how can i confirm password using formz in flutter

Question

When I want to confirm my password, but i can not compare the first and last passwords.

Here my password class. It works fine, but confirmPassword section not.

class Password extends FormzInput<String, PasswordValidationError> {
  const Password.pure() : super.pure('');
  const Password.dirty([String value = '']) : super.dirty(value);

  static final _passwordRegExp = RegExp(r'^[A-Za-z\d@$!%*?&]{8,}$');

  @override
  PasswordValidationError? validator(String value) {
    if (value.isEmpty) {
      return PasswordValidationError.empty;
    }
    return _passwordRegExp.hasMatch(value)
        ? null
        : PasswordValidationError.invalid;
  }
}

You can ask what is the value in validator. Let me show you.

  void passwordChanged(String value) {
    final password = Password.dirty(value);
    emit(state.copyWith(
      password: password,
      status: Formz.validate(
          [state.name, state.email, password, state.confirmPassword]),
    ));
  }

This is my normal password field. Now let's look confirm section.

class ConfirmPassword
    extends FormzInput<String, ConfirmedPasswordValidationError> {
  const ConfirmPassword.pure() : super.pure('');
  const ConfirmPassword.dirty([String value = '']) : super.dirty(value);

  static final _confirmPasswordRegExp = RegExp(r'^[A-Za-z\d@$!%*?&]{8,}$');
  
  @override
  ConfirmedPasswordValidationError? validator(String value) {
    if (value.isEmpty) {
      return ConfirmedPasswordValidationError.empty;
    } else if (!_confirmPasswordRegExp.hasMatch(value)) {
      return ConfirmedPasswordValidationError.invalid;
    }
    return (password**I mentioned here** == value)
        ? null
        : ConfirmedPasswordValidationError.mismatch;
  }
}

and value in validator:

  void confirmPasswordChanged(String value) {
    final confirmPassword =
        ConfirmPassword.dirty(value);
    emit(state.copyWith(
      confirmPassword:
          state.password.valid ? confirmPassword : const ConfirmPassword.pure(),
      status: Formz.validate(
          [state.name, state.email, state.password, confirmPassword]),
    ));
  }

How can i reach the first (normal) value field in confirmPassword section? Or Is there any way to the use with formz?

Answer 1

Eng Mghase answer is correct

I have added the update of the confirmed password state on password update :

void _onPasswordChanged(
      SignupPasswordChanged event,
      Emitter<SignupState> emit,
    ) {
      final password = Password.dirty(event.password);
      final confirmPassword = ConfirmedPassword.dirty(password: password.value, value: state.confirmPassword.value);
      emit(state.copyWith(
        password: password,
        confirmPassword: confirmPassword,
        status: Formz.validate([password, confirmPassword, state.username]),
    ));
  }

Answer 2

This is a validator

 import 'package:formz/formz.dart';

enum ConfirmedPasswordValidationError {
  invalid,
  mismatch,
}

class ConfirmedPassword extends FormzInput<String, ConfirmedPasswordValidationError> {
  final String password;

  const ConfirmedPassword.pure({
    this.password = ''
  }) : super.pure('');

  const ConfirmedPassword.dirty({
    required this.password,
    String value = ''
  }) : super.dirty(value);

  @override
  ConfirmedPasswordValidationError? validator(String value) {
    if (value.isEmpty) {
      return ConfirmedPasswordValidationError.invalid;
    }
    return password == value
        ? null
        : ConfirmedPasswordValidationError.mismatch;
  }
}

extension Explanation on ConfirmedPasswordValidationError {
  String? get name {
    switch(this) {
      case ConfirmedPasswordValidationError.mismatch:
        return 'passwords must match';
      default:
        return null;
    }
  }
}

state management func bloc

  void _passwordConfirmationChanged(PasswordConfirmationChangede,Emitter<SignUpFormState> emit){
    final confirmedPassword = ConfirmedPassword.dirty(
      password: state.password.value,
      value: e.passwordConfirmStr,
    );
    emit(state.copyWith(
      confirmedPassword: confirmedPassword,
      status: Formz.validate([
        state.email,
        state.password,
        confirmedPassword,
      ]),
    ));
  }

Widget class

class _ConfirmPasswordInput extends StatelessWidget {
  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return BlocBuilder<SignUpFormBloc, SignUpFormState>(
      buildWhen: (previous, current) =>
          previous.password != current.password ||
          previous.confirmedPassword != current.confirmedPassword,
      builder: (context, state) {
        return TextField(
          key: const Key('signUpForm_confirmedPasswordInput_textField'),
          onChanged: (confirmPassword) => context.read<SignUpFormBloc>()
            .add(SignUpFormEvent.passwordConfirmationChanged(confirmPassword)),
          obscureText: true,
          decoration: InputDecoration(
            labelText: 'confirm password',
            helperText: '',
            errorText: state.confirmedPassword.invalid
                ? 'passwords do not match'
                : null,
          ),
        );
      },
    );
  }
}
