Constructors

TextSelection({required int baseOffset, required int extentOffset, TextAffinity affinity = TextAffinity.downstream, bool isDirectional = false})
Creates a text selection.
const
TextSelection.collapsed({required int offset, TextAffinity affinity = TextAffinity.downstream})
Creates a collapsed selection at the given offset.
const
TextSelection.fromPosition(TextPosition position)
Creates a collapsed selection at the given text position.

Properties

affinity TextAffinity
If the text range is collapsed and has more than one visual location (e.g., occurs at a line break), which of the two locations to use when painting the caret.
final
base TextPosition
The position at which the selection originates.
read-only
baseOffset int
The offset at which the selection originates.
final
end int
The next index after the characters in this range.
finalinherited
extent TextPosition
The position at which the selection terminates.
read-only
extentOffset int
The offset at which the selection terminates.
final
hashCode int
The hash code for this object.
read-onlyoverride
isCollapsed bool
Whether this range is empty (but still potentially placed inside the text).
read-onlyinherited
isDirectional bool
Whether this selection has disambiguated its base and extent.
final
isNormalized bool
Whether the start of this range precedes the end.
read-onlyinherited
isValid bool
Whether this range represents a valid position in the text.
read-onlyinherited
runtimeType Type
A representation of the runtime type of the object.
read-onlyinherited
start int

Methods

copyWith({int? baseOffset, int? extentOffset, TextAffinity? affinity, bool? isDirectional}) TextSelection
Creates a new TextSelection based on the current selection, with the provided parameters overridden.
expandTo(TextPosition position, [bool extentAtIndex = false]) TextSelection
Returns the smallest TextSelection that this could expand to in order to include the given TextPosition.
extendTo(TextPosition position) TextSelection
Keeping the selection's TextSelection.baseOffset fixed, pivot the TextSelection.extentOffset to the given TextPosition.
noSuchMethod(Invocation invocation) → dynamic
Invoked when a non-existent method or property is accessed.
inherited
textAfter(String text) String
The text after this range.
inherited
textBefore(String text) String
The text before this range.
inherited
textInside(String text) String
