Input widgets

The currently supported fields include:

• FormBuilderChipsInput - Takes a list of Chips as input and suggests more options on typing
• FormBuilderColorPicker - For Color input selection
• FormBuilderCupertinoDateTimePicker - For Date, Time and DateTime input using a Cupertino-style picker
• FormBuilderRating - For selection of a numerical value as a rating
• FormBuilderSearchableDropdown - Field for selecting value(s) from a searchable list
• FormBuilderSignaturePad - Field with drawing pad on which user can doodle
• FormBuilderTouchSpin - Selection of a number by tapping on a plus or minus icon
• FormBuilderTypeAhead - Auto-completes user input from a list of items

In order to create an input field in the form, along with the label, and any applicable validation, there are several attributes that are supported by all types of inputs namely:

Attribute	Type	Default	Required	Description
name	String		Yes	This will form the key in the form value Map
initialValue	T	null	No	The initial value of the input field
enabled	bool	true	No	Determines whether the field widget will accept user input.
decoration	InputDecoration	InputDecoration()	No	Defines the border, labels, icons, and styles used to decorate the field.
validator	FormFieldValidator<T>	null	No	A FormFieldValidator that will check the validity of value in the FormField
onChanged	ValueChanged<T>	null	No	This event function will fire immediately the the field value changes
valueTransformer	ValueTransformer<T>	null	No	Function that transforms field value before saving to form value. e.g. transform TextField value for numeric field from String to num
The rest of the attributes will be determined by the type of Widget being used.
