🕌 Special Features #

Respectful Handling of Sacred Words #

The package automatically excludes the word (الله) and its variations from Kashida application, preserving its traditional appearance.

// The word "الله" will never automatically receive Kashida
ArabicJustifiedText('بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم')
// Result: بـسـم الله الـرحمـن الـرحيـم (الله remains unchanged)

Automatically excluded variations:

• الله، اللَّه، ٱلله، لله، ولله، والله، بالله، تالله

Custom Word Exclusions #

You can exclude additional words from Kashida application:

ArabicJustifiedText(
  'اللهم صل وسلم وبارك على نبينا محمد وعلى آله وصحبه أجمعين',
  excludedWords: ['محمد', 'اللهم'],
)

Use cases:

• 📖 Religious texts (prophets' names, sacred terms)
• 📚 Brand names or proper nouns
• ✍️ Technical terms that should remain unchanged

🎨 Advanced Usage #

Using ArabicJustifiedRichText #

⚠️ Important: ArabicJustifiedRichText currently does not support WidgetSpan. If your text contains widgets (icons, images, etc.), the Kashida justification will be disabled and it will fall back to standard RichText rendering.

For complex text with multiple styles, colors, or interactions:

ArabicJustifiedRichText(
  enableKashida: true,
  textSpan: TextSpan(
    style: TextStyle(fontSize: 18),
    children: [
      TextSpan(text: 'النص العادي '),
      TextSpan(
        text: 'النص العريض',
        style: TextStyle(fontWeight: FontWeight.bold, color: Colors.blue),
      ),
      TextSpan(text: ' المزيد من النص'),
    ],
  ),
)
