xwidget 0.0.20

A package for building dynamic UIs in Flutter using an expressive, XML based markup language.

0.0.20 (Aug 16, 2023)

• BREAKING CHANGES: Please run dart run xwidget:generate after upgrading.
• Changed Inflater.inflate signature to pass a list of unprocessed child strings instead of a single preprocessed string. The inflater's implementation now determines how to process the strings i.e. Text inflater uses XWidgetUtils.joinStrings(text).
• Removed includeAttributes argument from XWidget.inflateXmlElementChildren signature. Use excludeAttributes argument instead.
• Removed XWidget.inflateFromXml convenience method. Use XWidget.inflateFromXmlElement instead.
• Added an excution option to the Controller inflater that specifies its inflation method, either asynchronous or synchronous. Valid values are async and sync. The default is sync.
• Minor performance improvements when setting or retrieving Dependencies values and parsing certain attribute types.
• Added XWidgetUtils.joinStrings utility function.
• Added fragment XML caching to improve inflater performance. Use XWidget.xmlCacheEnabled to enable or disable the cache. Enabled by default.
