poptart_xrpc

Low-level XRPC transport for Dart and Flutter.

Use poptart_xrpc when you want direct control over query, procedure, subscription, and descriptor calls. Most apps should use PoptartClient from poptart, but this package is the crisp transport layer underneath it.

Install

dart pub add poptart_xrpc

import 'package:poptart_xrpc/poptart_xrpc.dart';

Raw Query

import 'package:poptart_xrpc/poptart_xrpc.dart';

Future<void> main() async {
  final response = await query<String>(
    NSID.parse('com.atproto.server.describeServer'),
    service: 'bsky.social',
  );

  print(response.data);
}

Client Form

import 'package:poptart_xrpc/poptart_xrpc.dart';

Future<void> main() async {
  final client = XRPCClient(service: 'bsky.social');

  final response = await client.get<String>(
    NSID.parse('com.atproto.server.describeServer'),
  );

  print(response.status);
}

Generated Descriptor Calls

import 'package:bluesky_poptart/app/bsky/actor/get_profile.dart'
    as get_profile;
import 'package:poptart_xrpc/poptart_xrpc.dart';

Future<void> main() async {
  final client = XRPCClient();

  final profile = await client.call(
    get_profile.appBskyActorGetProfile,
    parameters: const get_profile.ActorGetProfileInput(actor: 'bsky.app'),
  );

  print(profile.data.handle);
}

What It Handles

GET queries, POST procedures, and websocket subscriptions.
XRPCMethodDescriptor and generated method values.
Request parameter cleanup and JSON conversion.
Auth headers, custom header builders, test clients, and timeouts.
XRPC error mapping for unauthorized, rate limited, invalid request, and server errors.

It is intentionally transport-focused: no OAuth session management, no app-level state, just the XRPC toaster slot.
