How to remove empty lines in TextField/TextFormField in Flutter?

is it possible to remove empty lines in TextField/TextFormField? After typing some input I type shift+enter to create some new empty lines, and then my controller takes all these empty lines.

    Get the string from textfield. Let’s call this string s and then just do s.trimRight() to automatically delete all empty spaces from the right side. Similarly you can do s.trimLeft() to delete empty spaces from the left.

    There are two places you would want to deny whitespaces.

    1.While Input is entered.

    TextFormField(
     validator: (value),
     inputFormatters: [
          FilteringTextInputFormatter.deny(new RegExp(r"sb|bs"))
        ],
     )

    2.After Input is entered.

    TextFormField(
      controller: _controller,
      ....
)

    Use: _controller.trim() this will trim all the whitespace in the textformfield

    border: InputBorder.none, in decoration:const InputDecoration()

    Try this code:

    import 'package:flutter/material.dart';

void main() => runApp(MyApp());

class MyApp extends StatelessWidget {
  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return MaterialApp(
      title: 'Flutter Demo',
      debugShowCheckedModeBanner: false,
      theme: ThemeData(
        primarySwatch: Colors.blue,
      ),
      home: const MyHomePage(title: 'Flutter Demo Home Page'),
    );
  }
}

class MyHomePage extends StatefulWidget {
  final String title;

  const MyHomePage({
    Key? key,
    required this.title,
  }) : super(key: key);

  @override
  State<MyHomePage> createState() => _MyHomePageState();
}

class _MyHomePageState extends State<MyHomePage> {
  final TextEditingController _textController = TextEditingController();

  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return Scaffold(
      appBar: AppBar(
        title: Text(widget.title),
      ),
      body: Center(
        child: Column(
          mainAxisAlignment: MainAxisAlignment.center,
          children: [
           TextFormField(
                controller: _textController,
                style: const TextStyle(
                  fontSize: 14,
                  fontFamily: 'Work_Sans',
                  fontWeight: FontWeight.w500,
                ),
                decoration:const InputDecoration(
                  hintText: 'Type Here',
                  border: InputBorder.none,
                  fillColor: Colors.white,
                  hintStyle:  TextStyle(
                    fontSize: 14,
                    color: Colors.grey,
                    fontFamily: 'Work_Sans',
                    fontWeight: FontWeight.w500,
                  ),
                ),
              ),
          ],
        ),
      ),
    );
  }
}
