What is layrz_ui_extensions?

layrz_ui_extensions is a collection of adapters and type converters that bridge Layrz ecosystem packages into layrz_ui, keeping the design system lightweight and decoupled from heavy dependencies.

Included:

• i18n binding — Routes LayrzUiL10n lookups through the layrz_i18n translation engine. layrz_ui declares the contract with 133 English strings but has no i18n dependency; this adapter enables translation. Once registered, every layrz_ui component automatically picks up your translations.
• SDK model conversions (coming soon) — Adapters converting layrz_sdk types into layrz_ui view types, so layrz_ui itself needs no dependency on layrz_sdk.

---

Installation

Add both packages to your pubspec.yaml:

dependencies:
  layrz_ui: ^0.0.9
  layrz_ui_extensions: ^0.0.2

layrz_ui_extensions requires layrz_ui >= 0.0.9 because that is where LayrzUiL10n was introduced. Both packages version independently.

---

Usage

1. Initialize the layrz_i18n engine with your translation data:

import 'package:layrz_i18n/layrz_i18n.dart';
import 'package:layrz_ui_extensions/layrz_ui_extensions.dart';

void main() async {
  final i18n = LayrzI18n(languages: [
    'en', 'es', 'pt',  // or your supported locales
  ]);
  await i18n.load();
  
  runApp(MyApp(i18n: i18n));
}

2. Register LayrzUiI18nDelegate in your app before the default English fallback:

class MyApp extends StatelessWidget {
  final LayrzI18n i18n;
  const MyApp({required this.i18n});

  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return LayrzApp(
      title: 'My App',
      theme: LayrzThemeData.light(),
      localizationsDelegates: [
        LayrzUiI18nDelegate(i18n),      // Your custom translations
        const LayrzUiL10nDelegate(),    // English fallback
      ],
      supportedLocales: [
        const Locale('en'),
        const Locale('es'),
        const Locale('pt'),
      ],
      home: const HomePage(),
    );
  }
}

3. That's it. Every layrz_ui component reading context.l10n now automatically uses your translations.

Important: The Delegate Type Requirement

When implementing a custom localization delegate, you must type it over LayrzUiL10n, not a subclass.

// ✅ CORRECT
class MyDelegate extends LocalizationsDelegate<LayrzUiL10n> { ... }

// ❌ WRONG
class MyDelegate extends LocalizationsDelegate<LayrzUiI18n> { ... }

Why? Flutter's Localizations.of<T>() looks up delegates by their type parameter. If you type a delegate over a subclass, the resolver never finds it — it only looks for LocalizationsDelegate<LayrzUiL10n>. The result is silent fallback to English with no error message.

LayrzUiI18nDelegate follows this rule: it extends LayrzUiL10nDelegate and is typed over the base LayrzUiL10n, not LayrzUiI18n.

---

Translation Keys

All 133 keys follow a dotted namespace pattern derived from the contract member names:

• Actions: 'actions.cancel', 'actions.save', 'actions.reset', 'actions.search', 'actions.lint', 'actions.run'
• Confirmations: 'confirmations.title', 'confirmations.content', 'confirmations.confirm', 'confirmations.dismiss', 'confirmations.multipleTitle', 'confirmations.multipleContent'
• About: 'about.search', 'about.poweredBy', 'about.platformOS'
• Calendar: 'calendar.yearBack', 'calendar.yearNext', 'calendar.monthBack', 'calendar.monthNext', 'calendar.today', 'calendar.monthShort', and eleven month names
• Date-time pickers: 'dateTimePickers.from', 'dateTimePickers.to', 'dateTimePickers.selectDate', etc.
• And 13 more namespaces covering dual lists, dynamic avatars, editors, files, helpers, maps, notifications, passwords, required fields, select inputs, tables, taskbars, and weekdays

Important: These keys are derived from member names and have not been verified against live translation data. The implementation is correct; the key names follow a consistent pattern. You must validate that your layrz_i18n engine has entries for all 133 keys before deployment.

Pluralization: Eight duration-related keys use the tc() method for singular/plural selection. The translation engine must provide these in ' | '-separated format:

'helpers.duration.days': '1 day | %count% days'
'helpers.duration.hours': '1 hour | %count% hours'
// ... and six more duration keys

---

Partial Translation

You don't need to translate all 133 keys. Any key not present in the translation engine falls back to whatever layrz_i18n's default behavior is (typically the key name or English). Moreover, any key not overridden in LayrzUiI18n inherits its English default from LayrzUiL10n, so new keys added to layrz_ui in future releases will continue to work without requiring your adapter to be updated.

---

Decoupled Architecture

This package keeps layrz_ui lightweight by extracting bridging logic into layrz_ui_extensions:

• layrz_ui is purely a design system — no translation engine, no SDK, no heavy dependencies
• layrz_ui_extensions contains adapters that route lookups and conversions through dependent packages
• Each adapter is optional; apps choose which ones they need

This means:

• Apps using layrz_ui without i18n or SDK conversions have zero overhead
• Apps using different translation engines or model types can build their own adapters
• Both layrz_ui and its dependencies can evolve and release independently
