flutter_text_sniffer 6.0.0

A widget that detects specific patterns within a text and makes them interactive.

6.0.0

• Breaking: renamed SnifferType → Sniffer, EmailSnifferType → EmailSniffer, LinkSnifferType → LinkSniffer. Update your custom sniffer subclasses to extend Sniffer instead of SnifferType.
• Breaking: renamed widget parameter snifferTypes → sniffers.
• Breaking: each sniffer is now matched with its own regex instead of a single combined pattern. This preserves per-pattern flags (e.g. caseSensitive: false) and resolves overlapping matches by sniffer priority (order in the sniffers list).
• Added entryResolver callback — an alternative to positional matchEntries that resolves entries by matched text/type instead of index. Robust when the text or match count changes.
• Added mouseCursor: SystemMouseCursors.click on matched spans for web/desktop.
• Example: added book_excerpt_example.dart — an annotated book reader demonstrating entryResolver with character names and glossary terms (Alice in Wonderland excerpt).

5.0.2

• Fixed: changing snifferTypes without changing text now correctly re-parses. Previously the widget compared the old sniffer signature against itself, so pattern/type changes on an existing TextSniffer were ignored until the text also changed.
• Tests: reached 100% line coverage (added coverage for matchBuilder, snifferTypes re-parsing, LinkSnifferType, SnifferType.toString, and the deprecated textScaleFactor getter).
• Chore: added CI (analyze, format, tests with enforced 100% coverage, publish-on-release) and switched the license to MIT.

5.0.1

• Docs: documented onTapMatch/matchEntries behavior (entry is optional and per-match; index is global across all matches; error is reserved).
• Docs: added a "Large Texts (books, articles)" guide — chunk long text with ListView.builder instead of one big TextSniffer.
• Example: added long_text_example.dart (lazy ListView.builder demo) plus a toolbar button to open it; switched example logging to debugPrint.
• Tests: added widget tests covering parsing, tap handling and re-parsing.

5.0.0

• Breaking: removed NoMatchEntryFoundException. Tapping a match no longer throws when matchEntries is empty or shorter than the number of matches — onTapMatch is now always called with match: null and error: null in that case. matchEntries is fully optional and per-match.
• Fixed: case-insensitive matching is now preserved (regex flags were lost via the internal regex cache, breaking uppercase emails/links).
• Fixed: tap callbacks no longer reuse a wrong index when the same text is matched more than once (matched spans are no longer cached by text).
• Fixed: sniffersTypes with a null/empty pattern no longer produce an empty regex alternative that matched every position.
• Perf: matches are materialized once instead of rebuilding the list per match.
• Fixed: TapGestureRecognizers created per match are now disposed (previously leaked on every rebuild). TextSniffer is now a StatefulWidget.
• Perf: text is parsed (regex run) only when text or sniffers change, not on every rebuild — important for large texts.
• Non-matching text now defaults to DefaultTextStyle (theme/dark-mode aware) instead of hard-coded black.
