new_loading_indicator 2.0.0

A fork of the loading_indicator package, providing a rich collection of loading animations for Flutter applications.

2.0.0

Breaking changes

• Requires Dart 3.13.3 and Flutter 3.47.3 or newer.
• When colors is null or empty, the indicator now falls back to ColorScheme.primary instead of ThemeData.primaryColor. In a Material 3 dark theme the old value resolved to grey[900] and was hard to see.
• Indicator.ballPulseSync now assigns colour indices 0, 1, 2 to its three balls (previously 0, 2, 4), matching every other indicator.
• The debugPrint warning emitted on each build when pause: true was combined with Indicator.circleStrokeSpin is gone. The limitation is documented on LoadingIndicator.pause instead.

Fixes

• A pause change that happened while an indicator element was deactivated (for example during GlobalKey reparenting) was never applied to its animation controllers.
• DecorateData.hashCode did not agree with its == for equal colour lists that were distinct objects.
• BallRotateChase called repeat() once per ball on its single controller.

Internal

• Removed the unused async and collection dependencies.
• All indicator widgets are final class; controllers and animations are late final; enum arguments use dot shorthands.
• Placeholder List.filled(n, Container()) lists replaced with collection for; Spacer and Row.spacing replace hand-built spacers.
• Tests: 169 to 368, line coverage 97.3% to 100%. The public LoadingIndicator is now exercised for every Indicator value (build, animate, pause/resume, dispose), every Shape is checked against real canvas calls, and the controller lifecycle is covered.
• Enabled prefer_final_locals, prefer_final_in_for_each, unnecessary_lambdas, avoid_redundant_argument_values and prefer_single_quotes.
• CI installs the pinned Flutter release from the official tarball (checksum verified) and runs dart format and flutter analyze --fatal-infos before tests.
