Summary
Add a TextField widget that allows users to input and edit text, enabling form-based interactions within Flitter applications.
Motivation
Text input is one of the most fundamental UI primitives. Without a TextField widget, Flitter cannot support forms, search bars, chat inputs, or any interactive text entry. This is essential for building complete applications.
Proposed Widgets
- TextField — A basic text input widget. Equivalent to Flutter's
TextField.
- TextEditingController — A controller for the text being edited, providing programmatic access to the text value.
- InputDecoration — Styling configuration for the text field (hint text, borders, labels, icons).
Key Considerations
- Cursor rendering and positioning
- Text selection (click, drag, shift+arrow keys)
- Keyboard input handling (including IME/composition for CJK languages)
- Copy/paste support
- Focus management (FocusNode integration)
- Styling: border, hint text, label, prefix/suffix icons
- Multiline support (optional)
- Integration with both SVG and Canvas renderers
- Accessibility considerations
