A flexible and battery-efficient solution for handling real-time data updates in Flutter applications.

Features

• Customizable polling frequencies (low, medium, high)
• Battery-efficient with automatic lifecycle management
• Smart request handling to prevent overlapping
• Context-aware frequency adjustments
• Simple, flexible API

Getting Started

Add the package to your pubspec.yaml:

dependencies:
  pulling_manager: ^0.1.3

Usage

Basic implementation:

  final pullManager = PullingManager(
    fetchData: () => repository.getData(),
    initialFrequency: PollingFrequency.low,
    immediateFirstFetch: true,
    attachToLifecycle: true,
    lowFrequencyDuration: const Duration(seconds: 10), 
    mediumFrequencyDuration: const Duration(seconds: 5),
    highFrequencyDuration: const Duration(seconds: 2),
  );

  // Listen to screen changes and adjust frequency
  screenStateSubject
    .listen(
      (screen) => pullManager.setFrequency(
        screen.when(
          dashboard: () => PollingFrequency.low,    
          details: () => PollingFrequency.high,     
          settings: () => PollingFrequency.medium,  
        ),
      ),
    );


  // Process data updates
  pullManager.dataStream
    .listen((result) {
        // do something with the result
    });

Why PullingManager?

PullingManager was built to solve real-world needs in production apps. It provides:

• Dynamic Control: Change polling frequency based on app state or user context
• Resource Efficiency: Automatically handles lifecycle events to conserve battery
• Clean API: Simple to implement and maintain
• Built on RxDart: Leverages powerful reactive programming concepts

Configuration

PullingManager can be customized with:

PullingManager(
  attachToLifecycle: true,              // Attach to lifecycle to pause in background, resume in foreground.
  fetchData: () => Future<T>,           // Your data fetch function
  initialFrequency: PollingFrequency,   // Starting frequency
  immediateFirstFetch: bool,            // Fetch immediately on start
  lowFrequencyDuration: Duration,       // Interval for low frequency
  mediumFrequencyDuration: Duration,    // Interval for medium frequency
  highFrequencyDuration: Duration,      // Interval for high frequency
)
