Example
import 'package:flutter/material.dart';
import 'package:rich_text_controller/rich_text_controller.dart';

void main() {
  runApp(MyApp());
}

class MyApp extends StatelessWidget {
  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return MaterialApp(
      home: Scaffold(
        appBar: AppBar(title: Text('RichTextController Example')),
        body: Center(
          child: Padding(
            padding: const EdgeInsets.all(16.0),
            child: TextField(
              controller: RichTextController(
                text: '',
                onMatch: (match, target) {
                  print('Match found: \$match');
                },
                targetMatches: [
                  MatchTargetItem(
                    textStyle: TextStyle(color: Colors.blue, fontWeight: FontWeight.bold),
                    regex: RegExp(r'#[a-zA-Z0-9_]+'),
                  ),
                  MatchTargetItem(
                    textStyle: TextStyle(color: Colors.green),
                    regex: RegExp(r'@[a-zA-Z0-9_]+'),
                  ),
                ],
              ),
              decoration: InputDecoration(border: OutlineInputBorder()),
            ),
          ),
        ),
      ),
