codifyiq_user_avatar 1.2.0

A circular user avatar widget with graceful photo, initials, and icon fallbacks for Flutter apps.

1.2.0

• photoBytes and photoBase64 parameters — render an avatar photo you already hold in memory, or one that arrived base64-encoded from an OAuth provider or JSON API, without building an ImageProvider yourself. photoBase64 also accepts a data: URI, and an undecodable string falls back to initials rather than throwing.
• Avatar photos no longer flicker or re-decode when a list rebuilds. The widget owns the MemoryImage behind photoBytes / photoBase64 and reuses it while the bytes are unchanged, so you can build them inline in build() — no more per-item provider cache keyed on user id. An imageProvider you pass is likewise compared by value, including the bytes of a MemoryImage — on its own or wrapped in a ResizeImage.

1.1.1

• Square- and curly-bracketed qualifiers in a display name (e.g. "Alice [Contractor]", "Alice {External}") are now stripped before deriving initials, alongside the parenthetical form already handled. "Alice [Contractor]" shows "AL" instead of "A[".

1.1.0

• SelectableAvatarLeading — a list row's leading control that swaps a UserAvatar for a tappable check icon on hover, or permanently once selected: the Google Contacts pattern for starting a multi-select without dedicating a whole column to checkboxes up front.

1.0.0

• Initial release as a standalone package, extracted from codifyiq_core_components.
• UserAvatar — a circular avatar with photo, initials, and icon fallbacks.
• imageProvider parameter — supply a ready-made ImageProvider (e.g. MemoryImage, FileImage, AssetImage) for the avatar photo from a non-URL source; it renders through the same circular-clip, cover-fit, and error-to-initials fallback as a network photo.
• Parenthetical qualifiers in a display name (e.g. "Java Joe (Contractor)", common in enterprise and government directories) are stripped before deriving initials, so the avatar shows "JJ" instead of "J(". This applies to both UserAvatar and the public UserAvatar.initialsFor helper.
