TextInputFormatter class

A TextInputFormatter can be optionally injected into an EditableText to provide as-you-type validation and formatting of the text being edited.

Text modification should only be applied when text is being committed by the IME and not on text under composition (i.e., only when TextEditingValue.composing is collapsed).

Concrete implementations BlacklistingTextInputFormatter, which removes blacklisted characters upon edit commit, and WhitelistingTextInputFormatter, which only allows entries of whitelisted characters, are provided.

To create custom formatters, extend the TextInputFormatter class and implement the formatEditUpdate method.
