Overview
TapDebounce is a Flutter package that simplifies preventing repeated taps on widgets, particularly buttons. By wrapping a widget with the TapDebounce widget, it disables further taps during the execution of the tap callback, reducing the risk of accidental multiple submissions. Ideal for forms, actions, or any interactive elements where rapid tapping could cause issues. It supports all major platforms and integrates seamlessly into existing Flutter projects.
