Installation

In your flutter project add the dependency:

dependencies:
    ...
    text_selection_controls: ^[lataets_version]

Import package:

import 'package:text_selection_controls/text_selection_controls.dart';

Usage By Example

On SelectableText Widget

SelectableText(
 ...,
 selectionControls: FlutterSelectionControls(
  toolBarItems: <ToolBarItem>[]
 ),
...
)

On TextField Widget

TextFormField(
  selectionControls: FlutterSelectionControls(
    toolBarItems: <ToolBarItem>[]
  ),
...
)

The Tool Bar Item Class

This class takes two arguments: A widget which will be shown on the text selection tool bar and a callback function which will be called when the widget on the text selection tool bar is tapped or pressed.

class ToolBarItem {
  ToolBarItem({required this.item, this.onItemPressed, this.itemControl})
      : assert(
            onItemPressed == null ? itemControl != null : itemControl == null);
...
}

The tool bar item class also gives an option to choose between the handled callbacks actions namely: Select all, copy, cut and paste controls using the itemControl: ... argument, or to create your own callback methods using the onItemPressed: ... argument. Please not that you can only use one argument only when responding to callbacks.

An application example of itemControl being used

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


class FlutterControls extends StatelessWidget {
  const FlutterControls({ Key? key }) : super(key: key);

  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return SelectableText(
      'This is an example of selectable text with Select All, Copy, Cut and Paste controls',
      selectionControls: FlutterSelectionControls(toolBarItems: [
        ToolBarItem(item: Text('Select All'), itemControl: ToolBarItemControl.selectAll),
        ToolBarItem(item: Icon(Icons.copy), itemControl: ToolBarItemControl.copy),
        ToolBarItem(item: Icon(Icons.cut), itemControl: ToolBarItemControl.cut),
        ToolBarItem(item: Icon(Icons.paste), itemControl: ToolBarItemControl.paste),

      ]),
    );
  }
}

An application example of onItemPressed being used

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


class CustomControls extends StatelessWidget {
  const CustomControls({Key? key}) : super(key: key);

  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return SelectableText(
      'This is an example of selectable text with a custom control.',
      selectionControls: FlutterSelectionControls(toolBarItems: [
        ToolBarItem(
            item: Icon(Icons.bookmark),
            onItemPressed: (String highlightedText, int startIndex, int endIndex) {
              print('Highlighted Text: $highlightedText');
              //TODO 
            })
      ]),
    );
  }
}

Windows, Linux and MacOS platforms + Web

The text_selection_controls: package is deisgned for android and iOS applications but also note that it is still safe to use with these platforms even though the text selection tool bar does not show when a text is highlighted.
