Flutter TextField align

Question

I need to create a TextFormField with decorations - counterText and labelText. I do in this way:

new TextFormField(
  decoration: new InputDecoration(
      counterText: "some text",
      labelText: header),
);

Everything is ok except the fact that I need to move counter text to the left but by the default, it is on the right side. How to change it? I know that there is counterStyle parameter but I have no idea how to use it to achieve moving text to the left.

Solution

It is the helperText property what you are looking for.

Aww you're right! Thank you so much! I have additional question, do you know how to show this helper text only when text field has focus?

Yes sure I can try that! I guess it is better if you open another question because this is a whole different subject.
