Add Search Widget

  • Accepts data list as input
  • Option for getting selected item. Returns selected item or null if item is deleted
onItemSelected: (item) {
    //Do whatever you would like
    setState(() {
       _selectedItem = item;
    });
 },
  • Option for pop list item builder. This basically returns a widget to show as list item in popup
popupListItemBuilder: (LeaderBoard item) {
   return PopupListItem(item);
 }
  • Option for filtering data list based on search query
queryBuilder: (String query, List<LeaderBoard> list) {
   return list.where((LeaderBoard item) => item.username.toLowerCase().contains(query.toLowerCase())).toList();
 }
  • Option provided for selected list item builder which enables when a user selects an item from pop up list
selectedItemBuilder: (LeaderBoard selectedItem, deleteSelectedItem) {
   return SelectedItem(selectedItem,deleteSelectedItem);
 }
  • Option for providing custom TextField. Accepts TextEditingController and FocusNode as parameter
textFieldBuilder: (TextEditingController controller, FocusNode focusNode) {
    return TextField(
        controller: controller,
        focusNode: focusNode,
        //... Other customizations here
       );
  },

Full Implementation

SearchWidget<LeaderBoard>(
   dataList: list,
   hideSearchBoxWhenItemSelected: false,
   listContainerHeight: MediaQuery.of(context).size.height / 4,
   queryBuilder: (String query, List<LeaderBoard> list) {
     return list.where((LeaderBoard item) => item.username.toLowerCase().contains(query.toLowerCase())).toList();
   },
   popupListItemBuilder: (LeaderBoard item) {
     return PopupListItemWidget(item);
   },
   selectedItemBuilder: (LeaderBoard selectedItem, VoidCallback deleteSelectedItem) {
     return SelectedItemWidget(selectedItem, deleteSelectedItem);
   },
   // widget customization
   noItemsFoundWidget: NoItemsFound(),
   textFieldBuilder: (TextEditingController controller, FocusNode focusNode) {
     return MyTextField(controller, focusNode);
   },
 )
