Getting started

In the pubspec.yaml of your flutter project, add the following dependency:

dependencies:
  ...
  editable: "^1.1.4"

In your library add the following import:

import 'package:editable/editable.dart';

API

Create Table

To create a new table, use the Editable() widget class and provide the table data properties as follows:

  • column: an array of objects example example:

    List cols = [
      {"title":'Name', 'widthFactor': 0.2, 'key':'name'},
      {"title":'Date', 'widthFactor': 0.1, 'key':'date'},
      {"title":'Month', 'widthFactor': 0.1, 'key':'month'},
      {"title":'Status',  'key':'status'},
    ]; 
    

    [title] is the column heading

    [widthFactor] a custom size ratio of each column width, if not provided, defaults to [columnRatio = 0.20] dart 'widthFactor': 0.1 //gives 10% of screen size to the column 'widthFactor': 0.2 //gives 20% of screen size to the column

    [key] an identifyer preferably without space and special characters

  • rows: an array of objects, where each object key represents a column [key], example:

    List rows = [
        {"name": 'James Joe', "date":'23/09/2020',"month":'June',"status":'completed'},
        {"date":'12/4/2020',"month":'March',"name": 'Daniel Paul', "status":'new'},
      ];
    

    Each objects DO NOT have to be positioned in same order as its column

  • rowCount: Interger value of number of rows to be generated: Optional if row data is provided

  • columnCount: Interger value of number of columns to be generated: Optional if column data is provided

  • columnRatio: fraction of the screen width occupied by each column. This is usefull for shrinking and expanding table width example:

      columnRation: 0.2 //sets each column to occupy 20 percent of screen width
    
Customization
  • borderColor: Color of table border

  • borderWidth: width of table borders

  • tdPaddingLeft: Table data cell padding left

  • tdPaddingTop: Table data cell padding top

  • tdPaddingRight: Table data cell padding right;

  • tdPaddingBottom: Table data cell padding bottom;

  • tdAlignment: Aligns the table data ;

  • tdStyle: Style the table data;

  • thPaddingLeft: Table header cell padding left;

  • thPaddingTop: Table header cell padding top;

  • thPaddingRight: Table header cell padding right;

  • thPaddingBottom: Table header cell padding bottom;

  • trHeight: Table Row Height, cannot be less than 40.0 ;

  • thWeight: Table headers fontweight;

  • thSize: Table headers fontSize;

  • tdEditableMaxLines : Max lines allowed in editable text, default: 1 (longer data will not wrap and be hidden), setting to 100 will allow wrapping and not increase row size;

  • showSaveIcon: Toogles the save button, if [true] displays an icon to save rows, adds an addition column to the right

  • saveIcon: Icon for to save row data, example: dart saveIcon : Icons.add

  • saveIconColor: Color for the save Icon

  • saveIconSize: Size for the saveIcon

  • showCreateButton: displays a button that adds a new row onPressed

  • stripeColor1: The first row alternate color, if stripe is set to true

  • stripeColor2: The Second row alternate color, if stripe is set to true;

  • zebraStripe: Enable zebra-striping, set to false by default // if zebraStripe is enabled, you can style the colors [stripeColor1] and [stripeColor2]

  • createButtonAlign: Aligns the button for adding new rows;

  • createButtonIcon: Icon displayed in the create new row button;

  • createButtonColor: Color for the create new row button;

  • createButtonShape: border shape of the create new row button createButtonShape: RoundedRectangleBorder( borderRadius: BorderRadius.circular(8) )

  • createButtonLabel: Label for the create new row button

EditableTheme

Default styles can be supplied using EditableThemeData. Add the theme to ThemeData.extensions or wrap a subtree with EditableTheme:

MaterialApp(
  theme: ThemeData(
    extensions: const [
      EditableThemeData(borderColor: Colors.blueGrey),
    ],
  ),
  home: MyHomePage(),
);

Unset parameters on widgets will fall back to values from the nearest EditableTheme.

Save methods
  • onSubmitted: [onSubmitted] callback is triggered when the enter button is tapped (for desktop users) Or when edit is complete(on mobile) on a table data cell it returns a value of the edited cell data

  • onRowSaved: [onRowSaved] callback is triggered when a [saveButton] is pressed. returns only values if row is edited, otherwise returns a string ['no edit']

  • EditableState key: To get all Edited Rows outside the current context, you can access the editable state using a GlobalKey, example:

         /// Create a Key for EditableState
        final _editableKey = GlobalKey<EditableState>(); 
    
      
        /// Function to add a new row
        /// Using the global key assigined to Editable widget
        /// Access the current state of Editable
        void _addNewRow() {
          setState(() {
            _editableKey.currentState.createRow();
          });
        }
    
        ///Print only edited rows.
        void _printEditedRows() {
          List editedRows = _editableKey.currentState.editedRows;
          print(editedRows);
        }
    
          @override
        Widget build(BuildContext context) {
          return Scaffold(
            appBar: AppBar(
              leadingWidth: 200,
              leading: FlatButton.icon(
                  onPressed: () => _addNewRow(),
                  icon: Icon(Icons.add),
                  label: Text(
                    'Add',
                    style: TextStyle(fontWeight: FontWeight.bold),
                  )),
              title: Text(widget.title),
              actions: [
                Padding(
                  padding: const EdgeInsets.all(8.0),
                  child: FlatButton(
                      onPressed: () => _printEditedRows(),
                      child: Text('Print Edited Rows',
                          style: TextStyle(fontWeight: FontWeight.bold))),
                )
              ],
            ),
            body: Editable(
              key: _editableKey, //Assign Key to Widget
              columns: cols,
              rows: rows,
              zebraStripe: true,
              stripeColor2: Colors.grey[200],
              borderColor: Colors.blueGrey,
            ),
          );
        }
