Add `dense` property to `TextField` and `Dropdown` controls

[miguelagve]

Hello, I'm trying to develop a simple desktop application with multiple TextField objects. The default dimensions are much taller that what I'm looking for, and as far as I can tell from Flutter documentation, the best way to modify this is changing the decoration property of the TextField, that takes an InputDecoration.

Could this class implemented in flet, as well as the corresponding property to use it?

I wonder if there's any workaround to achieve this effect at the moment.

Thank you

Thanks for trying Flet!

InputDecoration is flattened into multiple properties in Dropdown and TextField. Which properties are you missing?

[miguelagve]

As far as I can tell, a combination of isDense and contentPadding would do the job.

I've just realized that TextField in Flet contains the property content_padding but, while it allows me to increase the height, it doesn't manage to decrease it any further than default no matter the value I use.

Yep, content_padding corresponds to that property.

So, I'm going to add isDense property then.

Thank you very much!
I've submitted a pull reques to update the documentation about this property (flet-dev/website#81)

I've had the chance to give it a try and it does exactly what I wanted. Many thanks!!
