chat_context_menu 2.3.0

A Flutter package that provides chat context menu with customizable appearance and animations, perfect for chat applications.

Chat Context Menu ChangeLog

2.3.0

• Hole barrier and dismiss scrim — When excludeAnchorFromBarrier is true and barrierColor is non-transparent, the modal uses a punched overlay plus an in-route full-screen dismiss layer (HoleModalDismissScrim) so taps on the dimmed area reliably close the menu (fixes hits not reaching the underlying barrier stack entry). Barrier painting remains in HoleModalBarrier (hit-test transparent); dismiss uses the same hole geometry as the visual cutout.
• barrierAnchorBorderRadius on ChatContextMenuWrapper — Optional BorderRadius for the anchor cutout so the hole can match rounded chat bubbles (RRect painting and hit testing via anchoredHoleShape / intersectHoleOverlayLocal).
• Anchor rect clipping — Before pushing the route, the anchor global Rect is clipped with clipAnchorGlobalRectForHole: intersect with the innermost RenderAbstractViewport (e.g. ListView viewport) and with MediaQuery size, so very tall list items no longer “punch” the overlay through the input bar or other UI below the scroll viewport.
• Route offstage gating — _useHoleBarrier no longer requires !offstage; the dismiss scrim stays in the page subtree while Offstage still suppresses interaction until the route is onstage.
• Example: barrierAnchorBorderRadius aligned with bubble decoration (BorderRadius.circular(10) in the chat demo).

2.1.0

• Add ChatSelectableText widget — a fully custom selectable text widget built from the ground up
  • Uses RichText for rendering, TextPainter for selection geometry, OverlayEntry for handles/menu, CompositedTransformFollower for positioning
  • Text selection with draggable handles (base & extent) for adjustable selection range
  • Customizable selection highlight color (selectionColor) and handle color (handleColor)
  • Context menu with arrow indicator, smart positioning with pointer-position fallback for long text
  • selectAllOnActivate property — when true (default), selects all text on activation; when false, selects the tapped word
  • selectAll callback provided in menuBuilder for programmatic select-all from the menu
  • Auto-scroll when dragging handles near viewport edges (autoScrollEdgeExtent, autoScrollSpeed)
  • Haptic feedback on selection activation (enableHapticFeedback)
  • Handle visibility — handles are automatically hidden when scrolled outside the viewport
  • Menu-only animation (text and selection appear immediately, only the menu panel animates)
  • Customizable menu appearance: menuBackgroundColor, menuBorderRadius, menuPadding, menuShadows
  • Customizable arrow: arrowHeight, arrowWidth, spacing, horizontalMargin
  • onSelectionChanged callback provides the currently selected text
  • onMenuClosed callback triggered when the menu is dismissed
  • Custom transitionsBuilder for menu animation

1.7.4

• transitionsBuilder add centerOffset parameter to control the animation origin point

1.7.3

• transitionsBuilder add alignment parameter to control the animation origin point

1.7.2

• Use pointer (finger press) position as anchor when the widget is taller than available space for the context menu

1.7.1

• Fix CurvedAnimation listener leak in route transitions — replaced with animation.drive(CurveTween(...))
• Fix barrierDismissible parameter being ignored (getter was hardcoded to true)
• Fix potential crash when widget is disposed while menu is closing (added mounted check)
• Add dispose to ChatContextMenuWrapperState to clean up active route on widget removal
• Rename verticalMargin to horizontalMargin in ChatContextMenuHorizontalLayout for correct semantics
• Fix getInnerPath in both shape classes to properly return inset path
• Remove unused padding parameter from ChatContextMenuHorizontalShape
