world_countries 1.5.0

Sealed world data in form of Flutter widgets (country, phone, currency pickers, etc.).

1.5.0

This is the last minor version update with significant changes for some time. The next steps will be patches at most. Currently working on v2.0.0 which will bring new data and a big feature there, very likely without breaking the existing API.

NEW FEATURES

• 🎉 All translations in the eco-system packages now support all GlobalMaterialLocalizations and GlobalCupertinoLocalizations locales.
• 🦾 Countries translations now also support all GlobalMaterialLocalization + GlobalCupertinoLocalizations locales.
• The locale parameter in the maybeTranslation method is now nullable.
• The permissive constructors are now even more permissive, only name and code parameters remain required.
• Changed Vatican city unMember field to false and fix Cape Verde coordinates Link
• Added new DurationExtension to the helpers library.
• Added new TypedLocaleExtension with a copyWithTranslationsCache(Async) method.
• Added asyncTranslationCacheProcessing parameter for the TypedLocaleDelegate.
• Added withTranslationsCache constructor for TypedLocale and IsoLocale.
• Set default value for startWithSearch in the country and phone code pickers also to false, to unify behavior across the pickers.

1.4.0

NEW FEATURES

• 🦾 Language translations now also support all GlobalMaterialLocalization + GlobalCupertinoLocalizations locales.
• You can now provide translation caches list in TypedLocaleDelegate and it's new selectiveCache constructor. This is useful when you don't want to cache the translations for the specific unused ISO objects. For example you are only using country pickers, so you might not need currency an language translations. In this case you can provide only countriesForTranslationCache for the countries translation cache.
• The TypedLocale (so and IsoLocale) has new fields for storing translations cache (see the point above).
• The TypedLocale (so and IsoLocale) are now inherited from BasicLocale (so and JsonEncodable), so they can be used in the translations directly.
• Added copyWith method in in TypedLocale (so and IsoLocale).
• Added new internationalName getter in IsoStandardized interface, representing the international name of the ISO object.
• Added new UpperCaseMap class, that UpperCaseIsoMap extends, a simple version of UpperCaseIsoMap without key length checks and IsoStandardized values requirement.
• The map in the RegionalBloc is now UpperCaseMap (with all it's benefits).
• Added new maybeFromAcronym factory method in the RegionalBloc.
• Added new BasicLocale class, that TranslatedName extends. Representing a type-safe world locale (language, country/region code and script).
• Deprecated maybeTranslate and translate methods for translated classes (use maybeTranslation and translation instead).
• Added new commonNamesCacheMap method for all ISO based sealed classes collections, which allows to create a cache map of common names translations for the given BasicLocale.

BREAKING CHANGES

Because of the BasicLocale changes (described above), translation() and maybeTranslation() methods on the Translated classes now require BasicLocale input. If you are not using those methods directly, then you don't need to change anything, otherwise you will need to do small adjustment - wrap the content of those methods with a BasicLocale.

Before:

print(iso?.maybeTranslation(LangPor()));

After:

print(iso?.maybeTranslation(BasicLocale(LangPor())));

Or just:

1. Enable Regular Expressions in your IDE's Find and Replace panel.
2. In the Find field, enter the regex: (translation\()(.*)(\))
3. In the Replace field, enter: $1BasicLocale($2)$3
4. Execute the replace operation.

1.3.1

NEW FEATURES

• Use of UX/UI interpretation of Hick's Law for conditionally showing search bar in the SearchableIndexedListViewBuilder - If no showSearchBar value specified, it uses PickersThemeData.showHeader value as before but instead of falling back to default hardcoded false value it fallbacks to items count condition if (items.length > 5).
• PickersThemeData.showHeader is now nullable.
• Fix thousands separator for CHF.
• codeOther is no longer nullable (in all IsoStandardized classes).
• Added new compile time constant and case-insensitive code maps (UpperCaseIsoMaps) in every ISO class (accessible as static constants via .map, .codeMap, .codeNumericMap, etc.).
• Factory constructors and methods now using those maps if no (optional) array is provided there.
• Factory constructors and methods in IsoStandardized classes now allow non-String inputs - any Object, for example you can now use StringBuffer or Enum instances directly:

 enum IsoEnum {de, fr, ar} // On .fromCode(IsoEnum.de) call it will use "DE" input.

or you can basically use any custom class with toString() override:

class CustomIsoCodeClass {
 const CustomIsoCodeClass({String code = '123', this.foo}) : _code = code;
 final String _code;
 final Foo? foo;

 @override
 String toString() => _code; // Has to override toString() with ISO value.
}

// On .fromAnyCode(CustomIsoCodeClass(code: ' 321 ')) call it will use "321" input.

REFACTOR

• Refactored asserts in maybeMapIsoCode method.
• Fixed typos in CHANGELOG and README.

1.2.0

NEW FEATURES

• Added new static maybeFrom* methods and refactored old ones. They are also now accept any Object? input instead of just String?.
• Added new and refactored old tests with a performance in mind.
• Added new firstIsoWhere* extensions on ISO iterables.
• Improved annotations.
• Added is* boolean getters for all ISO objects, for example:

if (isoObject.isFra) return _onFrench();

is more readable and shorter equivalent of this check:

if (isoObject == const LangFra()) return _onFrench();

1.1.0

NEW FEATURES

• Added new constructor called permissive - which allow the creation of custom class instances that are not fully compatible with the ISO standard.

