Country Picker Enterprise #

⚠️ DEPRECATED: This package is no longer maintained. Please use country_search instead.

Why the change? The new country_search package provides:

• 🚀 4.7x faster search performance (~110 microseconds per query)
• 🌐 10 languages (vs 8 in this package)
• ⚡ Lightweight components instead of heavy Material widgets
• 📱 Weak device optimization for smooth performance on low-end devices
• 🎨 Better UI/UX with modern design patterns
• 🔧 Active development and regular updates

Migration is easy - the API is very similar. Just replace country_picker_enterprise with country_search in your pubspec.yaml and update your imports.

Enterprise-grade country picker widget for Flutter with multi-language support, phone codes, and automatic country detection.

📦 Installation #

dependencies:
  country_picker_enterprise: ^1.0.0

🚀 Usage #

Basic Usage #

import 'package:country_picker_enterprise/country_picker_enterprise.dart';

CountryPicker(
  selectedCountry: selectedCountry,
  onCountrySelected: (Country country) {
    setState(() {
      selectedCountry = country;
    });
  },
)

// That's it! The widget works out of the box with sensible defaults:
// ✅ Auto-detection of user's country
// ✅ Search functionality
// ✅ Continent filtering
// ✅ Popular countries section
// ✅ Phone codes and flags
// ✅ Multi-language support
// ✅ RTL support for Arabic
// ✅ High performance optimizations

Disable Auto Detection #

CountryPicker(
  selectedCountry: selectedCountry,
  onCountrySelected: (Country country) {
    setState(() {
      selectedCountry = country;
    });
  },
  // Disable auto-detection if not needed
  autoDetectCountry: false,
)

Manual Country Detection #

// Detect country by IP address
Country? country = await CountryData.getCountryByIP();

// Detect country by device locale
Country? country = CountryData.getCountryByLocale(Platform.localeName);

// Auto-detect using multiple methods
Country? country = await CountryData.autoDetectCountry();

Chinese Language Example #

// Set up Chinese localization
MaterialApp(
  localizationsDelegates: [
    CountryLocalizations.delegate,
  ],
  supportedLocales: [
    const Locale('zh'), // Chinese
  ],
  home: CountryPicker(
    selectedCountry: selectedCountry,
    onCountrySelected: (Country country) {
      setState(() {
        selectedCountry = country;
      });
    },
  ),
)

// Chinese UI will show:
// - "选择国家" (Select Country)
// - "搜索国家..." (Search country...)
// - "选择您的国家" (Select your country)
// - "热门" (Popular)
// - Country names in Chinese (e.g., "中国", "美国", "俄罗斯")
// - Continent names in Chinese (e.g., "亚洲", "欧洲", "美洲")

