GetXify

GetXify is a modernized, actively maintained fork of GetX — an extra-light and powerful solution for Flutter. It brings high-performance state management, intelligent dependency injection, and route management while staying fully API-compatible with GetX.

What's new in v4.0.0

v4.0.0 is a landmark release, contributed entirely by @Baghdady92, who resolved 111 issues from the upstream GetX tracker and grew the test suite from 144 to 494 passing tests. Key areas improved:

Routing & navigation — preventDuplicates, nested GetRouterOutlet, middleware pipeline, browser back, predictive back, and deep links all fixed
System back & pop — PopScope / WillPopScope / canPop respected on Android, Web, and iOS edge-swipe
Dependency injection — deferred disposal, fenix registrations, route-scoped controllers, and Get.putAsync restored
State management — GetBuilder tag changes, RxList/RxSet/RxMap default constructors, bindStream leak fixed
Dialogs, sheets & snackbars — Get.close() result forwarding, idempotent SnackbarController, queue robustness
Reactive types — assign/assignAll notify exactly once, unmodifiable backing collections handled
Internationalization — scriptCode lookup, explicit locale vs device locale, CLDR plural categories

See the full CHANGELOG for details.

Why GetXify over GetX?

	GetX	GetXify
Dart SDK	legacy	^3.12.2
Flutter	legacy	>=3.44.2
Deprecated APIs	present	removed
Test suite	144 tests	494 tests
Upstream bug fixes	—	111 resolved
GetConnect (HTTP)	included	removed*

* Use dio or http instead — keeping GetXify focused on its core.

Installation

dependencies:
  getxify: ^4.0.0

import 'package:getxify/getxify.dart';

Migrating from GetX

// Before
import 'package:get/get.dart';

// After
import 'package:getxify/getxify.dart';

That's it — the API is fully compatible. Also update your pubspec.yaml:

# Before
dependencies:
  get: ...

# After
dependencies:
  getxify: ^4.0.0

Quick start

void main() => runApp(GetMaterialApp(home: Home()));

class CounterController extends GetxController {
  var count = 0.obs;
  void increment() => count++;
}

class Home extends StatelessWidget {
  final c = Get.put(CounterController());

  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return Scaffold(
      appBar: AppBar(title: Obx(() => Text('Clicks: ${c.count}'))),
      body: Center(
        child: ElevatedButton(
          onPressed: () => Get.to(OtherPage()),
          child: const Text('Go to Other'),
        ),
      ),
      floatingActionButton: FloatingActionButton(
        onPressed: c.increment,
        child: const Icon(Icons.add),
      ),
    );
  }
}

class OtherPage extends StatelessWidget {
  final c = Get.find<CounterController>();
  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return Scaffold(body: Center(child: Obx(() => Text('${c.count}'))));
  }
}

Key features

State management — reactive (.obs + Obx) and simple (GetBuilder) state managers
Route management — named routes, nested navigation, middleware, transitions, deep links
Dependency injection — smart lifecycle-aware DI with Get.put, Get.lazyPut, Get.find, bindings
Internationalization — .tr translations with CLDR plural support
Theme management — light/dark theme switching without rebuilding the tree
Platform utilities — GetPlatform, responsive breakpoints, context extensions

Example app

A full example app is in the example/ directory, demonstrating:

Nested routing with GetRouterOutlet
Route guards (EnsureAuthMiddleware, EnsureNotAuthedMiddleware)
Named routes with type-safe Routes class
Dynamic route parameters
Page transitions
Reactive state with .obs
GetxService for global state
Lazy bindings

cd example
flutter pub get
flutter run

Breaking changes from GetX

v4.0.0

Get.back() now returns bool — callers ignoring the result are unaffected
iOS back-swipe starts only near the leading edge by default — use popGesture: true to restore full-screen

v2.0.0

Removed GetUtils validation/string helpers — use validators or recase
Removed several extensions (double_extensions, duration_extensions, widget_extensions, etc.)

v1.0.0

Removed GetConnect HTTP/WebSocket module — use dio or http
Removed mini stream utilities — use standard Dart streams or rxdart
All deprecated GetX APIs removed
