chips_choice

[!IMPORTANT]

Hi everyone,

I'm sorry to announce that I'm no longer maintaining the chips_choice package. It's been a great project, but it's become too difficult to maintain.

In its place, I've released a new package called choice. The combination to smart_select and chips_choice with cleaner, more flexible, and composable API for creating inline or prompted choice widgets with single or multiple selection.

I hope you'll check out choice. I think you'll find it to be a great replacement for chips_choice.

Thanks for your understanding.

Lite version of smart_select package, zero dependencies, an easy way to provide a single or multiple choice chips.

What's New in Version 3.x.x

• Changed default chip to flexi_chip
• C2Chip is alias to FlexiChip now
• C2ChoiceStyle changed to C2ChipStyle and alias to FlexiChipStyle

Build Choice List

choiceItems property is List<C2Choice<T>>, it can be input directly as in the example below, more info about C2Choice can be found on the API Reference

ChipsChoice<T>.[single|multiple](
  ...,
  ...,
  choiceItems: <C2Choice<T>>[
    C2Choice<T>(value: 1, label: 'Entertainment'),
    C2Choice<T>(value: 2, label: 'Education'),
    C2Choice<T>(value: 3, label: 'Fashion'),
  ],
);

choiceItems also can be created from any list using helper provided by this package, like the example below

List<Map<String, String>> days = [
  { 'value': 'mon', 'title': 'Monday' },
  { 'value': 'tue', 'title': 'Tuesday' },
  { 'value': 'wed', 'title': 'Wednesday' },
  { 'value': 'thu', 'title': 'Thursday' },
  { 'value': 'fri', 'title': 'Friday' },
  { 'value': 'sat', 'title': 'Saturday' },
  { 'value': 'sun', 'title': 'Sunday' },
];

ChipsChoice<T>.[single|multiple](
  ...,
  ...,
  choiceItems: C2Choice.listFrom<T, Map<String, String>>(
    source: days,
    value: (index, item) => item['value'],
    label: (index, item) => item['title'],
  ),
);

Use choiceLoader to easily load choice items from async function

import 'package:dio/dio.dart';

String value;

Future<List<C2Choice<String>>> getChoices() async {
  String url = "https://randomuser.me/api/?inc=gender,name,nat,picture,email&results=25";
  Response res = await Dio().get(url);
  return C2Choice.listFrom<String, dynamic>(
    source: res.data['results'],
    value: (index, item) => item['email'],
    label: (index, item) => item['name']['first'] + ' ' + item['name']['last'],
    meta: (index, item) => item,
  )..insert(0, C2Choice<String>(value: 'all', label: 'All'));
}

@override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
  return ChipsChoice<String>.single(
    value: value,
    onChanged: (val) => setState(() => value = val),
    choiceItems: null,
    choiceLoader: getChoices,
  );
}
