RichingText

#

Motivation #

Sometimes we need to create a RichText containing many TextSpan depending on the different styles we would like to apply to each substring. To do so, we need to create all the substrings separately which does not make much sense independently.

Therefore, RichingText is a new way of creating rich text by specifying the whole meaningful text. Then, create a list of words or phrases you would like to highlight within the main text. Furthermore, you can specify the style for both the whole text and the highlighted word/phrase. Additionally, you can make the highlighted text actionable so you can execute an action when the word/phrase is pressed.

Usage #

void main() => runApp(MyApp());

class MyApp extends StatelessWidget {
  const MyApp({super.key});

  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return MaterialApp(
      theme: ThemeData(),
      home: Scaffold(
        appBar: AppBar(title: const Text('RichingText')),
        body: RichingText(
          highlights: [
            const ActionableText(
              text: 'RichingText example',
              style: TextStyle(color: Colors.pink),
            ),
            ActionableText(
              text: 'here',
              style: const TextStyle(
                color: Colors.green,
                decoration: TextDecoration.lineThrough,
              ),
              action: () {
                // Execute action
              },
            ),
          ],
          text: 'RichingText example available here',
          style: const TextStyle(
            color: Colors.black,
            fontSize: 24,
            fontWeight: FontWeight.bold,
          ),
        ),
      ),
    );
  }
}
