Changelog

All notable changes to this project will be documented in this file.

1.0.0 - 2026-06-10

Added

• IconRichTextBuilder utility class with buildSpan() and buildRichText() static methods for composing inline rich text from a flat list of String, IconData, and InlineSpan parts.
• CustomCodePointExtension on int — adds toCustomTextSpan() and toCustomText() for rendering any Unicode code point using a custom icon font family (e.g. FontAwesome, Ionicons, Remix Icons). The font must be registered in the host app's pubspec.yaml.
• toWidgetSpan() on IconData — embeds the icon as a WidgetSpan within an inline widget tree. Accepts iconSize, iconColor, iconStyle, alignment, and semanticsLabel.
• Interactive tabbed playground in the example/ app covering all features: basic icon text, rich text builder, custom font icons, and IconTextLabel.
• Detailed /// documentation comments on all public APIs for IDE hover support in VS Code, Android Studio, and other Dart-aware editors.

Changed
