My Validation of TextFormField Form using flutter is not working?

Time:10-17

This part of the project is for the feedback page.

I am building this part in our project I manage to connect it to Firestore but the validation is not working I read the flutter docs to no avail I did not manage to make it work. Do I really need a global key? Is my code to connect to Firestore wrong?

import 'package:cloud_firestore/cloud_firestore.dart';
import 'package:flutter/material.dart';

class SimpleDialog extends StatelessWidget {
  // ignore: prefer_typing_uninitialized_variables
  final title;
  const SimpleDialog(this.title, {super.key});

  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return AlertDialog(
      title: const Text('Alert'),
      content: Text(title),
      actions: [
        TextButton(
            onPressed: () {
              Navigator.of(context).pop();
            },
            child: const Text('OK'))
      ],
    );
  }
}

class FeedbackPage extends StatefulWidget {
  const FeedbackPage({super.key});

  @override
  State<FeedbackPage> createState() => _FeedbackPageState();
}

class _FeedbackPageState extends State<FeedbackPage> {
  final nameOfuser = TextEditingController();
  final emailOfuser = TextEditingController();
  final messageOfuser = TextEditingController();
  

  List<bool> isTypeSelected = [false, false, false, true, true];
  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return Scaffold(

CodePudding user response:

You can wrap with Form widget to validate it and use a Global key to validate it.

final _formKey = GlobalKey<FormState>();
Padding(
  padding: const EdgeInsets.symmetric(horizontal: 32.0),
  child: Form(
    key: _formKey,
    child: Column(
      children: <Widget>[
        const SizedBox(height: 16.0),

You can also pass the key using FeedbackPage constructor.

And check like

final bool isValdded = _formKey.currentState?.validate() ?? false;
if (isValdded) {
  ScaffoldMessenger.of(context).showSnackBar(
    const SnackBar(content: Text(' valid')),
  );
}

You can find more about /validation

CodePudding user response:

First you need Form widget, so wrap your padding with one second you need pass it GlobalKey<FormState>, so define one like this:

final _formKey = GlobalKey<FormState>();

then do this:

Form(
  key: _formKey
  child: Padding(
                padding: const EdgeInsets.symmetric(horizontal: 32.0),
                child: Column(
                  children: <Widget>[
                    const SizedBox(height: 16.0),
                 ....
)

lastly on your Submit button do this:

MaterialButton(
      height: 50.0,
      minWidth: double.infinity,
      color: const Color.fromRGBO(102, 204, 102, 1.0),
      onPressed:  _formKey.currentState != null &&
                          _formKey.currentState.validate()
                      ?() {
                    showDialog(
                        context: context,
                        builder: (BuildContext context) {
                          return const SimpleDialog('Feedback Submitted');
                        });
                    Map<String, dynamic> data = {
                      "Name": nameOfuser.text,
                      "Email": emailOfuser.text,
                      "Message": messageOfuser.text,
                      "Time": FieldValue.serverTimestamp(),
                    };
                    setState(() {
                      nameOfuser.clear();
                      emailOfuser.clear();
                      messageOfuser.clear();
                    });
                    FirebaseFirestore.instance
                        .collection("FeedbackMessages")
                        .add(data);
                  }: null
)
