novident_editor_styles 1.0.0

Style system for Novident Editor — reusable style definitions, table styles, registry, and font provider.

Novident Editor Styles

Named paragraph style system for the Novident Editor. basedOn inheritance chains, table styles, registry resolution, and a font provider — usable independently of the full editor.

Features

• NovidentStyleDefinition — named style with font family, font size, weight, italic, underline, spacing (before/after/line-height), indentation, alignment, colour, and more. Supports basedOn inheritance and next (auto-style for the following paragraph).
• Style registry — NovidentStyleRegistry resolves basedOn chains (with cycle detection via a configurable onWarning callback). copyWith() for immutable updates.
• StylesConfig — NovidentStylesConfig pairs a registry with a defaultStyle and defaultStylesByType map (e.g. 'paragraph' → body, 'heading' → heading-1).
• EditorStyles (InheritedWidget) — NovidentEditorStyles exposes the resolved style for any node through maybeOf(context)?.resolveStyle(node).
• Table styles — NovidentTableStyleDefinition with zebra striping, coloured headers, border colours, width, weight-based column layout, and row-level overrides (NovidentTableRowStyle).
• BlockStyleResolver — resolves the effective NovidentStyleDefinition for a node by checking its styleRef attribute, then the type-based default, then the global default.
• FontProvider — NovidentFontProvider supplies the list of available font families and a guaranteed non-null default font. Customisable via NovidentFontProvider.fromList().

Getting started

Add to your pubspec.yaml:

dependencies:
  novident_editor_styles: <latest>

Usage

Define named styles

import 'package:novident_editor_styles/novident_editor_styles.dart';

final registry = NovidentStyleRegistry({
  'base': NovidentStyleDefinition(
    id: 'base',
    name: 'Base',
    fontSize: 12,
    fontFamily: 'Arial',
    indent: NovidentStyleIndent.defaultLineFilter(),
  ),
  'body': NovidentStyleDefinition.nextSame(
    id: 'body',
    name: 'Body',
    basedOn: 'base',
    spacing: NovidentStyleSpacing(after: 8),
  ),
  'heading-1': NovidentStyleDefinition(
    id: 'heading-1',
    name: 'Heading 1',
    basedOn: 'base',
    fontSize: 32,
    bold: true,
    spacing: NovidentStyleSpacing(before: 24, after: 12),
    next: 'body',
  ),
});

final config = NovidentStylesConfig(
  registry: registry,
  defaultStyle: /* your base style */,
  defaultStylesByType: {
    'paragraph': /* body style */,
    'heading': /* heading-1 style */,
  },
);

Resolve a style for a node

final resolver = NovidentBlockStyleResolver(config);
final style = resolver.resolveStyle(node); // walks basedOn chain

Table styles

final tableStyle = NovidentTableStyleDefinition(
  defaultRowStyle: NovidentTableRowStyle(
    backgroundColor: Colors.white,
    borderColor: Colors.grey.shade300,
  ),
  headerStyle: NovidentTableRowStyle(
    backgroundColor: Colors.blue.shade50,
    bold: true,
  ),
  zebraStripe: true,
  zebraStripeColor: Colors.grey.shade100,
  borderWidth: 1.0,
);

Font provider

final fontProvider = NovidentFontProvider.fromList(
  ['Arial', 'Times New Roman', 'Georgia'],
  defaultFamily: 'Arial',
);

final resolvedFont = fontProvider.resolve('NonExistentFont');
// → 'Arial' (the guaranteed non-null fallback)
