Appending TextFormField Values to TextField with New Lines in Flutter

In the world of Flutter development, handling user input efficiently is key to creating a great user experience. One common requirement is to collect text input from a TextFormField and display it in a TextField, while ensuring that each new input is appended on a new line. If you've ever found yourself wondering how to achieve this, you're not alone! We’re here to guide you through the process step by step.

The Problem

You want to collect input from a TextFormField and add each piece of text to a TextField. The goal is to append the new text on a new line, rather than replacing the existing content. This can be particularly useful in chat applications or note-taking tools where continuous input is expected.

Example Scenario

Imagine you have a simple form that allows users to input messages, and you'd like those messages to be displayed in a separate widget. It's crucial that users can see all their previous inputs while still being able to add new ones without losing any information.

The Solution

To implement this functionality, you will need to utilize controllers for both the TextFormField and the TextField. Below, we’ll break down the necessary steps to achieve your required behavior.

Step 1: Set Up Controllers

You’ll need to create two controllers: one for the TextFormField and one for the TextField. Here’s how to set them up:

Step 2: Implement the TextInput Fields

Incorporate these controllers into your TextFormField and TextField as follows:

TextFormField

You would define your TextFormField like this:

TextField

And your TextField would look like this:

Step 3: Append Text on Button Press

Next, when the user presses a button (for example, an "Add" button), you will append the input from the TextFormField to the TextField:

Explanation of the Code

Controllers: These handle the text input and allow you to manipulate fields directly.

Appending Text: The line textFieldController.text = textFieldController.text + textFormFieldController.text + "\n"; effectively appends the current TextFormField text to the TextField, ensuring a new line is created.

Validation: Always validate inputs to ensure only the correct data gets processed.

Conclusion

By following the steps outlined in this post, you can easily collect input from a TextFormField and display it in a TextField—appending each entry on a new line while retaining all previous entries. This technique enhances user interaction in your Flutter applications and can be adapted for various use cases. Happy coding!