### Arabic Language Example

```dart
// Set up Arabic localization
MaterialApp(
  localizationsDelegates: [
    CountryLocalizations.delegate,
  ],
  supportedLocales: [
    const Locale('ar'), // Arabic
  ],
  home: CountryPicker(
    selectedCountry: selectedCountry,
    onCountrySelected: (Country country) {
      setState(() {
        selectedCountry = country;
      });
    },
  ),
)

// Arabic UI will show:
// - "اختر البلد" (Select Country)
// - "البحث عن بلد..." (Search country...)
// - "اختر بلدك" (Select your country)
// - "شائع" (Popular)
// - Country names in Arabic (e.g., "مصر", "السعودية", "الإمارات")
// - Continent names in Arabic (e.g., "أفريقيا", "آسيا", "أوروبا")
// - Full RTL (Right-to-Left) support with proper text alignment and icon positioning

Localization Setup #

With Localization Support

MaterialApp(
  localizationsDelegates: [
    CountryLocalizations.delegate,
    // ... other delegates
  ],
  supportedLocales: [
    const Locale('en'),    // English
    const Locale('es'),    // Spanish
    const Locale('fr'),    // French
    const Locale('de'),    // German
    const Locale('zh'),    // Chinese
    const Locale('ru'),    // Russian
    const Locale('pt'),    // Portuguese
    const Locale('ar'),    // Arabic
  ],
)

Without Localization Setup (Fallback to English)

If you don't add CountryLocalizations.delegate to your localizationsDelegates, the library will automatically fallback to English:

MaterialApp(
  localizationsDelegates: [
    // CountryLocalizations.delegate, // Not added - will fallback to English
    // ... other delegates
  ],
  supportedLocales: [
    const Locale('en'),    // English
    // ... other locales
  ],
)

The library will automatically detect if the delegate is missing and use English as the default language.

Supported Languages #

The library supports 8 languages with complete translations:

• 🇺🇸 English - Default language
• 🇪🇸 Spanish - Español
• 🇫🇷 French - Français
• 🇩🇪 German - Deutsch
• 🇨🇳 Chinese - 中文 (Simplified Chinese)
• 🇷🇺 Russian - Русский
• 🇵🇹 Portuguese - Português
• 🇸🇦 Arabic - العربية

All country names, UI text, and continent names are fully translated in each supported language.

📚 API #

CountryPicker #

Country #

class Country {
  final String code;           // ISO code (e.g., 'US', 'RU')
  final String flag;           // Country flag (e.g., '🇺🇸', '🇷🇺')
  final String phoneCode;      // Phone code (e.g., '+1', '+7')
  final Continent? continent;  // Continent (e.g., Continent.northAmerica, Continent.europe)
}

Continent Filtering #

Filter countries by continent with population-based sorting:

// Get countries by continent
List<Country> europeanCountries = CountryData.getCountriesByContinent(Continent.europe);

// Search by continent name
List<Country> asianCountries = CountryData.searchByContinent('asia');

// Get all available continents (sorted by population)
List<Continent> continents = CountryData.getAvailableContinents();
// Returns: [Continent.asia, Continent.africa, Continent.northAmerica, Continent.southAmerica, Continent.europe, Continent.oceania, Continent.antarctica]

Continent Enum #

enum Continent {
  europe,        // Europe
  asia,          // Asia
  africa,        // Africa
  northAmerica,  // North America
  southAmerica,  // South America
  oceania,       // Oceania
  antarctica,    // Antarctica
}

RTL (Right-to-Left) Support #

The library fully supports RTL languages like Arabic:

// RTL support is automatically enabled for Arabic locale
MaterialApp(
  localizationsDelegates: [
    CountryLocalizations.delegate,
  ],
  supportedLocales: [
    const Locale('ar'), // Arabic with RTL support
  ],
)

// RTL features include:
// ✅ Text alignment (right-to-left)
// ✅ Icon positioning (search icon on right, clear on left)
// ✅ Proper text direction for Arabic content
// ✅ Correct arrow direction for dropdown

Popular Countries #

Get the 8 most popular countries for quick access:

// Get popular countries (US, GB, DE, FR, CA, AU, JP, CN)
List<Country> popularCountries = CountryData.getPopularCountries();

// Popular countries are automatically shown in the "All" section
// when no continent filter is selected and no search is active.
// Popular countries also appear in the main alphabetical list for easy access.
// Note: Popular countries are duplicated in both sections for better UX.
// This ensures users can find popular countries both in the dedicated section
// and in the main alphabetical list.

Country Search #

// Search by code
Country? country = CountryData.getCountryByCode('US');

