kun_ui_messages 2.46.0

KunUI's own user-visible strings for Dart: accessible names, empty and loading states, and built-in button labels, generated from the same catalogs the web components resolve.

kun_ui_messages

The Dart/Flutter string layer of KunUI, the shared design system of the NextMoe/KunGal ecosystem. It is the sibling of the catalogs bundled into the npm package @kungal/ui-core: one generator reads one set of catalogs and emits both, so a string cannot exist on one platform only.

Component code is not shared — Flutter has no DOM and no CSS cascade, so the widgets are written separately. Tokens, icons and now strings are shared, and they are generated.

Install

dependencies:
  kun_ui_messages: ^2.46.0

Pure Dart: no Flutter import, no dependencies.

Use

import 'package:kun_ui_messages/kun_ui_messages.dart';

const messages = KunMessages.zhCN;

Semantics(label: messages.input.clear, child: child);
Text(messages.pagination.page(page: 3));
Text(messages.datePicker.monthCell(year: 2026, month: '9月'));

Pick one by tag when your app already has a Locale:

final messages = KunMessages.byCode[locale.toLanguageTag()] ?? KunMessages.zhCN;

zh-CN is KunUI's built-in default, the same as on the web.

Why the templated strings are methods

A string with a {placeholder} is a method with required named parameters, not a field:

messages.datePicker.monthCell(year: 2026, month: '9月')  // 2026年9月
messages.avatarGroup.label(count: 3)                     // 3 位用户

The whole sentence is one template because a value's position moves between languages — Decrease {field} in en-US is {field} verringern in de-DE — so it can never be assembled from fragments at the call site. Requiring the parameters is what the web side cannot do: TypeScript proves the path is spelled right, but not that every placeholder was supplied, so a forgotten one ships a literal {month} into an accessibility label. In Dart that is a compile error.

Values are interpolated with '$value', matching the web's String(value). A count that needs locale-aware number formatting must be formatted before it gets here; this package does not do plurals, and neither does the web layer.

What is in it

Every string KunUI's own components render by themselves: accessible names for icon-only controls, empty and loading states, and the handful of built-in button labels. Two catalogs — zh-CN and en.

One namespace is renamed: the web's null (for KunNull) is nullState here, because null is a Dart reserved word. Contract entries still say null.description; the mapping is recorded in contracts/README.md.

What is not in it: the calendar grid's weekday and month names. Those are dates, not strings — on the web they come from a date-fns locale, and on Flutter they come from the SDK's own date symbols, resolved from KunMessages.code.

Guarantees

• Parity. The catalogs are the ones the web bundle is generated from. The generator fails if a key or a {placeholder} exists in one language and not another, so a string cannot go missing when an app switches language.
• Version lockstep. This package's version always equals the version of the four @kungal/* npm packages and of kun_ui_tokens and kun_ui_icons; they are bumped together and published from one commit. This release is kun_ui_messages 2.46.0.

lib/kun_ui_messages.dart is generated. Edit the catalogs in packages/ui-core/src/locale and run pnpm gen; a PR that edits lib directly is regenerated away by CI.
