Installation #
Follow the instructions from https://pub.dev/packages/flutter_native_text_input/install
Why you should use this #
Many mobile app users are used to the subtle features provided by the native iOS or Android systems. Even though Flutter provides a lot of useful widgets, many Flutter developers will notice that TextField or CupertinoTextField provided by Flutter are not on par with their native counterpart.

The above shows just one of the missing text editing features in Flutter's TextField, when comparing to the native iOS UITextView. Features like these are especially important if you're building an app that involves a lot of text composition (messaging, editing document, and so on).
To address this, this package simply wraps the native UITextView (and EditText for Android) as a Flutter widget.
Hope you find it useful and happy coding! 🎉🎉🎉
