Syncfusion Flutter widgets are written natively in Dart to help you create rich, high-quality applications for iOS, Android, Web, Windows, macOS, and Linux from a single code base.
In this blog, we’ll explore the exciting new features and controls coming with our Essential Studio® 2024 Volume 4 release.
All our Syncfusion Flutter widgets will be updated to support WebAssembly as a compilation target for building web apps.
In the 2024 volume 4 release, you can expect the following range of widget samples utilizing AI to enhance various features and functionalities:
The Flutter Charts widget will employ AI to forecast future data trends in financial and stock charts.
The Flutter DataGrid will use AI for anomaly detection and predictive data entry, improving data accuracy.
The Flutter Calendar widget will offer suggestions based on user behavior and historical patterns. It will also implement conflict detection to notify users of overlapping events, improving time management.
The Flutter PDF Viewer will smartly auto-fill fields by understanding the context of copied content.
The new Flutter AI AssistView will be a highly customizable and feature-rich solution for integrating conversational AI capabilities into your Flutter apps. Its key features include:
Begin your chat experience with a customizable placeholder that can scroll alongside messages or remain fixed.
Utilize a list of AssistMessage objects to manage and differentiate between user requests and AI responses effectively, each styled with distinct message bubbles. We can also customize the appearance and behavior of user and AI messages, including headers, footers, and toolbar options. Position chat bubbles to align with your app’s design preferences—whether left-aligned, right-aligned, or set to default.
Facilitate smooth user interactions with a customized input field for composing messages, complemented by an action button for sending. This will keep users engaged while they await responses with an elegant and customizable loading indicator.
