multiple_search_selection 2.5.2

A highly customizable multiple selection widget with fuzzy search functionality.

2.5.2 🐛 Bug fixes

• Resolves the inconsistency where ShowedItemsVisibility.onType was showing all items after selecting one from the list.

2.5.1 🐛 Bug fixes

• Fixes range exception issue when selecting all items

2.5.0 ✨🔥 New features & Breaking changes

Breaking changes

• Removes deprecated parameters

Features

• Adds maxSelectedItems parameter to specify the maximum amount of items the user can select from the items' list. If the maximum number is picked:
  • The search TextField is disabled and the items' list is hidden.
  • The select all button is hidden.
  • The show items button is hidden, if the item visibility is Toggle.
  • The dialog of the items is popped, if the item visibility is Toggle.

2.4.5 🐛✨ Bug fixes & New features

Fixes

• Resolves an issue with showedItems not dissapearing when itemsVisibility == ShowedItemsVisibility.onType & clearSearchFieldOnSelect == true

Features

• Adds showedItemsExtent flag. When we have very large lists with dynamic content, unfortunately there is an open issue in Flutter that causes the list to be very slow when scrolled with the srollbar. In that case you can set this to use a fixed height for each item resolving the jankiness. The downside obviously would be that you can't have dynamic height items.

2.4.4 🐛 Bug fixes

• Resolves an issue when the clear textfield button was not resetting showed items.

2.4.3 ✨ New features

• Renames outerContainer to searchField to properly reflect its purpose.

• Adds a new parameter called searchFieldBoxDecoration, which allows you to specify the decoration of the top portion of the dialog box when the ShowedItemsVisibility is set to toggle.

• Adds deprecated flags to exposed Decoration parameters from pickedItemsBoxDecoration, searchFieldBoxDecoration & showedItemsBoxDecoration. Will be removed on next version.

• Fixes discrepancies of the decoration parameters.

2.4.2 🐛 Bug fixes

• Fixes short circuiting issue

2.4.1 🐛 Bug fixes

• Resolved issue of displayed items failing to wrap when there were fewer items to display in the container.

2.4.0 ✨🔥 New features & Breaking changes

• Refactored the displayed items to use lazy loading, resulting in a significant improvement in performance for large lists. Additionally, the index is now accessible for further customization.

itemBuilder: (country, index) {
    if (index==0) return Text('Hello World');
    return Padding(
    padding: const EdgeInsets.all(6.0),
    child: Container(
        decoration: BoxDecoration(
        borderRadius: BorderRadius.circular(6),
        color: Colors.white,
         ),
        child: Padding(
         padding: const EdgeInsets.symmetric(
            vertical: 20.0,
            horizontal: 12,
         ),
         child: Text(country.name),
      ),
    ),
  );
},

• Exposes some more InputDecoration parameters :
  • Adds showClearSearchFieldButton which adds a suffix icon to clear searchfield
  • Adds hintText
  • Adds textFieldFocus
  • Adds textEdittingController
• If pickedItemsContainerBuilder is provided it will build even if no items are picked

2.3.7 ✨ New features

• Adds pickedItemsContainerBuilder. You can now provide your own custom Widget for the picked items. pickedItems (List<Widget>) are created from the pickedItemBuilder. So having those items you can customise the layout at your needs.

pickedItemsContainerBuilder: (pickedItems) => Center(
    child: Container(
    height: 150,
    width: 150,
    decoration: BoxDecoration(
        border: Border.all(color: Colors.grey[400]!),
      ),
    child: ListView(
        children: pickedItems,
    ),
  ),
),
pickedItemBuilder: (country) {
    return Padding(
    padding: const EdgeInsets.all(8),
    child: Center(
        child: Text(
        country.name,
        style: const TextStyle(
            color: Colors.blue,
            decoration: TextDecoration.underline,
        ),
      ),
    ),
  );

    createItem: (text) {
        return Country(name: text, iso: text);
    },
    // Create item Widget that appears instead of no results.
    createItemBuilder: (text) => Align(
        alignment: Alignment.centerLeft,
            child: Padding(
                padding: const EdgeInsets.all(8.0),
                child: Text('Create "$text"'),
