Support for detecting and being notified when an object is mutated.

There are two kinds of change notifiers:

  • AsyncChangeNotifier: be notified of a continuous stream of events over time.
  • ChangeNotifier: be notified at the moment of a change. This is a direct extraction of ChangeNotifier in Flutter Core.

Some suggested uses for this library:

  • Observe objects for changes, and log when a change occurs
  • Optimize for observable collections in your own APIs and libraries instead of diffing
  • Implement simple data-binding by listening to streams

Usage

There are two general ways to detect changes:

  • Listen to ChangeNotifier.changes and be notified when an object changes
  • Use Differ.diff to determine changes between two objects