• Translated class is now sealed - which means you can now directly compare instances of different ISO classes directly (for example in switch statements).

• Added theme extensions that you can specify in your ThemeData to provide global theme to your pickers. You can find PickersThemeData, CountryTileThemeData, CurrencyTileThemeData and LanguageTileThemeData:

MaterialApp(
  ...
  theme: ThemeData(
    /// And also [CurrencyTileThemeData], [LanguageTileThemeData]...
    extensions: const <ThemeExtension>[
      PickersThemeData(primary: true), // Specify global pickers theme.
      CountryTileThemeData(emojiFamily: EmojiFamily.twemoji),
    ],
  )
);

This way you can specify for example that all your pickers lists are primary and define globally use of Twemoji as main flags font emoji family in all Country/Phone pickers in the app.

1.0.0

🎉 First anniversary and first stable release!

NEW FEATURES

• Added new getter for TranslatedName name called common, which might be useful in some cases when name is being used by a parent class.

• Added a lot of translations from the Symfony.

• Currencies translations now support all GlobalMaterialLocalizations and GlobalCupertinoLocalizations locales.

• Updated LICENSE.

• Added CLI tool for removing unused emoji font families on the Web platform dart run world_countries:clean_build [--keep twemoji,notoemoji,openmoji]

• Added fromSubtags constructors for IsoLocale and TypedLocale classes.

• Added defaultLocaleMapResolution for a TypedLocaleDelegate that maps:

  • fil Filipino (Pilipino) to tl Tagalog.
  • gsw Swiss German Alemannic Alsatian to de_CH German (Switzerland).
  • bs_Cyrl Bosnian (written in the Cyrillic script) to sr Serbian.

BREAKING CHANGES

• Replaced old FiatCurrency.list with a new FiatCurrency.listExtended.
• Removed FiatCurrency.regularList (please use FiatCurrency.list instead).
• Marked Croatian Kuna as Deprecated (currencies).
• Moved helpers of world_country package to separate library: BuildContextExtension, FunctionalPlatform, NameTextInput, ClearButton and UiConstants. To migrate just use IDE suggestions or manually replace old references:

import "package:world_countries/world_countries.dart";

to a new one:

import "package:world_countries/helpers.dart";

0.9.0

NEW FEATURES

• Added new interface IsoTranslated which combines Translated and IsoStandardizedinterfaces.
• Added standard* static constants in the WorldCountry class referencing different names of the ISO 3166-1 standard.
• Added standard* static constants in the FiatCurrency class referencing different names of the ISO 4217 standard.
• Improved documentation in README, added FAQ and demo web-site (Flutter WASM).

REFACTORING

• Removed NavigatorContextExtension from exports, so you don't need to specify it no longer via hide.

0.8.0

NEW FEATURES

• Added new factories to ISO classes - fromAnyCode, which do the length and type checks and redirects to other fromCode\* constructors
• Added new static methods to ISO classes - maybeFromAnyCode, which works same way as fromAnyCode, but doesn't throws StateErrors if no currency object is found.
• Added maybeMapIsoCode method to String extensions, which is used under the hood of (maybe)fromAnyCode.
• Added the TypedLocaleDelegate class, which can be used in the localizationsDelegates (such as in MaterialApp). It attempts to convert the string-based Locale to a strongly typed TypedLocale, which is then used in all pickers to provide translations for country/currency/language names. The detected TypedLocale? is also accessible via TypedLocaleDelegate.maybeOf(context) or simply context.maybeLocale.
• All pickers can have a local translation override via the translation parameter (which will be used instead of the TypedLocale translation).
• Translated classes now also have translate() and maybeTranslate() methods to translate it's data (country/currency/language names).

REFACTOR

• Slightly changed UI of default picker's tiles - added padding on top of the leading widget and swapped title with subtitle (because of translations provided to title).
• Named classes now has boolean flag (short, defaults to true).
• TranslatedName class by default returns .name value on toString().
• Refactored dollar symbols in toString() methods.

BREAKING CHANGE

• Country and phone code pickers now using TypedLocale as translation parameter (to migrate just wrap your previous language there with IsoLocale()).

0.7.0

This is a general update that synchronizes underlying Dart package updates (related to translations and interfaces), as a preparation for a bigger upcoming update for localization delegates.

NEW FEATURES

• WorldCountry class now contains way more translations of language name to other languages (79 translations for each language minimum).
• Refactored factory constructors - there is an optional parameter to provide custom list.
• Added regularList getter for the list of regular currencies (excludes 10 currencies from the specialPurposeList).
• FiatCurrency class now contains translations of language name to other languages (79 translations for each language minimum).
• Those translations are also accessible from the translation and maybeTranslation methods.
• Added TranslatedName class for the translations.
• Implement new abstract interfaces for currencies: Named and Translated.
• Added a new sealed class called Script, based on the ISO 15924 standard.
• The NaturalLanguage class now contains information about scripts (writing systems) and translations of the language name to other languages.

FIX

• Fixed several English currency names.

0.6.0

NEW FEATURES

• Added new interfaces (IsoStandardized, JsonEncodable) and typedef (JsonMap) to the model.
• Refactoring in existing functional methods (sorting params to match list sorting).
• Translations are now List<TranslatedName> instead of List<CountryName>, however CountryName is just an extension on top of TranslatedName (you can reference to name instead of common and fullName instead of official). There will be way more translations provided in upcoming version 0.7.0.
• Renaming of extensions to follow the eco-system naming pattern.
