dapper 1.4.1

A simple Markdown and YAML formatter for Dart, inspired by Prettier.

1.4.1

Fixed

• Fix space accumulation on blank lines in nested code blocks.

Added

• Added strict-casts, strict-inference, and strict-raw-types to analysis_options.yaml for stronger type safety.
• Added additional defensive linter rules: avoid_catching_errors, cancel_subscriptions, close_sinks, directives_ordering, no_adjacent_strings_in_list, only_throw_errors, prefer_const_constructors_in_immutables, sort_constructors_first, test_types_in_equals, unnecessary_statements, use_super_parameters.
• Added prefer_relative_imports to linter rules.
• Add execution time and file statistics to CLI output.

Changed

• Refactor: Use relative imports in lib/bin/ to improve code organization.
• Fix: Add explicit type arguments to Future and Iterable in tests to satisfy strict mode.

1.4.0

Changed

• Internal: Remove dead code in Markdown printer related to checkbox list items.
• Internal: Remove duplicate _ensureTrailingNewline in YAML formatter, reuse text_utils.dart.
• Internal: Clean up development notes and verbose comments in code.
• Internal: Move CLI modules from bin/src/ to lib/bin/ for coverage and reusability.
• Internal: Split test/cli_test.dart into test/bin/ for better organization.

Added

• Add FileSystem abstraction in lib/bin/ for testability (100% coverage).
• Add lib/bin.dart exporting CLI utilities (DapperCli, ConfigLoader, IgnoreRules).
• Add AGENTS.md for AI agent design guidelines.

1.3.7

Fixed

• Fix unnecessary newline insertion after list items containing code blocks.
• Fix data loss when formatting checkbox list items with block content (e.g., code blocks).
• Fix data loss and incorrect structure when formatting nested blockquotes.
• Fix whitespace handling in paragraphs to ensure proper trimming, especially within blockquotes.

1.3.6

Changed

• Ignored *-lock.yaml files by default to prevent formatting auto-generated files.

Fixed

• Fixed incorrect escaping of backslashes and quotes in double-quoted and single-quoted YAML strings.

1.3.5

Fixed

• Fixed an issue where Markdown headers stripped inline formatting (e.g. "## code").

1.3.4

Fixed

• Fix YAML block scalars (| and >) being converted to double-quoted strings (e.g., in GitHub Actions workflows)

1.3.3

Fixed

• Fix path-based ignore patterns (e.g., ios/Pods, sub/ignored) not working in nested directories

Added

• Add comprehensive CLI tests for ignore pattern handling

1.3.2

Fixed

• Fix .gitignore directory patterns (trailing /) not being recognized

Changed

• Refactor CLI code structure for better maintainability

1.3.1

Changed

• Change default Markdown unordered list style in the CLI from - (dash) to * (asterisk).

1.3.0

Changed

• Change default Markdown unordered list style from - (dash) to * (asterisk) to match Prettier's default behavior.

1.2.0

Added

• Add .dapperignore and .gitignore support for excluding files and directories
  • Glob pattern matching (e.g., *.generated.md)
  • Negation patterns to override defaults (e.g., !build)
  • Nested ignore file support (child directories inherit parent rules)

1.1.1

Fixed

• Fix extra blank lines being inserted between nested list items

1.1.0

Fixed

• Add missing executables section to enable dart pub global activate dapper to work correctly
• Add .pubignore to reduce package size

1.0.4

Changed

• Remove unused code

1.0.3

Added

• Add interactive demo page with GitHub Pages support

1.0.2

Fixed

• Fix bug where nested list items were rendered on the same line instead of new lines

1.0.1

Fixed

• Normalize extra whitespace in list items (* Item → * Item)
• Normalize extra whitespace in headings (# Title → # Title)
• Normalize extra whitespace in blockquotes (> Text → > Text)

Changed

• Improved integration tests for messy input handling
• Updated example to demonstrate whitespace normalization
