Methods

addListener(SintStateUpdate listener) → Disposer
Register a closure to be called when the object notifies its listeners.
inherited
addListenerId(Object? key, SintStateUpdate listener) → Disposer
inherited
checkForReleaseNotes({String? lastSeenVersion}) Future<ReleaseNotesResult>
Checks if there are release notes to show based on the last seen version. Also triggers a fetch of the latest changelog if the version has changed.
checkForReleaseNotesSync({String? lastSeenVersion}) ReleaseNotesResult
Synchronous variant of checkForReleaseNotes for UI render paths.
containsListener(SintStateUpdate listener) bool
inherited
debounce<T>(RxInterface<T> rx, void callback(T), {Duration duration = const Duration(milliseconds: 400)}) → void
Calls callback after rx stops changing for duration. Useful for search-as-you-type, form validation, etc.
inherited
dispose() → void
inherited
ever<T>(RxInterface<T> rx, void callback(T)) → void
Calls callback every time rx changes. Auto-cancels on controller disposal.
inherited
fetchAndStoreChangelog() Future<void>
Fetch the changelog from GitHub and store it in cache file. This runs in the background and does not block the UI.
getAllReleaseNotes({String? changelogContent}) List<(String, List<String>)>
Gets all release notes as a list of (version, notes) pairs. Versions are sorted with oldest first.
getRecentReleaseNotes({required String currentVersion, String? previousVersion, String? changelogContent}) List<String>
Gets release notes to show based on the previously seen version.
getStoredChangelog() Future<String>
Get the stored changelog from cache file if available.
getStoredChangelogFromMemory() String
Synchronous accessor for the changelog from memory cache.
interval<T>(RxInterface<T> rx, void callback(T), {Duration duration = const Duration(seconds: 1)}) → void
Calls callback at most once per duration, ignoring intermediate changes. Useful for rate-limiting UI updates.
inherited
noSuchMethod(Invocation invocation) → dynamic
Invoked when a nonexistent method or property is accessed.
inherited
once<T>(RxInterface<T> rx, void callback(T)) → void
Calls callback only the first time rx changes, then cancels.
inherited
onClose() → void
Called before onDelete method. onClose might be used to dispose resources used by the controller. Like closing events, or streams before the controller is destroyed. Or dispose objects that can potentially create some memory leaks, like TextEditingControllers, AnimationControllers. Might be useful as well to persist some data on disk.
inherited
onDelete() → void
inherited
onInit() → void
Called immediately after the widget is allocated in memory. You might use this to initialize something for the controller.
inherited
onReady() → void
Called 1 frame after onInit(). It is the perfect place to enter navigation events, like snackbar, dialogs, or a new route, or async request.
inherited
onStart() → void
Called at the exact moment the widget is allocated in memory. It uses an internal "callable" type, to avoid any @overrides in subclasses. This method should be internal and is required to define the lifetime cycle of the subclass.
inherited
parseChangelog(String content) Map<String, List<String>>
Parses a changelog string in markdown format into a structured format.
refresh() → void
inherited
refreshGroup(Object id) → void
inherited
removeListener(VoidCallback listener) → void
Remove a previously registered closure from the list of closures that the object notifies.
inherited
removeListenerId(Object id, VoidCallback listener) → void
inherited
reportAdd(VoidCallback disposer) → void
inherited
reportRead() → void
inherited
resetChangelogCache() → void
Reset the changelog cache (for testing).
toString() String
A string representation of this object.
inherited
update([List<Object>? ids, bool condition = true]) → void
Notifies listeners to update the UI.

Operators

operator ==(Object other) bool
The equality operator.
