Single Choice

Preview

There are a few constructors to create a single selection choice widget:

• Choice.inline
• Choice.prompt
• InlineChoice
• InlineChoice.single
• PromptedChoice
• PromptedChoice.single

By default, the choice controller maintains the selection state within a List. Any constructors other than those dedicated to single choice will have a List<T> for their value and onChanged prop. If we want to use a single value of T, we can use ChoiceSingle.value adapter to fill the value prop and ChoiceSingle.onChanged adapter to fill the onChanged prop.

Here is an example of how to use the ChoiceSingle.value and ChoiceSingle.onChanged adapters

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

class InlineScrollableX extends StatefulWidget {
  const InlineScrollableX({super.key});

  @override
  State<InlineScrollableX> createState() => _InlineScrollableXState();
}

class _InlineScrollableXState extends State<InlineScrollableX> {
  List<String> choices = [
    'News',
    'Entertainment',
    'Politics',
    'Automotive',
    'Sports',
    'Education',
    'Fashion',
    'Travel',
    'Food',
    'Tech',
    'Science',
    'Arts'
  ];

  String? selectedValue;

  void setSelectedValue(String? value) {
    setState(() => selectedValue = value);
  }

  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return Column(
      children: [
        Choice<String>.inline(
          clearable: true,
          value: ChoiceSingle.value(selectedValue),
          onChanged: ChoiceSingle.onChanged(setSelectedValue),
          itemCount: choices.length,
          itemBuilder: (state, i) {
            return ChoiceChip(
              selected: state.selected(choices[i]),
              onSelected: state.onSelected(choices[i]),
              label: Text(choices[i]),
            );
          },
          listBuilder: ChoiceList.createScrollable(
            spacing: 10,
            padding: const EdgeInsets.symmetric(
              horizontal: 20,
              vertical: 25,
            ),
          ),
        ),
        InlineChoice<String>.single(
          clearable: true,
          value: selectedValue,
          onChanged: setSelectedValue,
          itemCount: choices.length,
          itemBuilder: (state, i) {
            return ChoiceChip(
              selected: state.selected(choices[i]),
              onSelected: state.onSelected(choices[i]),
              label: Text(choices[i]),
            );
          },
          listBuilder: ChoiceList.createWrapped(
            spacing: 10,
            runSpacing: 10,
            padding: const EdgeInsets.symmetric(
              horizontal: 20,
              vertical: 25,
            ),
          ),
        ),
      ],
    );
