flutter_message_composer 0.5.2

An adaptive Flutter message composer with multiline text, attachments, audio previews, and hold-to-record gestures with slide-to-cancel and locking.

0.5.2

• Toggle the emoji action between emoji and keyboard icons with matching tooltips while preserving its size, spacing, draft and selection.
• Observe native iOS session input-mode changes, including Emoji search and ABC. Document the limits of detecting switches outside the native session.
• Track AndroidX picker visibility and reset the action when native input closes.
• Expose isEmojiKeyboardOpen and toggleEmojiKeyboard() through the action controller.
• Add textKeyboardButtonIcon, isEmojiPickerOpen and onTextKeyboardPressed for custom action icons and host-owned pickers.
• Notify the previous input owner when another composer replaces its native session.

0.5.1

• Restore native Emoji search on iOS with a complete UIKit text-input client.
• Keep the native session open when Emoji search switches to a letter keyboard.
• Forward UIKit text-input commits to the Flutter draft without keeping a second editable copy of the message.
• Clarify the platform-specific search capabilities of the native emoji action.

0.5.0

• Show the emoji action by default; visibility and enabled state remain configurable.
• Open the native iOS Emoji keyboard without requiring an app-owned picker.
• Include Google's native AndroidX Emoji Picker on Android; no custom app selector or keyboard-vendor integration is required.
• Retain the macOS system character palette and optional onEmojiPressed override.
• Preserve the draft, cursor and selected text, and delete whole emoji sequences.
• Scope native input to its composer and release it when the field, route or recording workflow changes; ignore callbacks from closed sessions.
• Support Swift Package Manager and CocoaPods on iOS. The Emoji keyboard must be enabled in iOS settings. Existing audio dependency platform requirements remain unchanged.

0.4.0

• Add MessageComposerController to trigger recording, audio preview, sending, attachment menus, focus, and emoji actions from external controls.
• Expose observable action availability and recording state through MessageComposerValue; retain permission and busy-state checks for all commands.
• Add an optional emoji action before the microphone with independent visibility, enabled state, icon, tooltip, picker callback, and error callback.
• Open the native macOS emoji/character palette without replacing the text field. Other platforms can connect a host-owned picker through onEmojiPressed.
• Support Swift Package Manager and CocoaPods for the native macOS action.
• Preserve action sizes and spacing on narrow composers by moving controls below the text when the compact row has insufficient space.
• Allow external cancellation while microphone startup is pending.
• Update recorder, icon, and permission dependencies and raise the Dart requirement to 3.13.4 and the Flutter requirement to 3.44.0.

0.3.2

• Preserve text focus and the keyboard when sending from controls or the IME.
• Keep the next draft editable while sending blocks duplicate submissions, attachment actions and recording; explicit enabled: false still disables input.

0.3.1

• Reduce the default attachment-menu padding and make it configurable through MessageComposer.menuPadding.

0.3.0

• Replace record with flutter_recorder for the default audio recorder.
• Record 16-bit mono WAV by default for reliable local playback on iOS and Android.
• Align the default recorder sample rate with flutter_recorder and use the generic iOS input preset for voice-note capture.
• Force the preview player back into a playback audio session after recording.
• Add opt-in silence-aware recording with automatic pause/resume while silence is detected.
• Discard invalid WAV files before preview or submission.
• Add MessageComposerAudioRecorderConfig for capture format, sample rate, channels, file format, platform input presets, and silence thresholds.
• Add onBeforeStartRecording and typed recording lifecycle events so host apps can delay capture startup and react to cancellation or failure states.
• Release the native recorder when capture stops or is canceled so consecutive voice notes start from a fresh capture session.

0.2.2

• Confirm the start of held recording with light-impact feedback after the microphone is ready, without premature feedback on permission or startup failures or recordings already queued to send or cancel.
• Enable haptics during recording in the default iOS audio session so the slide-to-lock gesture can provide light-impact feedback without stopping capture.
• Preserve explicit recorder configurations and document the iOS setting's effect on system sounds.

0.2.1

• Use light-impact haptic feedback when slide-to-cancel or slide-to-lock reaches its gesture threshold.
• Refine package documentation for installation, customization, resource ownership, and localization.

0.2.0

• Replace the disabled recording-stop button with play/pause preview controls.
• Add local audio playback, pause/resume, repeat playback, and waveform progress.
• Display tabular recording time, playback position, and total duration as MM:SS before the waveform.
• Add slide-to-cancel and upward slide-to-lock recording gestures, including RTL support, configurable distances, haptics, and a lock indicator.
• Preserve the release/cancel/lock intent during microphone startup and avoid sending a recording when another pointer is released.
• Add an injectable, lazily created preview player and localizable control labels, preview icons, timer styling, and playback error callbacks.
• Stop previews before sending or discarding audio and clean up unsent files.
• Expand audio workflow documentation and examples without changing existing recorder, submission, or text-controller contracts.

0.1.1

• Refresh the public installation documentation for pub.dev.

0.1.0

• Add adaptive multiline message composition.
• Add configurable attachment and prompt actions.
• Add tap-to-record and hold-to-record audio workflows.
• Add typed text, attachment, and audio submission payloads.
• Add theming, localization, and accessibility customization hooks.
• Add a customizable suggestion area above the composer field.
• Accept specialized text controllers without depending on token detection.
• Add an injectable recorder contract for alternate capture backends.
• Keep multiline transitions stable for trailing spaces and scaled text.
