easy_forms_validation

easy_forms_validation is a Dart library that allows for easy separation of form validation logic from the UI layer in Flutter applications. It provides a simple and modular way to validate form data and manage form field validation state, making your code more maintainable and organized.

FormPart

FormPart represents a part of the form that can be validated. It can be a field, a group of fields, or a whole form.

To validate any form part use bool validate() method.

FormControllerMixin

FormControllerMixin is a FormPart that represent a form built from fields or other forms. It is responsible to perform validation on every its field.

Example:

enum EmailValidationError { invalidFormat, alreadyUsed }

enum PasswordValidationError { tooShort }

class LoginForm with FormControllerMixin {
  final email = TextFieldController(
    initialValue: '',
    validator: (value, _) {
      if (value.isEmpty || !value.contains('@')) {
        return EmailValidationError.invalidFormat;
      }
      return null;
    },
  );
  final password = TextFieldController(
    initialValue: '',
    validator: (value, _) {
      if (value.length < 6) {
        return PasswordValidationError.tooShort;
      }
      return null;
    },
  );

  final consent = BoolFieldController();

  @override
  List<FormPart<FormPartState>> get fields => [email, password, consent];
}

FieldController

FieldController is a FormPart that represents a field in a form.

Predefined types of field controllers:

• TextFieldController - use it with TextFieldBuilder that is used to control text field widget
• BoolFieldController - use it when field value is type of bool
• SelectFieldController - use it for fields that has predefined options, eg. dropdown
• MultiSelectFieldController - use it for fields that enables to select multiple predefined options

Extensions

These mixins doesn't need to be a mixin on FormControllerMixin. They all require to implement FormController get form getter.

• FormValueMixin - use it when you want to represent whole validated form as single value (object).
• SubmitFormMixin - use it with you want to add submit logic to the form
