custom_widgets/inline_tap library

Tap targets inside a paragraph, resolved by text range rather than by span.

A GestureRecognizer on an InlineSpan is only effective for events that directly hit that span's own TextSpan.text, never its TextSpan.children: TextSpan.visitChildren skips a span whose text is null, TextSpan.getSpanForPositionVisitor returns null for a span whose text is null or empty, and RenderParagraph.hitTestChildren adds exactly the one span getSpanForPosition returned. So TextSpan(children: label, recognizer: tap) compiles, reads correctly, and is never tapped. A WidgetSpan cannot carry a recognizer at all.

This library sidesteps both. A TappableTextSpan carries a VoidCallback, not a recognizer; collectInlineTapRuns measures it after its subtree, so a wrapper covers its whole label; and InlineTapTargets resolves a pointer to a run with RenderParagraph.getBoxesForSelection — the same public call InlineCodeDecoration already uses to paint chips. A wrapper is therefore as tappable as a leaf, and a placeholder inside a label is covered by the run around it.

Classes

InlineTapLeafRecognizer

The recognizer this package arms a tappable leaf with.

InlineTapRun

A resolved tap target: a range of the paragraph's plain text, and what to run when it is hit.

LinkTextSpan

A TappableTextSpan the package recognises as a link.

TappableTextSpan

A TextSpan that answers a tap, without carrying a GestureRecognizer.

Mixins

InlineTapTargets

Resolves taps on InlineTapRuns at the paragraph rather than at the span.

Functions

collectInlineTapRuns(InlineSpan root) → List<InlineTapRun>

Every TappableTextSpan in root, as plain-text ranges.
