ndonkoHenri · 2026-04-17T09:40:42Z

Summary by Sourcery

Remove deprecated module-level margin, padding, border, and border_radius helper functions and update usage across examples and docs to the class-based APIs.

Enhancements:

Clean up control modules by deleting long-deprecated module-level helpers for Margin, Padding, Border, and BorderRadius.

Documentation:

Update tutorials, cookbook recipes, and blog examples to use the new Border and BorderRadius class helpers and current Alignment API names instead of deprecated module-level helpers.

Chores:

Tidy solitaire and example code by reordering imports and improving docstrings and comments around drag-and-drop behavior.

Import grouping/order is inconsistent with other solitaire tutorial examples: third-party imports (e.g., import flet as ft) are typically placed before local imports (from card import Card, from slot import Slot). Consider reordering to match the established pattern used in sdk/python/examples/tutorials/solitaire/solitaire-classes/solitaire.py and solitaire-fanned-piles/solitaire.py.

                        border_radius=5,
                        content=ft.Text("1", size=20),
-                        alignment=ft.alignment.center,
+                        alignment=ft.Alignment.CENTER,
                    ),


There’s still a later code snippet in this doc using the deprecated ft.alignment.center (around line 88). For consistency with the updated snippets (and to avoid showing deprecated API in the cookbook), update that remaining occurrence to ft.Alignment.CENTER as well.

+            # slot == None when the cards are dealt and

Typo in the comment: “need to be place” should be “need to be placed”.
