This package is a timetable for Flutter that allows developers to customize each visible UI element as needed.
Every UI element display should be customizable. They are reasonable defaults, but developers should be able to override them to fit their needs. This customization is done using builder functions in the Timetable class constructor.
The Timetable class also takes a controller (TimtableController) that allows developers to manipulate the timetable using other custom functions and UI elements.
Intentionally avoiding dependencies makes this package lightweight, increases compatibility, and makes it easier to maintain.
Limiting the scope of this package to just the timetable widget avoids superfluous features and potential bloat. For example, instead of anticipating and building components, the TimtableController allows listeners and dispatches events, allowing developers to build more customized UI where needed.
