Pull Request Overview

This PR consolidates three separate properties (src, src_base64, src_bytes) into a single intelligent src property that can automatically detect and handle URLs, file paths, base64-encoded strings, and raw bytes. This is a breaking change that simplifies the API across multiple controls (Image, Lottie, Audio, CircleAvatar, DecorationImage, Canvas.Image).

Key changes:

• Python API now uses Union[str, bytes] for the src property
• Dart implementation uses ResolvedAssetSource utility to intelligently parse the source
• Documentation and examples updated to reflect the unified API
• Tests updated to use the new consolidated property

[Copilot]

The src property should be Optional[Union[str, bytes]] instead of requiring it, as there may be cases where error_content needs to be shown without a source. Looking at other controls like canvas/image.py which uses Optional[Union[str, bytes]], this should be consistent.

[Copilot]

Similar to Image control, the src property should be Optional[Union[str, bytes]] for consistency and to allow for optional rendering with error_content fallback.

Suggested change

	src: Union[str, bytes]
	src: Optional[Union[str, bytes]]

[Copilot]

The isBase64 getter performs two operations: normalization and decoding. If this is called frequently, consider caching the result or avoiding the decode step if normalization is sufficient for validation. The decode operation allocates memory that's immediately discarded.

[Copilot]

[nitpick] The edge case handling for empty needle returns 0, which could be confusing. Consider documenting why empty needle returns 0 (typically means 'found at start') or consider returning -1 for consistency with 'not found' semantics.

[Copilot]

Using listEquals for comparing potentially large audio byte arrays on every update could be expensive. Consider using a hash or length check as a quick first pass before doing full byte comparison, or storing a hash of the bytes for efficient comparison.
