textstyle_extensions

Syntactic sugar for easily modifying TextStyles:

// Do this:
myTextStyle.bold.italic.size(16).letterSpace(1.6)

//Instead of this:
myTextStyle.copyWith(fontSize: 16, fontWeight: FontWeight.bold, fontStyle: FontStyle.italic, letterSpacing: 1.6,)

🔨 Installation

dependencies:
  textstyle_extensions: ^1.0.0

⚙ Import

import 'package:textstyle_extensions/textstyle_extensions.dart';

🕹️ Usage

The entire TextStyle API is represented, plus a convenience method for quick scaling:

Widget build(BuildContext context) {
  Text t(String v, TextStyle t) => Text(v, style: t);
  TextStyle style = TextStyle(fontSize: 12);
  return Center(
    child: Column(
      crossAxisAlignment: CrossAxisAlignment.center,
      children: <Widget>[
        t("Normal", style),
        t("Bigger", style.scale(1.1)),
        t("Smaller Bold / Italic / Clr", style.bold.italic.textColor(Colors.redAccent).size(10)),
        t("Weight", style.weight(FontWeight.w100)),
        t("Line Height", style.textHeight(2.5)),
        t("Word Spacing", style.wordSpace(5)),
        t("Letter Spacing", style.letterSpace(3)),
        t("Foreground Paint", style.textForeground(Paint()..color = Colors.orange)),
        t("Background Paint", style.textBackground(Paint()..color = Colors.orange)),
        t("Shadows", style.textShadows([Shadow(color: Colors.redAccent, blurRadius: 4)])),
        t(
          "Decoration",
          style.textDecoration(TextDecoration.underline,
              color: Colors.red, thickness: 4, style: TextDecorationStyle.dotted),
        ),
      ],
    ),
  );
}

Shortcut method names are introduced where it makes sense. This is done both for brevity, and to reduce conflicts with the underlying TextStyle properties.
