flutter_micro_interactions 0.2.0

Pre-built micro-interactions and animations for Flutter: tap feedback, toasts, shimmer buttons, slide-to-confirm, staggered lists, typewriter text, and more.

0.2.0

New animations, built on the stable 0.1.0 base. No breaking changes.

Added

• SuccessBurst: one-shot particle burst for success confirmations, with SuccessBurstController and support for repeated bursts.
• PulseHighlight: expanding pulse rings that draw attention to a widget, with PulseHighlightController, auto play, and an optional pulse limit.
• AnimatedCounter: animated number changes with two modes, numeric count and odometer-style sliding digits.
• AnimatedBadge: a count badge attached to a corner of a widget that scales in and out and bounces when the count changes.
• StaggeredList: staggered entrance animation for list children, with a builder constructor and a standalone StaggeredItem for custom layouts.
• ShimmerButton: a call-to-action button with a periodic shimmer sweep, keyboard activation, and press feedback.
• SlideToConfirm: slide a thumb across a track to confirm an action, with a spring return, a confirmed state, and a direct confirm action for screen readers and keyboards.
• ExpandableFab: a floating action button that expands into a set of action buttons, linearly or radially, with staggered entrance.
• AnimatedCheck: a checkmark or cross drawn with an animated stroke, for loading-to-result flows.
• AnimatedGradientBorder: an animated sweeping gradient border around any widget.
• TypewriterText: text that types itself out, with a blinking cursor, deletion, and cycling through several strings.
• LiquidProgress: a progress indicator filled with an animated liquid wave, in circle or rectangle shape.

All new widgets follow the package conventions: duration, curve, and enabled parameters, reduced motion support, screen reader support, and theme-aware default colors.

0.1.0

Stabilization release. This version fixes broken behavior, renames classes that conflicted with the Flutter SDK and popular packages, unifies the API, and adds accessibility support across the package.

Breaking changes

• Renamed ReorderableList to MicroReorderableList (conflicted with the Flutter SDK).
• Removed TransitionRoute (conflicted with the Flutter SDK). Use MicroNavigator helpers instead.
• Renamed PageTransition to MicroPageRoute and PageTransitionType to MicroTransitionType.
• Removed SharedAxisTransition and HeroTransition.
• Renamed SwipeAction to MicroSwipeAction.
• Renamed MenuItem to LongPressMenuItem.
• Renamed ShapeType to MicroShapeType.
• Renamed ButtonState to MicroButtonState. ButtonStates is now driven by a ButtonStateController instead of a GlobalKey, and state widgets are now builders (loadingBuilder, successBuilder, errorBuilder).
• Removed the extensions on List<Widget> and Widget (ReorderableListExtension, withCardFlip).
• Removed the unused onMenuItemSelected parameter from LongPressMenu.
• Minimum Flutter version is now 3.38.

Fixed

• MorphingShapes now morphs between shapes with real path interpolation instead of switching halfway through the animation.
• ElasticScroll now applies real elastic resistance and an animated snap back. elasticity and stiffness are honored.
• ParallaxScroll and ParallaxImage now produce a real parallax effect.
• FloatingLabel now animates the label on focus, and its validator works with Form.validate(). The error message is no longer shown twice.
• Toast notifications: the close button now dismisses the toast, toasts animate out, timers are cancelled correctly, and multiple toasts no longer overlap.
• ShakeToAction no longer fires on a simple drag. It now requires a real back-and-forth gesture, and can be triggered programmatically with ShakeController.
• HoverGlow now fades out smoothly when the pointer leaves the widget.
• SwipeActions now reveals a row of tappable actions, supports more than one action per side, and honors actionExtentRatio.
• MicroReorderableList no longer crashes when the list of children grows.
• CardFlip no longer gets out of sync after rapid taps, and supports both controlled and uncontrolled use.
• TextSkeleton now renders the shorter last line correctly.
• Widgets now react to configuration changes (duration, curve, controllers) after the first build, and animations are guarded against use after dispose.

Added

• Reduced motion support across the package. Animations respect the platform "reduce motion" setting.
• Screen reader support: semantic buttons, state announcements, custom semantic actions for swipe and long press, and live region announcements for toasts.
• Keyboard support for interactive widgets (focus highlight and activation with Enter and Space).
• Controllers for programmatic use: ButtonStateController, CardFlipController, MorphingShapesController, ShakeController, WaterRippleController.
• ToastPosition, toast styling options, action button, and toast stacking.
• Builder constructors for lists (ElasticListView.builder, MicroReorderableList.builder).
• PullToRefresh.adaptive and full RefreshIndicator parameter passthrough.
• Theme-aware default colors, including dark mode support for skeletons.
• Documentation comments for the whole public API.
