How to put a var instead of a string in Email Validation package

Question

I need to put a var in the string place in email validator:

var email;

void validation(){
bool emailvalidated = EmailValidator.validate(email);
if (emailvalidated) {
print('object');
}
}

but it throw me this error : Invalid arguments: email. Help!!

Answer 1

You are getting the error because the validate method needs a string.

Replace your code with the one below: It works perfectly well:

// change your email variable to a have a default string
var email = 'youremail.com';

void validation(){
bool emailvalidated = EmailValidator.validate(email);
if (emailvalidated) {
print('object');
}
}

I hope it helps.

Add the variables below to your class:

 // define a controller to assign to your custom text field
  TextEditingController emailEditingController = TextEditingController();

 // declare the email variable here
  String email;

Replace your emailTextFormField widget with the one below:

 Widget emailTextFormField() {
    return CustomTextField(
      // assign your email controller to the custom text field here
      textEditingController: emailEditingController,
      keyboardType: TextInputType.emailAddress,
      icon: Icons.email,
      hint: "Email ID",
      textEditingController: email,
    );
  }

Replace this with your validation function

 void validation() {
// email should be instantiated here
  email = emailEditingController.text;
    bool emailvalidated = EmailValidator.validate(email);
    if (emailvalidated) {
      print('Email validated');
    } else{
      print('email not validated');
     }
  }

I hope this helps.
