flutter_table_plus 1.13.0

flutter_table_plus: ^1.13.0 copied to clipboard

• BREAKING CHANGE: Removed dynamic row height feature for performance and stability.
  • Removed RowHeightMode enum and rowHeightMode parameter.
  • Removed minRowHeight parameter.
  • Removed TextHeightCalculator utility class.
  • All tables now use fixed row height from theme (reverted to v1.9.0 behavior).
  • This change resolves scroll position issues with large datasets and improves overall performance.

• FEAT: Added support for dynamic row height.
  • Introduced RowHeightMode.dynamic to allow rows to resize based on content.
  • Added minRowHeight to control the minimum height of a row.
  • Added a new example page to demonstrate dynamic row height.
• FEAT: Improved sorting with merged rows.
  • Merged groups are now dynamically generated based on the sorted data, ensuring they are correctly displayed after sorting.
• REFACTOR: MergedRowGroup now uses rowKeys instead of originalIndices for a more robust implementation.
• FIX: Corrected the alternate row color logic to use the render index, ensuring correct striping after sorting.
• FIX: Fixed an issue where the background color of rows was not being applied correctly.

• IMPROVEMENT: Improved focusing on modification for editable cells.

• FEAT: Introduced merged row functionality.
  • Added MergedRowGroup and MergeCellConfig models to define row merging behavior.
  • Implemented FlutterTablePlus and TablePlusBody support for mergedGroups.
  • Enabled selection for merged row groups, treating them as single selectable units.
  • Added editing capabilities for merged cells, allowing specific merged cells to be editable.
• IMPROVEMENT: Enhanced editable cell experience.
  • Improved styling and behavior of editable text fields in merged cells to match regular cells.
  • Implemented auto-save on focus loss for editable cells.
  • Added cellContainerPadding to TablePlusEditableTheme for consistent padding around editable cell containers.
• CHORE: Removed unnecessary code.
  • Cleaned up operator == and hashCode overrides from MergedRowGroup and TablePlusColumn.
• DOCS: Added new examples for merged row features.
  • Created simple_merged_example.dart for basic merged rows.
  • Created complex_merged_example.dart for advanced merging scenarios (multiple columns, custom content, multiple groups).
  • Created selectable_merged_example.dart to demonstrate selection with merged rows.
  • Created editable_merged_example.dart to showcase editing functionality with merged rows.

• CHORE: Apply dart format for code consistency.

• FEAT: Dynamic row height calculation based on content.
• FEAT: Scrollbar visibility is now dynamically adjusted based on content height.
• REFACTOR: Removed deprecated code and updated to the latest syntax.

• FEAT: Add header tooltip behavior to table columns.
  • Introduces a new headerTooltipBehavior property to TablePlusColumn for controlling tooltip display on column headers.
  • Updates header rendering logic to show tooltips based on overflow or always/never settings.

• Features
  • Added tooltipBehavior to TablePlusColumn to control when tooltips are displayed (always, onOverflowOnly, never).
• Improvements
  • Added TextOverflowDetector to accurately determine when text overflows in a cell.
• Deprecations
  • Deprecated showTooltipOnOverflow in TablePlusColumn in favor of the new tooltipBehavior property.

• Features
  • Added noDataWidget property to FlutterTablePlus to allow displaying a custom widget when the data source is empty.
• Improvements
  • The header sorting functionality is now automatically disabled when there is no data, preventing unnecessary sort actions.
• Documentation
  • Added a new guide, EMPTY_STATE.md, to explain how to use the noDataWidget feature.
  • Updated README.md to include the new feature and documentation link.

• Documentation
  • Added documentation for the visible property in TablePlusColumn to control column visibility.
  • Updated README.md to include column visibility in the feature list.
• Improvements
  • Added a comprehensive example for managing column visibility, including UI controls and dialogs.
  • Enhanced the example application with helper functions for column state management.

• Added Selected Text Style
  • Added selectedTextStyle to TablePlusTheme to allow customizing the text style of selected rows.

