Flutter Masked Text is a Flutter package that enables masked text input fields, allowing users to enter data in a predefined format such as phone numbers, dates, or credit card numbers. It automatically formats input as the user types, improving usability and reducing errors. The package supports dynamic masks, customizable placeholders, and real-time validation. Ideal for forms requiring structured input, it enhances the user experience by guiding input through visual formatting. It integrates seamlessly with Flutter's TextField widget and works across platforms without additional configuration.
