formless 0.1.8

A Flutter package that turns any list of fields into an AI-powered conversational form. Validates answers via Groq, OpenAI, Gemini, or DeepSeek and returns a clean key->value map when all fields are collected.

Changelog

0.1.8

• Custom options sheet: Formless / ChatLayout accept optional optionsSheetPresenter (FormlessOptionsSheetPresenter). Use FormlessOptionsSheetArgs (options, title, questionKey, theme, select) to build your own modal, or call showDefaultFormlessOptionPickerSheet / showOptionsSearchSheet to wrap the built-in UI. Exported from package:formless/formless.dart.
• Default searchable sheet restyled to match the rest of the chat UI (pill search field like the input bar, chip-like option rows with accent border, drag handle, surface background, FormlessTheme integration).
• Fix: Editing an answer chosen from options after earlier retries on the same step no longer pointed at the wrong question (options chips/sheet missing). Each user bubble stores AnswersModel.questionIndex for correct rollback.

0.1.7

• Long options lists (e.g. countries): automatic searchable bottom sheet when there are more than 12 choices (configurable via optionsChipMaxCount). Added QuestionOptionsPresentation, optionsSheetTitle, and options_search_sheet UX.

0.1.6

• Added optional QuestionsModel.options for multiple-choice questions: centered chips under the question; bottom text field stays visible but disabled with a hint; values are sent to the AI with matching prompt rules.

0.1.5

• Chat UX after completion: input stays disabled and user bubbles remain right-aligned (no layout shift).

0.1.4

• Resolved static analysis issues (comment_references, prefer_single_quotes) so pub.dev can complete package analysis successfully.

0.1.3

• After all questions are answered, the chat input and send button are disabled so users cannot send more messages (editing previous answers is also disabled).
• Keep user message bubbles right-aligned when the form is complete (they no longer jump to the left).
• Added optional onError callback on Formless / ChatLayout so host apps can log or surface validation and API failures.
• Documented QuestionsModel.onValidate (post-AI checks such as nickname availability) in README, API table, and dartdocs.
• Exclude local build/ from the published tarball via .pubignore.
• Version bump for pub.dev publication.

0.1.2

• Updated demo GIF.

0.1.1

• Added backgroundColor parameter to Formless for background color control.
• Added unexpectedErrorMessage parameter to customize the error banner text.
• API and network errors now show a dismissible banner instead of a chat bubble.
• User's message is automatically restored in the input field after an API error.
• Added demo GIF to README.
