🎬 Basic Usage

✅ Playing an SVGA Animation from Assets

import 'package:flutter/material.dart';
import 'package:flutter_svga/flutter_svga.dart';

void main() {
  runApp(MyApp());
}

class MyApp extends StatelessWidget {
  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return MaterialApp(
      home: Scaffold(
        appBar: AppBar(title: Text("Flutter SVGA Example")),
        body: Center(
          child: SVGAEasyPlayer(
            assetsName: "assets/sample_with_audio.svga",
            fit: BoxFit.contain,
          ),
        ),
      ),
    );
  }
}

---

🌍 Playing SVGA from a Network URL

SVGAEasyPlayer(
  resUrl: "https://example.com/sample.svga",
  fit: BoxFit.cover,
);

---

🎭 Advanced Usage: Using SVGAAnimationController

✅ Controlling Animation Playback

class MySVGAWidget extends StatefulWidget {
  @override
  _MySVGAWidgetState createState() => _MySVGAWidgetState();
}

class _MySVGAWidgetState extends State<MySVGAWidget>
    with SingleTickerProviderStateMixin {
  late SVGAAnimationController _controller;

  @override
  void initState() {
    super.initState();
    _controller = SVGAAnimationController(vsync: this);
    SVGAParser.shared.decodeFromAssets("assets/sample.svga").then((video) {
      _controller.videoItem = video;
      _controller.repeat();
    });
  }

  @override
  void dispose() {
    _controller.dispose();
    super.dispose();
  }

  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return SVGAImage(_controller);
  }
}

---

🎨 Customization & Dynamic Elements

✅ Adding Dynamic Text

controller.videoItem!.dynamicItem.setText(
  TextPainter(
    text: TextSpan(
      text: "Hello SVGA!",
      style: TextStyle(color: Colors.red, fontSize: 18),
    ),
    textDirection: TextDirection.ltr,
  ),
  "text_layer",
);

---

✅ Replacing an Image Dynamically

controller.videoItem!.dynamicItem.setImageWithUrl(
  "https://example.com/new_image.png",
  "image_layer",
);

---

✅ Hiding a Layer

controller.videoItem!.dynamicItem.setHidden(true, "layer_to_hide");

---

🗄️ Caching (New!)

Automatic performance optimization with zero breaking changes:

// Caching works automatically - no code changes needed!
final animation = await SVGAParser.shared.decodeFromURL(
  "https://example.com/animation.svga"
);

// Optional: Configure cache settings
SVGACache.shared.setMaxCacheSize(50 * 1024 * 1024); // 50MB
SVGACache.shared.setMaxAge(const Duration(days: 3)); // 3 days

// Optional: Manage cache
await SVGACache.shared.clear(); // Clear all cache
final stats = await SVGACache.shared.getStats(); // Get cache info

📋 See CACHE.md for complete caching documentation and examples.

---

🎯 Playback Controls

controller.forward();  // Play once
controller.repeat();   // Loop playback
controller.stop();     // Stop animation
controller.value = 0;  // Reset to first frame

🛠 Common Issues & Solutions

❌ Black Screen when Loading SVGA

✅ Solution: Ensure your svga files are correctly placed inside assets/ and registered in pubspec.yaml.

flutter:
  assets:
    - assets/sample.svga

---

❌ SVGA Not Loading from Network

✅ Solution: Ensure the SVGA file is accessible via HTTPS. Test the URL in a browser.

SVGAEasyPlayer(
  resUrl: "https://example.com/sample.svga",
  fit: BoxFit.cover,
);

---

❌ Animation Freezes or Doesn't Play

✅ Solution: Use setState after loading SVGA to rebuild the widget.

setState(() {
  _controller.videoItem = video;
});
