(These are changes cherry-picked from in-flight branches since they are
more independent and could be helpful even without those changes.)
- Change RouteBuilder's signature to take a single argument in which the
other fields are placed, so that we can keep iterating on those
arguments without having to break compatibility each time. Also, this
makes defining route builders much simpler (only one argument to
ignore rather than a variable number).
- Expose the next performance to RouteBuilders, since sometimes the
route itself might not be where it's used.
- Allow BuildContext to be used to walk children, just like it can for
ancestors
- Allow BuildContext to be used to get the Widget of the current
BuildContext
- Allow StatefulComponentElement to be referenced with a type
specialisation so that you don't have to cast when you know what the
type you're dealing with actually is.
Make it possible for named routes to be generated on the fly.
To demonstrate this, you can now long-press a stock to open it.
Next steps:
- transitions between (named) states that follow full material logic,
e.g. in the case of the stock row to stock page transition, expanding
the row into a raised sheet of material and expanding it to fit the
screen, leaving the toolbar in place but cross-fading the old
contents to the new contents.
- more information in the stock view.
While I was here I also made Material have an opinion about default text
style, so if you forget to set one, it just uses body1.
Also, fixed bugs introduced recently that made RouteState and MenuRoute
not work properly.
Instead of having to manage the popup menu from your app's build
function, you now just call showPopupMenu() with the menu's position and
it takes care of everything for you.
This solves the problem that the popup menu was trying to mutate the
state of the navigator from within its own initState() function.
Also, remove the "route" argument to RouteBase.build() since it equals
"this" by definition...
Also, remove ModalOverlay, and instead put that logic in the navigator.
Also, introduce Colors and Typography to hold the material colors and the
typography declarations. Previously we expected clients of these libraries to
import them into a namespace, but that doesn't play nice with re-exporting them
from material.dart.
Move the animation libraries into src/animation and change importers to use
package:sky/animation.dart. Also, move scheduler.dart into the animation
library so that the animation library can be self-contained.
Similar to widgets.dart, rendering.dart exports the entire rendering layer.
Also, update the examples to use rendering.dart and widgets.dart. Also clean up
some exports so that the examples have more sensible imports.
Sadly, box.dart has grown much longer than 1000 lines. This patch splits it up
into several files based on the class hierarchy. Fortunately, many of these
classes are loosely coupled to each other.
