form_wizard 0.1.2

The most performant, customizable, and lightweight form validation and builder package for Flutter.

0.1.2

Performance

• Collapsed field value updates and field validation into a single provider state emission per edit.
• Added no-op guards around form configuration to avoid redundant setup emissions.
• Fixed formValidityProvider to use the same hidden-field-aware validity logic as FormState.isValid.
• Cleaned stepper validity watching to avoid broad selector churn.

Reliability

• Replaced deprecated dropdown value usage with initialValue.
• Fixed OTP resend cooldown internals so timers/notifiers are owned and disposed safely.
• Improved internally owned stepper controller lifecycle.
• Fixed a rare tab/page switching lifecycle issue where internally scoped forms could trigger setState() after dispose.

Documentation

• Added a clear v0.1.2 performance upgrade section to README.
• Updated README examples for current template, stepper, field array, and preset APIs.
