  ['Bob', '35', 'Paris', '[email protected]', '555-123-4567'],
];

CellsTableWidget(
  controller: controller,
  data: data,
  enableEdit: true, // Allow editing cells
  showHeader: true, // Show header row
  headerBackgroundColor: Colors.blue[100],
  onDataChanged: (newData) {
    print('Data changed: $newData');
  },
)

Display Data from List

final mapData = [
  {'name': 'John', 'age': '25', 'city': 'New York'},
  {'name': 'Jane', 'age': '30', 'city': 'London'},
  {'name': 'Bob', 'age': '35', 'city': 'Paris'},
];

CellsTableWidget(
  controller: controller,
  mapData: mapData,
  columns: ['name', 'age', 'city'], // Column order
  enableEdit: true,
  showHeader: true,
)

Using CellsDataController for Advanced Features

final CellsController controller = CellsController(
  screenWidth: 800.0,
  screenHeight: 600.0,
  cellsRows: 20,
  cellsColumns: 10,
);

final CellsDataController dataController = CellsDataController(controller);

// Load data
dataController.loadData([
  ['Header1', 'Header2', 'Header3'],
  ['Data1', 'Data2', 'Data3'],
  ['Data4', 'Data5', 'Data6'],
]);

// Edit cell
dataController.setCellText(5, 'New Text');

// Get cell text
final text = dataController.getCellText(5);

// Format cell
dataController.setCellData(5, CellData(
  text: 'Formatted Text',
  backgroundColor: Colors.yellow,
  textColor: Colors.red,
  fontWeight: FontWeight.bold,
  textAlign: TextAlign.center,
));

// Display with CellsDataWidget
CellsDataWidget(
  controller: controller,
  dataController: dataController,
  enableEdit: true,
)

Search, Sort, and Filter

// Search
final searchResults = CellsSearch.searchCells(
  dataController,
  controller,
  'search text',
  caseSensitive: false,
);

// Sort by column
CellsSort.sortByColumn(
  dataController,
  controller,
  0, // Column index
  ascending: true,
  startRow: 1, // Skip header row
);

// Filter rows
final matchingRows = CellsFilter.filterRows(
  dataController,
  controller,
  (rowData) => rowData[0].contains('John'), // Filter condition
);

// Export to CSV
final csvString = CellsExportImport.exportToCsv(dataController, controller);

// Export to JSON
final jsonData = CellsExportImport.exportToJson(dataController, controller);

// Import from CSV
CellsExportImport.importFromCsv(dataController, controller, csvString);

// Import from JSON
CellsExportImport.importFromJson(dataController, controller, jsonData);
