ai_sdk_flutter_ui 1.2.0

Flutter UI controllers and prebuilt widgets for the AI SDK Dart port.

1.2.0

Turns ai_sdk_flutter_ui into a one-stop Flutter UI hub: prebuilt widgets, hardened controllers, and full test coverage.

Visual design

• Reworked the widget set toward a restrained Material 3 look: a bubbleless assistant transcript (user turns keep a bubble; assistant turns are plain text with a subtle marker), a shared motion + haptics vocabulary (AiMotion, built only from core Flutter primitives — no animation dependency), gentle ease-out curves over bounce, and a first-class reduced-motion path. The design system is documented in DESIGN.md.

Prebuilt widget library (new)

19 composable, themeable Material widgets that read only the controllers' public state and Theme.of(context). No heavy platform dependencies — attachment rendering and link-opening are exposed as callbacks.

Scaffolding & message list

• AiChatScaffold — drop-in chat body (ChatMessageList + ChatComposer) wired to a ChatController + ToolLoopAgent.
• ChatMessageList — renders message history + an optimistic streaming bubble; auto-scrolls; optional messageBuilder.
• ChatMessageBubble — a single message styled by role, with selectable text.
• AssistantMessageView — a rich assistant turn composing text, reasoning, tool calls, sources, and media together.
• MessageMedia / MessageImage / MessageAttachment — render image and file attachments on a message, with an onOpen callback.
• MessageActionsBar — a per-message action row (copy, retry, …) with callbacks.

Streaming & status

• StreamingTextView — streaming text with a subtle blinking cursor.
• TypingIndicator — animated "assistant is typing" dots.
• UsageView — a compact token-usage summary (prompt / completion / total).

Reasoning, tools & sources

• ReasoningView — a collapsible panel for reasoning / "thinking" text.
• ToolCallCard — a tool call (name + pretty-printed JSON args) and its result/error.
• ToolApprovalCard — approve/reject UI for tools gated by needsApproval.
• SourceCitations — a wrap of citation chips for source parts, with an onTap callback.

Input & navigation

• ChatComposer — text field + send button; disabled while loading; optional onStop/onAttach.
• PromptSuggestions — tappable starter-prompt chips.
• ScrollToBottomButton — appears when the list is scrolled up; jumps to the latest message.
• ChatErrorView — an inline error banner with a retry callback.

Object streaming

• ObjectStreamView — renders an ObjectStreamController's partial JSON as it streams.

Controller improvements

• ObjectStreamController — added a useObject-style convenience: pass model/schema to the constructor and call submit(prompt), which runs streamText(output: Output.object(schema:)) and binds the partial-output stream. bind(Stream<T>) is still available for full flexibility. submit throws a clear StateError if model/schema are missing.
• ChatController — added an isStreaming getter (status == ChatStatus.streaming) for consistency with CompletionController and ObjectStreamController.
• ChatController and CompletionController now surface streaming errors. Errors raised during a streamText run arrive on the full event stream rather than the text stream; both controllers now watch it, so error/onError (and ChatStatus.error) fire on streaming failures, not just setup failures. Subscriptions are cleaned up on stop/clear/dispose.

Tests

• Added the package's first test suite: 133 tests (controller + widget) covering state transitions, streamingContent, append/reload/clear/stop, onFinish/onError, isStreaming, ObjectStreamController.submit/bind, and a testWidgets pass for every widget. 99.5% line coverage.

Fixes

• PressableScale no longer throws when disposed after being built under reduced motion. Its animation controller is now created in initState instead of lazily in build, so tearing the widget down (when it never built the animated path) no longer constructs a Ticker against a defunct element ("Looking up a deactivated widget's ancestor is unsafe").

1.1.0

• Bumped ai_sdk_dart constraint to ^1.1.0 to pick up timeout, onAbort, and all other 1.1.0 core improvements.
• No controller-level behaviour changes; version aligned with the rest of the monorepo.

1.0.0+1

• Improved pubspec descriptions for better pub.dev discoverability.
• Added example/example.md with usage examples and links to runnable apps.

1.0.0

First stable release. Package renamed from ai_sdk_flutter → ai_sdk_flutter_ui to avoid conflicts with existing pub.dev packages. Depends on ai_sdk_dart 1.0.0.

• ChatController — manages a chat message list, streams assistant replies, handles optimistic UI updates. Implements Listenable for use with ListenableBuilder.
• CompletionController — single-turn text completion with streaming and status tracking.
• ObjectStreamController<T> — streams partial structured objects, providing live partial updates as JSON arrives.
• Full hook parity with Vercel AI SDK v6 React hooks: append, reload, clear / reset, isStreaming, onFinish, onError.
