How to edit particular digit and change it to new value without deleting other digits?

[Aashutosh3804]

I want user to be able to edit any value in-between that is they should be able to click on particular field and edit it rather than deleting all the previous values to edit that place
How I can achieve this ?

Hi, good idea, but that's not possible with current implementation.

Any workaround you can suggest, to change in library to accomplish it? it will be really helpful just any hint

selected index should return the position of the cursor

Flutter_Pinput/lib/src/pinput_state.dart

Line 68 in 48e7a7a

int get selectedIndex => pin.length;

int get selectedIndex => _effectiveController.selection.baseOffset;

And when you tap on individual boxes you have to change the cursor position respectively

_effectiveController.selection = TextSelection.fromPosition(TextPosition(offset: tappedPinIndex));

TextSelection.fromPosition(TextPosition(offset: tappedPinIndex));

Thank you very much for such prompt reply
just one last thing tappedPinIndex how would I get that as in _semanticsOnTap I did'nt get any index

_effectiveController.selection = TextSelection.fromPosition(TextPosition(offset: tappedPinIndex));

this line should changed in _semanticsOnTap right ? just tell me how to get the tapped index

Nope, you should add onTap callback in _PinItem with GestureDetector

Flutter_Pinput/lib/src/pinput_state.dart

Line 456 in 48e7a7a

return _PinItem(state: this, index: index);

Its not working. Firstly I want to be able to select any field and change its value. So when its empty it showing error as there no text yet written.
Is there a way to do that

What I wrote was not the whole solution, just the way I imagined implementing it, I will to add the feature ASAP, but can't tell you the deadline RN.

Update:
Just tried it a bit and I can say it will introduce new problems to solve, so it's not an easy feature to add

Oh ok , thanks for trying will think of different way

Any update on this feature? @Tkko ?

[Tkko]

@nicks258 Nothing so far, my weekends are pretty busy these days 🫢, If anyone is available to implement this feature I'd be happy review and merge the PR

[Ssiswent]

How about now? Thanks.@Tkko
