Flutter: Submit TextFormField on Enter

Time:05-08

I'm working on a desktop application for Windows with Flutter. I want to listen to keyboard keys. I made a Login page and it has two TextFormFields, (one for Username and the other for Password). When I press the 'enter' key on the keyboard, I want the form to be submitted as I pressed on 'Login' button. So if I pressed the 'enter' key from either Username or Password text fields, I want the app to act exactly as if I pressed the 'Login' Button.

Here is a picture of the Login Page: --> Login Page

Here is the code of Login Page:

import 'package:flutter/material.dart';
import '../../api/services/login_services.dart';
import '../../api/models/login_models.dart';
import '../../constants/constant_methods.dart';
import '../main_page/main_screen.dart';
import '../../constants/constant_variables.dart';

class LoginPage extends StatefulWidget {
  const LoginPage({Key? key}) : super(key: key);

  @override
  _LoginPageState createState() => _LoginPageState();
}

class _LoginPageState extends State<LoginPage> {
TextEditingController usernameController = TextEditingController();
TextEditingController passwordController = TextEditingController();
late LoginRequestModel loginRequestModel;
bool isUsernameEmpty = false;
bool isPasswordEmpty = false;
bool secure = true;
bool notSecure = false;
bool isLoading = false;

@override
void initState() {
  super.initState();
  loginRequestModel = LoginRequestModel(
    usernameController.text,
    passwordController.text,
  );
}

CodePudding user response:

Add the field onFieldSubmitted and a FormKey:

// Widget attribute

final _formKey = GlobalKey<FormState>();


// Widget method: build()

Form(
  key: _formKey,
  child:
  TextFormField(
    onFieldSubmitted: (value) {
     
      print('ENTER pressed'); 

      // Will trigger validation for ALL fields in Form.
      // All your TextFormFields (email, password) share
      // the SAME Form and thus the SAME _formKey.

      if (_formKey.currentState!.validate()) { 

        print('ALL FIELDS ARE VALID, GO ON ...');

      }
    }
  )
