The TextField widget doesn't seem to have a "limit" attribute to limit the number of characters that can be typed. How I can enforce that only a certain number of characters can be provided as input in a TextField Widget. I tried looking at the decoration property and potentially setting the limit there somehow but that didn't seem to work either. Is there a different widget I should be using?

using maxLength will give you length counter and increases the Field height, so this answer would be the accepted one, this one is working fine. Thank You, It is working fine to me. I used this to restrict the length of AutocompleteTextField.
Right-click the text box for which you want to limit characters, and then click Text Box Properties on the shortcut menu. Click the Display tab. Under Options, select the Limit text box to check box, and then specify the number of characters that you want.
You can change the font size of text in a Text Widget using style property. Create a TextStyle object with fontSize and specify this object as style for Text Widget.
Use inputFormatters property
example:
TextFormField( inputFormatters: [ LengthLimitingTextInputFormatter(10), ] ) namespace
import 'package:flutter/services.dart'; You can use the maxLength property and you can still hide the bottom counter text by setting the counterText to empty string.
TextField( maxLength: 10, decoration: InputDecoration( counterText: '' ), ) If you love us? You can donate to us via Paypal or buy me a coffee so we can maintain and grow! Thank you!
