TextAllCaps in Text() widget of Flutter?

Question

As we are having android:textAllCaps="true" feature in Android's Textview, how can we give this same feature in Text() Widget of Flutter?

I know Text('Abc'.toUpperCase()), is one way but I don't want to do it manually. Is there any property of Text() widget that converts it automatically or any widget that has similar property?

by this we are manually converting the string to uppercase, Is there any property of text which converts it automatically or any widget which property and is similar as Text()? — Gaurang Goda, Apr 12 '19 at 15:05
Sorry `Text` doesn't allow that however there is `TextField` aka `EditText` in Android, which has capitalisation property. — CopsOnRoad, Apr 12 '19 at 15:06
@CopsOnRoad thanks for sharing it, but that answer does not work. — Gaurang Goda, Apr 12 '19 at 15:06
Yes, that's not the answer, I just wanted to let you know there is no way of doing it in `Text`. — CopsOnRoad, Apr 12 '19 at 15:07
@Eugene nothing is wrong I am finding a shorter and common way by which we can make a common Text() widget for all. — Gaurang Goda, Apr 12 '19 at 15:24

(EDITED) My solution is like this:

Text("apple".toUpperCase())

Returns:

APPLE

textAllCaps property in android xml converts all the text to capital letter not the first one. – Atul Chaudhary Mar 09 '21 at 14:39
Wrong answer, capitalizes only first letter of the word. – campovski Mar 29 '21 at 19:14

Use following function for the First word as Caps

String getCapitalizeString({String str}) {
    if (str.length <= 1) { return str.toUpperCase(); }
    return '${str[0].toUpperCase()}${str.substring(1)}';
}

Use :

Text(this.getCapitalizeString(str: listObj[position]);

Seems that OP provided the best approach so far in his original question: just use `Text('Abc'.toUpperCase())` – Kirill Karmazin Dec 19 '19 at 19:32
That isn't what the question asked for it asked how to make the entire word capitalized. – Ben Nov 25 '20 at 18:23

To capitalize the text like this: "this is only a example" to this "This Is Only A Example",

use this function:

firstCharacterUpper(String text) {
    List arrayPieces = List();

    String outPut = '';

    text = 'this is only a example'; // This is not necessary, is only for the example. The text here is that one is passed in parameter.

    text.split(' ').forEach((sepparetedWord) {
      arrayPieces.add(sepparetedWord);
    });

    arrayPieces.forEach((word) {
      word =
          "${word[0].toString().toUpperCase()}${word.toString().substring(1)} ";
      outPut += word;
    });

    return outPut;
}

OutPut: 'This Is Only A Example'.

@campovski Maybe your text has only one word. – André Felipe Apr 07 '21 at 12:09
I guess you meant my words only have one letter ... – campovski Apr 07 '21 at 13:58

just to simplify the function of the answers before

String getCapitalizeString(String str) {
  String cRet = '';
  str.split(' ').forEach((word) {
    cRet += "${word[0].toUpperCase()}${word.substring(1).toLowerCase()} ";
  });
  return cRet.trim();
}