• Enhanced Theming and Styling Capabilities

  • Advanced Header Customization: TablePlusHeaderTheme now includes a decoration property, allowing full control over the header's appearance (e.g., borders, gradients, shadows) using BoxDecoration.
  • Individual Header Cell Styling: Added cellDecoration to TablePlusHeaderTheme for styling individual header cells.
  • Flexible Row Interaction Effects: TablePlusSelectionTheme has been updated to provide more granular control over row interaction effects:
    • Set hoverColor, splashColor, and highlightColor independently for both normal and selected rows (e.g., rowHoverColor, selectedRowHoverColor).
    • If these properties are left null, the default Flutter framework effects will be used, enhancing consistency and predictability.
    • The enableRowInteractionEffects property has been removed for a simpler and more direct API.
  • Customizable Header Divider: Added dividerThickness to TablePlusHeaderTheme to control the thickness of the header's bottom divider.

• Improved Feature Flexibility

  • Custom Row ID Key: Added a rowIdKey property to FlutterTablePlus, allowing developers to specify which key in their data map should be used as a unique row identifier. This removes the previous requirement of having a mandatory 'id' key.
  • Text Overflow and Tooltip: TablePlusColumn now supports a textOverflow property (ellipsis, clip, fade). When ellipsis is used, a tooltip automatically appears on hover to show the full text.

• Internal Code Refinements

  • Theme Structure Refactoring: Theme-related classes have been organized into separate files (header_theme.dart, body_theme.dart, etc.) for better code structure and maintainability.

• Added Single Selection Mode

  • Introduced SelectionMode.single to allow only one row to be selected at a time.
  • When a new row is selected in single selection mode, the previous selection is automatically cleared.
  • The "Select All" checkbox is now automatically hidden when in single selection mode for a cleaner UI.

• Refactored Example Page

  • The main example page (table_example_page.dart) has been significantly refactored for better readability and maintainability.
  • Key UI components like the app bar actions, status indicators, and documentation sections have been extracted into their own reusable widgets:
    • TableAppBarActions
    • TableStatusIndicators
    • ExampleDocumentation
  • This improves code organization and makes the example easier to understand and adapt.

• Enhanced Feature Control Options

  • Added ability to completely disable column reordering by setting onColumnReorder: null. This removes drag handles and disables drag-and-drop functionality entirely.
  • Added ability to completely disable sorting by setting onSort: null. This hides all sort icons and disables sorting click handlers for all columns.
  • Improved conditional feature control for better user experience and permissions-based functionality.

• Documentation Improvements

  • Added comprehensive Column Reordering section to ADVANCED_COLUMNS.md with complete implementation examples.
  • Enhanced SORTING.md with detailed comparison between sortable: false and onSort: null.
  • Updated README.md with new "Conditional Feature Control" section and examples.
  • Added practical examples for dynamic feature enabling/disabling based on user permissions.

• Enabled Simultaneous Selection and Editing
  • Removed the restriction that prevented isSelectable and isEditable from being active at the same time.
  • Now, rows can be selected even when cell editing is enabled, providing greater flexibility.

• Added Configurable Sort Cycle Order
  • FlutterTablePlus now includes a sortCycle property to define the sequence of sorting states (ascending, descending, none).
  • The default cycle is ascending -> descending -> none.
  • This allows for more flexible sorting behaviors, such as disabling the none state or changing the order.

• Added Hint Text and Style for Editable Cells
  • TablePlusColumn now includes an optional hintText property to display placeholder text in editable TextFields.
  • TablePlusEditableTheme now includes an optional hintStyle property to customize the style of the hint text.
• Added Row Double-Tap and Secondary-Tap Callbacks
  • FlutterTablePlus now provides onRowDoubleTap and onRowSecondaryTap callbacks for row-level gesture detection.
  • These callbacks are active when isSelectable is true and isEditable is false.
  • CustomInkWell now correctly handles onDoubleTap and onSecondaryTap events without interfering with onTap.
  • Ensured CustomInkWell's internal state is preserved during setState by adding key: ValueKey(rowId).

• Update README.md

• Added Cell Editing Feature

Features #

• Editable Cells: Introduced isEditable property in FlutterTablePlus to enable or disable cell editing.
• Column-Specific Editing: Added editable property to TablePlusColumn to control which columns can be edited.
