Features #

• ✅ Highlight Text
• ✅ Highlight Text Field [beta]
• ✅ Highlight Text Span

Getting started #

Import the package:

import 'package:rounded_background_text/rounded_background_text.dart';

Usage #

Highlight a simple text: #

RoundedBackgroundText(
  'A cool text to be highlighted',
  style: const TextStyle(fontWeight: FontWeight.bold),
  backgroundColor: Colors.white,
),

Multiline text is also supported

RoundedBackgroundText(
  'A cool text to be highlighted\nWith two lines or more',
  style: const TextStyle(fontWeight: FontWeight.bold),
  backgroundColor: Colors.amber,
),

Highlight a text field: #

You must use a TextEditingController

final controller = TextEditingController();

RoundedBackgroundTextField(
  controller: controller, // required
  backgroundColor: Colors.blue,
  style: const TextStyle(fontWeight: FontWeight.bold),
  textAlign: TextAlign.center,
),

The text will be highlighted as the user types

The font size of the text will be reduced if there isn't enough space to fit the text. The text field can't be scrollable

Highlight a text span: #

Highlight a small part of a text

RichText(
  text: TextSpan(
    text: 'Start your text and ',
    children: [
      RoundedBackgroundTextSpan(
        text: 'highlight something',
        backgroundColor: Colors.blue,
      ),
      const TextSpan(text: ' when necessary'),
    ],
  ),
),

You may like to know: #

Change the corner radius #

You can change the radius of the corners by setting innerRadius and outerRadius:

RoundedBackgroundText(
  'A cool text to be highlighted',
  style: const TextStyle(fontWeight: FontWeight.bold),
  backgroundColor: Colors.white,
  innerRadius: 15.0,
  outerRadius: 10.0,
),

The max allowed value is 20.0. The min is 0.0

Known issues with the text field #

• It can't be scrollable. Instead, as a workaround, the text is scaled down to fit the available space
