Transform Your Text Experience

TypeSet brings WhatsApp, Telegram-like text styling to your Flutter apps with a powerful twist. Create rich, dynamic text experiences that can be driven by your backend or controlled directly in your UI.

With TypeSet, you can seamlessly integrate bold, italic, strikethrough, underlined text, monospace, hyperlinks, and even dynamic font sizing without complex widgets or convoluted styling code.

TypeSet Widget	TypeSetEditingController

Craft the perfect user experience with text styling that feels natural to your users. TypeSet makes it easy to implement rich text features that would otherwise require complex custom solutions.

🚀 Getting Started

Installation

Add TypeSet to your project by including it in your pubspec.yaml:

dependencies:
  typeset: ^2.3.0  # Check pub.dev for the latest version

Then run:

flutter pub get

💎 Usage

TypeSet is designed to be as simple as using Flutter's built-in Text widget:

import 'package:typeset/typeset.dart';

// Just drop in your formatted text
TypeSet('Hello *Flutter* developers!');

Text Formatting Syntax

Style	Syntax	Result
Bold	*text*	text
Italic	_text_	text
Strikethrough	~text~	text
Underline	#text#	text
Monospace	`text`	text
Link	§Link text|https://url§	Link text
Font Size	text<size>	Renders text at specified size

Advanced Examples

// Hyperlink with custom tap action
TypeSet(
  '§Visit Flutter\|https://flutter.dev§',
  linkRecognizerBuilder: (linkText, url) =>
    TapGestureRecognizer()..onTap = () {
      // Your custom action here
    },
);

// Dynamic font sizing
TypeSet('Regular text with *bigger<24>* words');

// Escape formatting characters
TypeSet('Use the ¦* symbol to show *asterisks*');

💬 Interactive Text Editing

TypeSetEditingController

New in v2.3.0! Add WhatsApp-like styling to your text input fields with real-time formatting preview:

import 'package:typeset/typeset.dart';
import 'package:flutter/material.dart';

// Create a controller with optional styling parameters
final controller = TypeSetEditingController(
  // Initial text with formatting
  text: 'This is *bold* and _italic_',
  // Style for the formatting markers
  markerColor: Colors.grey.shade400,
  // Style for links
  linkStyle: const TextStyle(color: Colors.blue),
  // Style for bold text
  boldStyle: const TextStyle(fontWeight: FontWeight.bold),
  // Style for monospace text
  monospaceStyle: const TextStyle(fontFamily: 'Courier'),
);

// Use it with a TextField
TextField(
  controller: controller,
  maxLines: 3,
  decoration: const InputDecoration(
    border: OutlineInputBorder(),
    hintText: 'Type formatted text here...',
  ),
);

Context Menu Integration

Add formatting options to the text selection context menu with getTypesetContextMenus():

import 'package:typeset/typeset.dart';
import 'package:flutter/material.dart';

TextField(
  controller: TypeSetEditingController(),
  contextMenuBuilder: (context, editableTextState) {
    return AdaptiveTextSelectionToolbar.buttonItems(
      anchors: editableTextState.contextMenuAnchors,
      buttonItems: [
        // Add TypeSet formatting options to the context menu
        ...getTypesetContextMenus(
          editableTextState: editableTextState,
          // Optional: specify which formatting options to include
          // styleTypes: [StyleTypeEnum.bold, StyleTypeEnum.italic],
        ),
        // Keep the default context menu items
        ...editableTextState.contextMenuButtonItems,
      ],
    );
  },
);

This adds formatting buttons (Bold, Italic, Strikethrough, etc.) to the text selection menu, allowing users to easily format selected text.
