Flutter – how to format phone number text field

Question

I want to make my TextFormField formats input number in proper phone number format.

I'm have tried using below TextInputFormatter

class NumberTextInputFormatter extends TextInputFormatter {
  @override
  TextEditingValue formatEditUpdate(
      TextEditingValue oldValue, TextEditingValue newValue) {
    final int newTextLength = newValue.text.length;
    int selectionIndex = newValue.selection.end;
    int usedSubstringIndex = 0;
    final StringBuffer newText = new StringBuffer();
    if (newTextLength >= 1) {
      newText.write('+');
      if (newValue.selection.end >= 1) selectionIndex++;
    }
    if (newTextLength >= 3) {
      newText.write(newValue.text.substring(0, usedSubstringIndex = 1) + ' ');
      if (newValue.selection.end >= 2) selectionIndex += 1;
    }
    if (newTextLength >= 3) {
      newText.write( ' ');
      if (newValue.selection.end >= 6) selectionIndex += 1;
    }
    if (newTextLength >= usedSubstringIndex)
      newText.write(newValue.text.substring(usedSubstringIndex));
    return new TextEditingValue(
      text: newText.toString(),
      selection: new TextSelection.collapsed(offset: selectionIndex),
    );
  }
}

but i'm not getting expected output

My expected number format "+1 123-456-7890"

If need more information please do let me know. Thanks in advance. Your efforts will be appreciated.

Answer 1

Finally i have decided take phone number and country code from two separate TextFormField

CountryCodeTextInputFormatter for output like this +12

class CountryCodeTextInputFormatter extends TextInputFormatter {
  @override
  TextEditingValue formatEditUpdate(
      TextEditingValue oldValue, TextEditingValue newValue) {
    final int newTextLength = newValue.text.length;
    int selectionIndex = newValue.selection.end;
    int usedSubstringIndex = 0;
    final StringBuffer newText = new StringBuffer();
    if (newTextLength >= 1) {
      newText.write('+');
      if (newValue.selection.end >= 1) selectionIndex++;
    }
    if (newTextLength >= usedSubstringIndex)
      newText.write(newValue.text.substring(usedSubstringIndex));
    return new TextEditingValue(
      text: newText.toString(),
      selection: new TextSelection.collapsed(offset: selectionIndex),
    );
  }
}

PhoneNumberTextInputFormatter for output like this 132-456-7890

class PhoneNumberTextInputFormatter extends TextInputFormatter {
  @override
  TextEditingValue formatEditUpdate(
      TextEditingValue oldValue, TextEditingValue newValue) {
    final int newTextLength = newValue.text.length;
    int selectionIndex = newValue.selection.end;
    int usedSubstringIndex = 0;
    final StringBuffer newText = new StringBuffer();
    if (newTextLength >= 4) {
      newText.write(newValue.text.substring(0, usedSubstringIndex = 3) + '-');
      if (newValue.selection.end >= 3)
        selectionIndex += 2;
    }
    if (newTextLength >= 7) {
      newText.write(newValue.text.substring(3, usedSubstringIndex = 6) + '-');
      if (newValue.selection.end >= 6)
        selectionIndex++;
    }
    if (newTextLength >= 11) {
      newText.write(newValue.text.substring(6, usedSubstringIndex = 10) );
      if (newValue.selection.end >= 10)
        selectionIndex++;
    }
    if (newTextLength >= usedSubstringIndex)
      newText.write(newValue.text.substring(usedSubstringIndex));
    return new TextEditingValue(
      text: newText.toString(),
      selection: new TextSelection.collapsed(offset: newText.length),
    );
  }
}
