enableCache property

Whether to enable parsing cache for improved performance.

When enabled (default), parsed markdown AST is cached using an LRU cache. This significantly improves performance when:

• The same markdown content is rendered multiple times
• Widgets rebuild frequently (e.g., during list scrolling)
• Multiple messages with identical content are displayed

Performance Impact:

• Cache hit: ~0.1ms (vs ~15ms for re-parsing)
• Memory overhead: ~50KB per cached entry
• Recommended for list views and chat applications

Set to false if:

• Content changes frequently (e.g., streaming updates)
• Memory is extremely constrained
• Each markdown text is unique and won't be reused

Example:

// Enable cache for static content in lists
SmoothMarkdown(
  data: message.content,
  enableCache: true, // default
)

// Disable for frequently changing content
SmoothMarkdown(
  data: liveEditingContent,
  enableCache: false,
)
