animated_streaming_markdown

animated_streaming_markdown is a Flutter package for chat-like Markdown interfaces where text arrives progressively and the UI needs stable incremental updates.

The package has two main layers:

  • MarkdownStreamParser converts full snapshots or appended chunks into typed render blocks.
  • AnimatedStreamingMarkdown renders those blocks with token reveal animation, link handling, and optional Markdown-aware selection copy.

Use it when a model, server, or local process streams Markdown into a Flutter surface and you want to avoid reparsing and rebuilding the whole experience by hand.

Key Capabilities​

  • Incremental replace and append parse operations.
  • Typed MarkdownParseResult.blocks output.
  • Flutter renderer for lists, tables, code blocks, HTML blocks, footnotes, and common inline Markdown.
  • Per-token animation timing and custom token animation builders.
  • Optional Markdown-aware selection copy.
  • Native tree-sitter parser integration on Android, iOS, macOS, Linux, and Windows.

Platform Support​

The package is built for Flutter native targets:

  • Android
  • iOS
  • macOS
  • Linux
  • Windows

Web imports are guarded by stubs where possible, but web is not an officially supported rendering target.
