[MaheshManoharan]

How to set hint text zefyr, I already put the question in Reddit and StackOverflow. but no one answers. So tell me please

[singerdmx]

Do you mean placeholder, similar to singerdmx/flutter-quill#11 ?

[singerdmx]

Can you share Reddit and StackOverflow links?

[singerdmx]

@MaheshManoharan I have a change that gets most working. Needs final touch

here is the links

[MaheshManoharan]

yes...just like placeholder... users need to know what to do in that textfield. I don't know how to do it in zefyrEditor please help me.

[MaheshManoharan]

@singerdmx I know you did something, just like passing placeholder. But as a beginner in programming and github I don't know what to do now. Could you please say What I want to do now to get placeholder or hint text functionality?

[singerdmx]

@MaheshManoharan OK, my change is done now. I tested it on my phone and it is working.
All you need to do is this:

[MaheshManoharan]

@singerdmx A little bit doubt again... I am using ZefyrEditor, But you showed me in QuillEditor

[singerdmx]

I don't think Zefyr is accepting pull request.
And this change is for https://pub.dev/packages/flutter_quill
I will submit my change once my team mate verifies the change is working.

[MaheshManoharan]

I saw your package. It's nice, I will comment after check it out. Thank you for your response.

[MaheshManoharan]

I checked your example, but it shows just a white blank screen based on pub

[singerdmx]

@MaheshManoharan the change is not checked in yet. Please wait until my team mate @li3317 verifies the change.
Then we will bump the version

[MaheshManoharan]

@singerdmx could you please inform me, when it's over.

[singerdmx]

@li3317 will update this thread here once it is in and let you know how to use placeholder with details

[li3317]

Hi @MaheshManoharan Sorry about the delay! The change is now available on at https://pub.dev/packages/flutter_quill! Here's an example of how it looks.

[MaheshManoharan]

@li3317 , @singerdmx Thank you both. I will comment after checking out.

[MaheshManoharan]

@li3317 , @singerdmx No change, it just shows a blank screen. I have just used the code in pub example.

[singerdmx]

Did you add anything here?

[MaheshManoharan]

@singerdmx no I can't add placeholder, because it just shows a white blank screen. I haven't added it yet. just used this example code in https://pub.dev/packages/flutter_quill/example

[MaheshManoharan]

@singerdmx
how did you upload the image? I can post my screenshot.

[li3317]

New version with placeholder support is published! (By the way I dragged and dropped the screenshot into text box here)

[MaheshManoharan]

@li3317 it shows awaiting...

[MaheshManoharan]

I got above screen - blank white screen

[singerdmx]

Paste your code

[singerdmx]

Also can you try to run the code in https://github.com/singerdmx/flutter-quill/tree/stable/app and let us know what you see?

[MaheshManoharan]

`import 'dart:async';
import 'dart:io';

import 'package:flutter/material.dart';
import 'package:flutter_quill/widgets/controller.dart';
import 'package:flutter_quill/widgets/editor.dart';
import 'package:flutter_quill/widgets/toolbar.dart';

void main() => MaterialApp(home: HomePage());

class HomePage extends StatefulWidget {
@OverRide
_HomePageState createState() => _HomePageState();
}

class _HomePageState extends State {
QuillController _controller = QuillController.basic();

@OverRide
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
return Scaffold(
body: Column(
children: [
QuillToolbar.basic(
controller: _controller, uploadFileCallback: _uploadImageCallBack),
Expanded(
child: Container(
child: QuillEditor.basic(
controller: _controller,
readOnly: false, // change to true to be view only mode
),
),
)
],
));
}

Future _uploadImageCallBack(File file) async {
// call upload file API and return file's absolute url
return new Completer().future;
}
}

please read REAME

Please follow https://github.com/singerdmx/flutter-quill/blob/stable/app/lib/pages/home_page.dart

[MaheshManoharan]

@singerdmx oh..my bad. I have been using zefyr, now I have changed my mind to use flutter-quill, Your response is the best. Thank you, guys. You are so supportive. flutter-quill/stable app code is working fine. Is there any doubt or question, should I comment here. As a beginner, I don't know what to talk about.

[singerdmx]

@MaheshManoharan for issues regarding https://pub.dev/packages/flutter_quill , please create issue under https://github.com/singerdmx/flutter-quill/issues

We were using Zefyr until we found it uses custom delta format that is incompatible with quilljs https://quilljs.com/docs/formats

Also lack of support is one of the reasons as well.

[MaheshManoharan]

@singerdmx okay.. is it free to use in commercial projects?

[singerdmx]

Sure, we don't care how you use it as long as it helps you

[MaheshManoharan]

@singerdmx cool...

[cgestes]

@singerdmx wrong bug tracker. Please keep your project related discussion in your project.

Still its ok to mention your project here, especially as inspiration to how to do thinks. :)
