Forms

Doodle now supports Forms. They make data collection simple, while still preserving flexibility to build just the right experience. The new Form hides a lot of the complexity associated with mapping visual components to fields, state management, and validation. The result is an intuitive metaphor modeled around the idea of a constructor.

There is also a set of helpful forms controls that cover a reasonable range of data-types. These make its easy to create forms without much hassle. Forms are also extensible, allowing full customization of the data they bind to and how each fields is visualized.

Customizable Text Fields

TextFields that use the NativeTextFieldBehavior can now be customized using the new NativeTextFieldBehaviorModifier. This allows custom background and foregrounds for TextFields, which allows a wide range of styling when combined with the ability to hide borders and change background/foreground color.

APIs

• View now exposes mirrored property that indicates whether it has been horizontally flipped due to contentDirection
• New limitsChanged property to ProgressIndicator
• New list-based API for constrain layout that removes the need to …
• New math APIs for AffineTransform and underlying matrix types
• SimpleMutableListModel's constructor is no longer protected
• Moved Extractor to top-level util and deprecated local versions
• Extended toString ItemVisualizer so it takes a custom string mapper
• Encoder expanded to use Result based mappers
• Replaced NativeHyperLinkBehaviorBuilder with NativeHyperLinkStyler and made it available via Themes library so it can be used on all platforms