// Search by phone code
Country? country = CountryData.getCountryByPhoneCode('+1');

// Search by name, code, or phone code
List<Country> results = CountryData.searchCountries(
  'russia',
  (code) => CountryLocalizations.of(context).getCountryName(code)
);

// Search by phone code only
List<Country> results = CountryData.searchByPhoneCode('+1');

// Get countries by continent
List<Country> europeanCountries = CountryData.getCountriesByContinent(Continent.europe);

// Search by continent name
List<Country> results = CountryData.searchByContinent('europe');

// Get all available continents
List<Continent> continents = CountryData.getAvailableContinents();

Performance Optimizations #

The library includes several performance optimizations:

Cached Data

• Country Lookup: O(1) lookup using cached Map instead of O(n) search
• Continent Filtering: Pre-built continent-to-countries mapping
• Search Results: Cached search results per language and query

Lazy Loading

• ListView Optimization: Only visible items are rendered
• Memory Efficient: Automatic disposal of off-screen widgets
• Smooth Scrolling: Optimized ListView with disabled unnecessary features

Search Optimization

• Indexed Search: Fast search using cached results
• Language-Aware Caching: Separate cache per language
• Smart Cache Management: Automatic cache clearing on language change

// Performance optimized methods
List<Country> cachedCountries = CountryData.cachedCountries; // O(1) access
Country? country = CountryData.getCountryByCode('US'); // O(1) lookup
List<Country> europeanCountries = CountryData.getCountriesByContinent(Continent.europe); // O(1) access

// Clear cache when language changes
CountryData.clearSearchCache();

🔧 Customization & Feature Control #

Disable Features (if not needed) #

You can disable any feature using widget parameters:

CountryPicker(
  selectedCountry: selectedCountry,
  onCountrySelected: (Country country) {
    setState(() {
      selectedCountry = country;
    });
  },
  enableSearch: false,           // Disable search functionality
  showPhoneCodes: false,         // Hide phone codes
  showFlags: false,              // Hide country flags
  enableContinentFilter: false,  // Disable continent filtering
)

Remove Unused Languages #

To reduce package size, remove language files you don't need:

# Remove unused language files
rm lib/src/flutter_country_picker/localizations/country_localizations_es.dart
rm lib/src/flutter_country_picker/localizations/country_localizations_fr.dart
rm lib/src/flutter_country_picker/localizations/country_localizations_ru.dart

Then update country_localizations.dart:

CountryLocalizations lookupCountryLocalizations(Locale locale) {
  switch (locale.languageCode) {
    case 'en':
      return CountryLocalizationsEn();
    // Remove cases for deleted languages
    // case 'es': return CountryLocalizationsEs();
    // case 'fr': return CountryLocalizationsFr();
    // case 'ru': return CountryLocalizationsRu();
  }
  return CountryLocalizationsEn(); // Fallback to English
}

Custom Country List #

Create your own country list with only needed countries:

// Custom country list
final myCountries = [
  Country(code: 'US', flag: '🇺🇸', phoneCode: '+1'),
  Country(code: 'CA', flag: '🇨🇦', phoneCode: '+1'),
  Country(code: 'GB', flag: '🇬🇧', phoneCode: '+44'),
  // ... only countries you need
];

// Use in your custom picker
List<Country> filteredCountries = myCountries.where((country) => 
  country.code.toLowerCase().contains(query.toLowerCase())
).toList();

Disable Search Functionality #

If you don't need search, create a simple picker:

// Simple country list without search
ListView.builder(
  itemCount: CountryData.countries.length,
  itemBuilder: (context, index) {
    final country = CountryData.countries[index];
    return ListTile(
      leading: Text(country.flag),
      title: Text(CountryLocalizations.of(context).getCountryName(country.code)),
      subtitle: Text(country.code),
      onTap: () => onCountrySelected(country),
    );
  },
)

Custom Display Format #

Control how countries are displayed:

// Custom display without phone codes
ListTile(
  leading: Text(country.flag),
  title: Text(countryName),
  subtitle: Text(country.code), // Only code, no phone
  onTap: () => onCountrySelected(country),
)

// Custom display with only phone codes
ListTile(
  leading: Text(country.flag),
  title: Text(countryName),
  subtitle: Text(country.phoneCode), // Only phone code
  onTap: () => onCountrySelected(country),
)
