Notes 📝

• Set the [debugShowCheckedModeBanner] value to [false] to hide the top debug red ribbon at the [MaterialApp].
• If you add the [APIGuide().display()] widget inside the [Scaffold] widget make sure to put it inside the body only without the [appBar], [drawer], [floatingActionButton], [bottomNavigationBar] or [bottomSheet] because it has the Scaffold with all needed attributes as full page screen widget.
• The preferred way to adding [APIGuide().display()] is inside the [build] method as return value directly of the [StatelessWidget].
• If you do not set the [termsLink] or [privacyLink] it is not appear.
• If you do not set the [themeColor] it is automatic take the [APIGuideThemeColor.indigo] swatch palette color.
• There are many internal function attributes that do not affect the raw data that are passed as optional attributes and if passed do not affect the function because they are programmed to automatically change themselves as needed like [APIItem.isHovered], [APIItem.isOptionalSecurity], [APIGuideParam.isSecurityItem] and [APIGuideFAQ.isExpanded].
