Classes

DerivedPod<T>

View

The simplest possible way to render reactive widgets. An exact alias for PodBuilder, aligning perfectly with the minimalist paradigm.

Functions

derive<T>(T compute()) → WhalePod<T>

A computed state that derives its value from other reactive states. It automatically tracks dependencies and updates when they change.

mutate(void updates()) → void

Run multiple state updates in a single batch, triggering only one UI rebuild. Prevents redundant repaints when updating multiple tightly coupled states.

persistentState<T>(String key, T defaultValue) → WhalePod<T>

The simplest way to declare automatically persisting state using SharedPreferences. It syncs changes asynchronously without halting the UI thread! Note: Call await WhaleStorage.init(); in main() before declaring!

set(void updates()) → void

Helper alias to batch mutations. Exactly the same as mutate.

state<T>(T initialValue) → WhalePod<T>

The simplest way to declare state. Alias for creating a WhalePod. Example: final counter = state(0);
