LengthLimitingTextInputFormatter class

A TextInputFormatter that prevents the insertion of more characters (currently defined as Unicode scalar values) than allowed.

Since this formatter only prevents new characters from being added to the text, it preserves the existing TextEditingValue.selection.

  • maxLength, which discusses the precise meaning of "number of characters" and how it may differ from the intuitive meaning.
