refactor(io): replace universal_io with internal lightweight solution #237
Conversation
Replaced the universal_io package with an internal implementation to reduce dependencies and improve efficiency. Added `io_helper.dart` and `io_web.dart` for handling platform-specific I/O operations. Updated `emoji_picker.dart` and `emoji_picker_internal_utils.dart` to use the new solution. Modified `pubspec.yaml` to remove universal_io.

Is it copied from somewhere? Can you add a reference?

@Fintasys Yes, you’re right, it’s a super-minified version from universal_io. I can add the reference directly in that file if you want, but wouldn’t it be better to create a NOTICES file (similar to LICENSE) and add the license from the universal_io package there?
That way, the license is also included when a user opens the Flutter prebuilt license page, for example via showAboutDialog. Technically, you can also add it using the LicenseRegistry.addLicense method, but personally, I prefer to create a NOTICES file.
We could also do both, or just put it in the file header, whatever you prefer.

Seems you are more familiar with this than me. I would say link in the file and entry in notice should be good!

Okay, I’ve added the original license header to the file and created the NOTICE file as requested.

Description
This PR removes the dependency on
universal_ioand replaces it with an internal, lightweight implementation. This change helps reduce external dependencies while maintaining the same functionality.Additionally, this update resolves the WASM compatibility warning on pub.dev.
I encountered the same warning in my package, pro_image_editor, indicating that it is not WASM-compatible. This issue arises because my package depends on yours, which in turn depends on
universal_io.Changes
