@override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
  return MicrosoftViewer(response.bodyBytes);
}

Additional information #

Microsoft office files are created on a proprietary logic and needs a lot of research to understand it.

Hence building this package needs a lot of effort to understand the logic and then convert them into Flutter widgets.

There are many 3rd party SDKs available with complex features but charge heavily for the same.

Most of the Flutter developer need just the simple viewer functionality and this package is built with that requirement.

Any financial support or knowledge sharing or effort sharing will help in building this package faster.
