Changelog

1.0.1

No public API changes — packaging, documentation, and quality improvements.

Documentation

• Rewrote README with badges, full feature list, demo placeholders, expanded usage examples, complete API reference, architecture notes, and roadmap.
• Added CONTRIBUTING.md, CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md, GitHub issue templates, and pull-request template.
• Added doc/CAPTURE.md with instructions for recording the demo media used by the README and pub.dev screenshots.
• Added doc/architecture.md explaining the LayerLink / CompositedTransformFollower follower-mode mechanism.
• Filled in dartdoc for every public member (typedefs, classes, constructors, fields, methods).

Quality

• Strengthened analysis_options.yaml: enabled public_member_api_docs, package_api_docs, prefer_single_quotes, require_trailing_commas, sort_constructors_first, sort_pub_dependencies, use_super_parameters, always_declare_return_types, unawaited_futures, and strict type inference (strict-casts, strict-inference, strict-raw-types).
• Reordered class members so constructors come first.
• Added widget tests for drag-to-open/close, backdrop tap-to-close, sticky positioning, custom pillBuilder, custom backdropBuilder, and RTL panel mirroring.
• Added unit tests for DefaultPill (chevron direction in LTR/RTL, tap callback, fade-out as animation progresses).

CI / publishing

• Added GitHub Actions: ci.yml (format + analyze + test on push and PR), example-build.yml (verify the example app still builds), and publish.yml (tag-driven pub.dev release via OIDC trusted publishing).
• Added .github/dependabot.yml for weekly GitHub Actions and pub dependency updates.

Pub.dev metadata

• Added topics (drawer, navigation, animation, rtl, ui), screenshots, and documentation fields to pubspec.yaml.

1.0.0

Initial release.

• SlidingPillDrawer widget that wraps any page with a draggable side drawer.
• Two placement modes:
  • Sticky — pill pinned at a fixed vertical offset (stickyTop).
  • Follower — pill attached to a SlidingPillDrawerTarget via a LayerLink, so it scrolls with the body.
• SlidingPillDrawerController for imperative open() / close() / toggle() and reading value / isOpen.
• Horizontal drag on the pill moves the panel 1:1 with the finger and snaps based on final position.
• Full RTL / LTR support via Directionality.
• Customizable pill via pillBuilder, or replace only the default text via defaultPillText.
• Tunable panelWidthFraction and animationDuration.
• Zero external dependencies.
