flutter_text_drawable

A flutter package that gives you the flexibility to create and customize text user avatars like Gmail and Contacts. It also provides a TextDrawableListTile widget which wraps around the material ListTile widget to provide easy control when using TextDrawable with a ListTile.

Basic Usage

Simply add the TextDrawable to your widget tree like so:

TextDrawable(
  text: "Some Text",
)

Respond to Tap Events (Like Gmail)

TextDrawable widget has an option to receive tap events and switch between the text being displayed and a checked icon.
Just set isTappable = true.
If you wish to receive a callback when the widget is tapped, pass in a function which accepts a bool to the onTapproperty.

TextDrawable(
  text: "$index",
  isTappable: true,
  onTap: (val) {
    print("$index selected: $val");
  },
  boxShape: BoxShape.rectangle,
  borderRadius: BorderRadius.circular(8),
),

TextDrawableListTile usage

The TextDrawableListTile requires to parameters for a minimal usage – drawableText (String) and title(Widget). It supports all the params of the material ListTile widgets. The leading TextDrawable text animates into a check icon when tile is longPressed.
When selected = true, long press events will not have any effect.

Can be used like so:

ListView.builder(
  itemCount: 3,
  itemBuilder: (context, index) {
    return TextDrawableListTile(
      drawableText: "$index",
      title: Text("$index"),
    );
  },
)
