fl_place_autocomplete 0.2.0

Google Places autocomplete for Flutter, with a pure-Dart UI and native platform backends.

0.2.0

• PlaceAutocompleteField.suggestionsMode (PlaceSuggestionsMode.overlay, bottomSheet, dialog): show suggestions in a modal with its own search field instead of an anchored overlay.
• bottomSheetOptions / dialogOptions (PlaceBottomSheetOptions, PlaceDialogOptions) style the modals: color, shape, elevation, barrier, size limits, and the search field (searchDecoration, searchFieldBuilder, searchPadding, autofocusSearch).
• panelBuilder replaces the overlay's chrome.
• The default field and the modal search field inherit InputDecorationTheme; a custom decoration is merged over it.
• All modes respect the keyboard. The overlay height is now capped to the room left above or below the field.
• Behaviour change: an explicit openDirection of up or down is a preference and flips to the other side when the keyboard leaves it too small. Previously the overlay always opened on the requested side.

0.1.0

• Initial release.
• Headless API FlPlaceAutocomplete: newSession, findPredictions, fetchPlace (full Places API (New) field catalog), fetchPhoto, cancelSession.
• PlaceAutocompleteField widget and PlaceAutocompleteController: debounced queries, stale-response dropping, automatic session handling, keyboard navigation, field/row/state/overlay builders, "Powered by Google" default footer.
• Endorsed implementations for Android, iOS (Swift Package Manager only) and web.
• API key via --dart-define=GOOGLE_PLACES_API_KEY=... (per-platform GOOGLE_PLACES_API_KEY_ANDROID / _IOS / _WEB win; works with --dart-define-from-file), with the native configuration (manifest meta-data, Info.plist GMSPlacesAPIKey, Maps script in index.html) as a fallback. Define values are compiled into the app: restrict your keys.
