anchored_dropdown_field 0.3.1

Animated, anchored Flutter dropdown fields with forms, single and multiple selection, local filtering, async search, and customizable menus.

0.3.1

• Added DropdownSearchConfig.textCapitalization to configure the search keyboard while preserving the existing TextCapitalization.none default.
• Typed and pasted queries remain unchanged; capitalization is a keyboard hint.

0.3.0

• Breaking: Remove DropdownSearchConfig.decoration. Configure the search hint, hint style, and all other field styling through the dropdown's decoration only.
• Consume outside taps by default so dismissing the panel does not activate controls underneath. Explicit consumeOutsideTap: false remains available.
• Recalculate panel placement and height when the keyboard appears or hides, preserving the input and options within the available space.
• Reveal the first selected option when opening, including asynchronously loaded options, variable-height items, headers, and separators, without scrolling the surrounding form.
• Reduce spacing between the clear button and rotating dropdown indicator.
• Animate long option lists as a group to avoid per-item interval rounding assertions in MenuAnchor.

0.2.0

• Moved local and asynchronous search into the dropdown field itself. The anchored panel now contains options and result states without a separate search input.
• Preserve field decoration, validation, selected-value builders, and selection when entering, clearing, or dismissing a query.
• Keep keyboard focus while selecting multiple values and hovering over results.
• Support Escape to close and Arrow Down to navigate to the first enabled option.
• Cancel pending debounce timers and ignore late results after closing.
• Retain external search controller ownership and optional query persistence.
• Deprecate menu-only search padding. Search decoration now supplies the placeholder text and style; use the field decoration for all other styling.
• Add regression coverage for in-field geometry, keyboard interaction, async lifecycle, validation, multiple selection, RTL, and light and dark themes.

0.1.0

• Initial release.
• Added controlled and form-aware single-selection dropdowns.
• Added controlled and form-aware multiple-selection dropdowns.
• Added local filtering and debounced asynchronous search.
• Added customizable menu, item, selected value, loading, and error states.
• Added adaptive menu sizing and animated open, close, and indicator states.
