Flutter Form get validity of all form fields without error reporting

Time:12-13

Basically, I am looking for FormFieldState.isValid but for FormState.

So the challenge is that I want to enable/disable my form submit button on the fly depending on whether all the form fields are valid, without calling FormState.validate() until the submit button is actually clicked because that will report errors for the yet invalid fields.

CodePudding user response:

Can you try reseach about AutovalidateMode on FormField ? I think They will some option for this case.

/// Used to configure the auto validation of [FormField] and [Form] widgets.
enum AutovalidateMode {
  /// No auto validation will occur.
  disabled,

  /// Used to auto-validate [Form] and [FormField] even without user interaction.
  always,

  /// Used to auto-validate [Form] and [FormField] only after each user
  /// interaction.
  onUserInteraction,
}

There is package forme 3.2.2 3 that support the async validator. You can specify an asyncValidator on FormeField.

asyncValidator:(field,value,isValid){
    return Future.delayed(const Duration(seconds:2),(){
        if(isUnexceptedValue(value)) {
                if(isValid()){
                updateUI();
            }
            return 'invalid';
        }
        return null;
    });    
}

For more information, you can refer to official documentation on https://pub.dev/packages/forme

Please refer to below code

Solution 1: AutovalidateMode is enabled always

class HomeScreen extends StatelessWidget {
  HomeScreen({Key key}) : super(key: key);

  final TextEditingController addressController = TextEditingController();
  final FocusNode addressFocus = FocusNode();
  final TextEditingController stateController = TextEditingController();
  final FocusNode stateFocus = FocusNode();
  final _validationKey = GlobalKey<FormState>();

  int validateAddress(String address) {
    String patttern = r'(^[a-zA-Z0-9 ,.-]*$)';
    RegExp regExp = new RegExp(patttern);
    if (address.isEmpty || address.length == 0) {
      return 1;
    } else if (address.length < 10) {
      return 3;
    } else {
      return 0;
    }
  }

  int validateState(String state) {
    String patttern = r'(^[a-zA-Z0-9 ,.-]*$)';
    RegExp regExp = new RegExp(patttern);
    if (state.isEmpty || state.length == 0) {
      return 1;
    } else {
      return 0;
    }
  }

Solution 3: Autovalidate can also be used but currently its deprecated

class MainScreen extends StatelessWidget {
  MainScreen({Key key}) : super(key: key);

  final TextEditingController addressController = TextEditingController();
  final FocusNode addressFocus = FocusNode();

  int validateAddress(String address) {
    String patttern = r'(^[a-zA-Z0-9 ,.-]*$)';
    RegExp regExp = new RegExp(patttern);
    if (address.isEmpty || address.length == 0) {
      return 1;
    } else if (address.length < 10) {
      return 3;
    } else {
      return 0;
    }
  }
