BREAKING CHANGE: Major Architecture Update

• Introduced completely state-agnostic architecture for compatibility with all state management solutions
• The package now provides three ways to use VooDataGrid:
  1. VooDataGrid - Traditional controller-based (backward compatible)
  2. StatelessVooDataGrid - New state-agnostic widget (recommended for Cubit/BLoC/Riverpod)
  3. VooDataGridStateController - Provider-compatible controller

New Stateless Data Grid Widget

• Added StatelessVooDataGrid<T> - a completely state-agnostic widget that works with any state management solution
• Accepts state and callbacks directly, eliminating dependency on specific state management patterns
• Perfect for integration with Cubit, BLoC, Riverpod, GetX, or any custom state management
• Provides full control over state updates through callbacks:
  • onPageChanged, onPageSizeChanged - Pagination control
  • onFilterChanged, onFiltersCleared - Filter management
  • onSortChanged, onSortsCleared - Sort control
  • onRowSelected, onRowDeselected, onSelectAll, onDeselectAll - Selection management
  • onRefresh - Data refresh trigger
• Maintains full feature parity with the original VooDataGrid widget

State Improvements

• Both scrollbars now properly display when enabled, with horizontal scrollbar fixed at bottom

• Added TypedVooDataColumn<T, V> class for type-safe column value handling
• Provides compile-time type safety for valueGetter, valueFormatter, cellBuilder, and onCellTap
• Maintains full backward compatibility with existing VooDataColumn usage
• Example usage:

  TypedVooDataColumn<User, String>(
    field: 'name',
    label: 'Name',
    typedValueGetter: (user) => user.name,
    typedValueFormatter: (name) => name.toUpperCase(), // name is typed as String
  )
  

• Improved developer experience with better IDE autocompletion and type checking
• Enhanced documentation for value formatter explaining its purpose and usage

• Fixed OData query parameters being incorrectly nested under 'params' in URL
• OData parameters ($skip, $top, $filter, etc.) are now properly placed at the root level of the query string
• Added queryParameters field in response for cleaner HTTP client integration
• Added metadata fields to identify request standard (standard: 'odata') and method (method: 'GET')
• Ensures proper URL format: /api/endpoint?$skip=20&$top=20 instead of /api/endpoint?params[$skip]=20&params[$top]=20
• Maintains backward compatibility with existing implementations
• HTTP clients should now use requestData['queryParameters'] for OData instead of requestData['params']

  • Added missing generic type parameters to all filter-related methods in VooDataGridFilterRow
  • Methods updated: _buildFilterInput, _buildTextFilter, _buildNumberFilter, _buildNumberRangeFilter, _buildDateFilter, _buildDateRangeFilter, _buildDropdownFilter, _buildMultiSelectFilter, _buildCheckboxFilter, _getFilterOptions, and _applyFilter
  • This ensures proper type safety when using typed controllers like VooDataGridController<OrderList>
  • Users no longer need to explicitly add type parameters to columns when using typed controllers

• Improved VooApiStandard Number Range Filtering

  • Enhanced handling of between operator to properly handle null min/max values
  • Now only creates GreaterThanOrEqual filter when minimum value is not null
  • Only creates LessThanOrEqual filter when maximum value is not null
  • Allows filtering with just a minimum or just a maximum value

• VooApiStandard Field Name PascalCase

  • Fixed field names to use PascalCase after the prefix in VooApiStandard
  • When using fieldPrefix='Site' with field='siteNumber', it now correctly generates 'Site.SiteNumber' (not 'Site.siteNumber')
  • This ensures compatibility with backend APIs expecting PascalCase field names
  • Other API standards continue to use the field name as-is without case changes

Bug Fixes & Improvements

  • Removed unsupported 'Between' operator from Voo API Standard
  • Creates two separate filters for range queries as expected by the API
  • Example: Site.siteNumber between 0 and 100 now sends:
    • {fieldName: 'Site.siteNumber', value: 0, operator: 'GreaterThanOrEqual'}
    • {fieldName: 'Site.siteNumber', value: 100, operator: 'LessThanOrEqual'}

• Filter Visibility During Errors: Fixed filters disappearing when data loading fails

  • Headers and filter row now remain visible even when there's an error
  • Users can adjust filters and retry without losing their filter state
  • Error message appears in the data area while preserving the grid structure
  • Improves user experience by maintaining context during error states
