widget_chat 0.0.19

Drop-in AI chatbot widget for Flutter, FlutterFlow & web — rich content, tools, multimodal, multi-language, dashboard-configured.

0.0.19

• Fix — dashboard show_avatar is now respected. The server's show_avatar was dropped on parse, so bot messages always showed the avatar even when a tenant turned it off in the dashboard. It's now parsed and honoured (AND-merged with the host value).
• New — hideBarsOnScroll. Optional auto-hide of the chat header + message-input bars as the visitor scrolls up through history; they slide back on the way down. Configured from the dashboard (hide_bars_on_scroll) or the host.
• New — headerBuilder on ChatWidget. Render a fully custom chat header, with access to the resolved name, avatar, online status, theme mode and every action callback (via ChatHeaderData).
• Improve — adaptive carousel height. Carousel cards are sized to their real content + image aspect ratio (capped) instead of a fixed 480 px, so a minimal image+title card no longer over-crops into a full-screen portrait.

0.0.18

• Brand-true accent in both themes: the chat ColorScheme.primary is now pinned to the host-configured brand color instead of the MD3 tonal derivative ColorScheme.fromSeed produces. In dark mode the seed used to land on a pale pastel of the brand (e.g. crimson -> washed pink), which filled primary rich-content action buttons and the send button with an off-brand, low-contrast color; filled accents now render the exact configured color with white ink.

0.0.17

• Dark mode + theme switcher: the chat now supports Light / Dark / System theming. A "Theme" item in the header more-options menu lets visitors switch modes (gated by the new show_theme_toggle config flag); the choice persists per project. Dark mode fixes the previous white-header / black-on-black rendering inside dark host apps.
• Per-mode colours: new chat_appearance_dark config block (alongside the existing chat_appearance, now the light set) lets tenants configure the surface/bubble/text palette separately for dark mode. default_theme_mode (light/dark/system) sets the initial mode. BotConfiguration gains chatAppearanceDark, showThemeToggle, defaultThemeMode.
• Themed chrome: the overflow menu, confirmation dialogs (e.g. clear history), and snackbars now follow the active theme instead of hardcoded white/light surfaces.

0.0.16

• Web: images now fall back to an HTML <img> element when a cross-origin byte-fetch is CORS-blocked, so attachments and rich-content images render on the web embed and dashboard preview even when the CDN lacks an Access-Control-Allow-Origin header.
• pub.dev: added topics (chatbot, chat, ai, widget, flutterflow), a documentation link, a screenshots gallery, and README badges + a widget screenshot for better discovery and presentation.

0.0.15

• Launcher: when "Use avatar as icon" is on, the avatar now renders at the configured Icon size, centred, with the launcher Background colour filling the button around it — matching the dashboard. Previously the avatar was rendered full-bleed at double size, covering the Background colour entirely (so a transparent/non-square avatar never revealed it). The configured Background colour is also passed through the avatar, so transparent PNGs reveal it instead of the bot's primary colour.

0.0.14

• Primary colour can now be "Automatic": when the server/host leaves color unset (null), the chat inherits the host app's theme colour (ColorScheme.primary) instead of a forced hex. BotConfiguration.color no longer defaults to #3B82F6, and a null server colour preserves the host colour rather than clobbering it. Pass an explicit hex to override.

0.0.13

• Fix: the server's configured font family was ignored (always rendered Roboto). RemoteConfig now reads the backend's snake_case font_family key instead of camelCase, so tenant font settings apply to the live widget and the dashboard live preview

0.0.12

• Message bubbles: ChatGPT-style inline action row (copy / like / dislike) on bot replies, replacing the long-press menu that conflicted with text selection
• Copy now yields human-readable text for rich-content cards (fallback text / component strings) instead of raw response JSON
• Whole-message text selection via a single SelectionArea (drag across markdown blocks and card text) instead of block-by-block
• Persist per-user like/dislike across reloads: the bubble restores the thumbs highlight from the history endpoint's my_rating
• Dislike opens the existing "what went wrong" reason sheet directly from the action row

0.0.11

• Raise dependency lower bounds to match the generated client (pub.dev lower-bound compatibility)
• Apply dart format and lint auto-fixes across the package
• Remove a stale repository URL from pubspec

0.0.10

• Multimodal: visitors can attach photos (gallery/camera), auto-resized and sent inline or via a host-provided uploader
• Rich content: markdown, cards, carousels, product lists, image galleries, button groups, and color-swatch pickers
• Tools & actions: custom HTTP tools, host-page callbacks/deep-links, open-URL / send-message / request-input buttons
• Multi-language: 46 translated UI locales, live in-chat language switching with optional auto-detect, per-locale content
• Compliance & privacy: AI-disclosure notice (optional one-time acknowledgement), message reporting (Good/Bad response), data-reuse notice, user export/clear, pseudonymized user ids
• Security: HMAC identity verification (signed user ids), allowed-origins/CORS
• Theming: full chat palette (surface, bubbles, text), Google Fonts, customizable floating launcher
• Sound: per-event effects with master toggle + volume
• fullPage mode, read-only mode, and host userContext / authToken forwarding
• Remove the example's internal compliance path dependency
