:star: Updating Text widget made simple :star:

Have you stumble upon a situations where you simply need to update UI text without dealing with state management techniques? If so, this package is a perfect fit for you.

Features

• [X] Updates text without any hassle.
• [X] Provides call back with old and new value of your text widget.
• [X] Reset to initial value whenever you want.

Getting started

Add live_text to your pubspec.yaml file and start making your text live.

Installation

Just add live_text as a dependency in your pubspec.yaml file.

dependencies:
  live_text: <Latest Version>

Usage

  import 'package:live_text/live_text.dart';

Simple counter example.

• Create LiveTextController instance

  LiveTextController counterLiveTextController = LiveTextController(initialValue: "0");
  

• Create LiveText widget and provide LiveTextController that we just created

   LiveText(
              style: Theme.of(context).textTheme.headlineMedium,
              liveTextController: counterLiveTextController,
            ),
  

• Now provide following call backs on increase and decrease button

    void _incrementCounter() {
  counterLiveTextController.setValue =
      (int.parse(counterLiveTextController.getValue) + 1).toString();
  }
  
   void _decrementCounter() {
    counterLiveTextController.setValue =
        (int.parse(counterLiveTextController.getValue) - 1).toString();
  }
  

Timer example.

• Following is the full example code for Timer app using live_text

import 'dart:async';

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

class TimerExample extends StatelessWidget {
  TimerExample({super.key});

  late LiveTextController timerLiveTextController = LiveTextController(
      initialValue: "00:00",
      onValueChanged: (String oldValue, String newValue) {
        print("Timer");

        print("Old Value $oldValue");
        print("New Value $newValue");
      });

  Timer? timer;

  void _toggleTimer() {
    if (timer == null) {
      DateTime futureTime = DateTime.now().add(const Duration(seconds: 120));

      timer ??= Timer.periodic(const Duration(milliseconds: 100), (_) {
        DateTime latestTime = DateTime.now();
        if (latestTime.isBefore(futureTime)) {
          timerLiveTextController.setValue =
              formatHHMMSS(futureTime.difference(latestTime).inSeconds);
        } else {
          _clearTimer();
        }
      });
    } else {
      _clearTimer();
    }
  }

  void _clearTimer() {
    timer?.cancel();
    timer = null;
    timerLiveTextController.resetValue();
  }

  String formatHHMMSS(int seconds) {
    final hours = (seconds / 3600).truncate();
    seconds = (seconds % 3600).truncate();
    final minutes = (seconds / 60).truncate();

    final hoursStr = (hours).toString().padLeft(2, '0');
    final minutesStr = (minutes).toString().padLeft(2, '0');
    final secondsStr = (seconds % 60).toString().padLeft(2, '0');

    if (hours == 0) {
      return '$minutesStr:$secondsStr';
    }

    return '$hoursStr:$minutesStr:$secondsStr';
  }

  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return Scaffold(
      appBar: AppBar(
        backgroundColor: Theme.of(context).colorScheme.inversePrimary,
        title: const Text("Timer"),
      ),
      body: SafeArea(
        child: Center(
          child: Column(

              const Spacer(),
              LiveText(
                style: Theme.of(context).textTheme.headlineLarge,
                liveTextController: timerLiveTextController,
              ),
              const Spacer(),
              Padding(
                padding: const EdgeInsets.symmetric(horizontal: 16.0),
                child: Row(
                  children: [

                      onPressed: _toggleTimer,
