PodCollectionBuilder class

Observes a "source of pods" — a source Listenable whose changes imply that the set of inner pods to watch may have changed — and rebuilds when either:

  1. the source fires, or
  2. any pod currently returned by innerPods fires.

Subscription lifecycle for the inner pods is managed automatically — when the source changes, the widget re-invokes innerPods, diffs the new set against the current subscriptions by identity, adds new listeners, removes gone ones, and rebuilds.

Example

// `pJobServices` is a pod whose value is a list of services, each
// exposing a `.pData` pod. Rebuild when the list changes OR when any
// listed service's `.pData` fires.
PodCollectionBuilder(
  source: pJobServices,
  innerPods: () => pJobServices.getValue().map((s) => s.pData).toList(),
  builder: (context) => MyList(jobs: resolveCurrentJobs()),
)

Type compatibility

Accepts any Listenable — including Pod (via WeakChangeNotifier) and stock Flutter ValueNotifier/ChangeNotifier. For WeakChangeNotifiers the widget automatically uses addStrongRefListener so the internal tear-off isn't GC'd between fires; for plain Listenables it falls back to addListener.

Properties

builder WidgetBuilder
Builds the subtree. Rebuilt on every source fire and every inner-pod fire.
final
hashCode int
The hash code for this object.
no setterinherited
innerPods List<Listenable> Function()
Returns the current list of inner pods to subscribe to. Identity is significant — the builder uses identical() to diff against the previous subscription set.
final
key Key?
Controls how one widget replaces another widget in the tree.
finalinherited
runtimeType Type
A representation of the runtime type of the object.
no setterinherited
source Listenable
The source pod. Fires signal "the collection of inner pods may have changed." innerPods is invoked once at State.initState and again after every source fire.
final

createState() State<PodCollectionBuilder>
Creates the mutable state for this widget at a given location in the tree.
override
debugDescribeChildren() List<DiagnosticsNode>
Returns a list of DiagnosticsNode objects describing this node's children.
inherited

Invoked when a nonexistent method or property is accessed.
inherited
toDiagnosticsNode({String? name, DiagnosticsTreeStyle? style}) DiagnosticsNode
Returns a debug representation of the object that is used by debugging tools and by DiagnosticsNode.toStringDeep.
inherited
toString({DiagnosticLevel minLevel = DiagnosticLevel.info}) String
A string representation of this object.
inherited
toStringDeep({String prefixLineOne = '', String? prefixOtherLines, DiagnosticLevel minLevel = DiagnosticLevel.debug, int wrapWidth = 65}) String
Returns a string representation of this node and its descendants.
inherited
toStringShallow({String joiner = ', ', DiagnosticLevel minLevel = DiagnosticLevel.debug}) String
Returns a one-line detailed description of the object.
inherited
toStringShort() String
A short, textual description of this widget.
