Classes

AsyncData<T>
State for an AsyncState with a value
AsyncDataRefreshing<T>
A loading state with a value. Signals the query conditions that led to the data has remained the same and is being refreshed
AsyncDataReloading<T>
A loading state with a value. Signals the query conditions that led to the data has changed and is being reloaded.
AsyncError<T>
State for an AsyncState with an error
AsyncErrorRefreshing<T>
A loading state with an error. Signal the query conditions that led to the error has remained the same and is being refreshed.
AsyncErrorReloading<T>
A loading state with an error. Signal the query conditions that led to the error has changed and is being reloaded.
AsyncLoading<T>
State for an AsyncState with a loading state
AsyncSignal<T>
AsyncState is class commonly used with Future/Stream signals to represent the states the signal can be in.
AsyncState<T>
AsyncState is class commonly used with Future/Stream signals to represent the states the signal can be in.
ChangeStackSignal<T>
Change stack signal that can be used to call undo/redo on a value.
Computed<T>
Data is often derived from other pieces of existing data. The computed function lets you combine the values of multiple signals into a new signal that can be reacted to, or even used by additional computeds. When the signals accessed from within a computed callback change, the computed callback is re-executed and its new return value becomes the computed signal's value.
Connect<T, S extends T>
The idea for connect comes from Anguar Signals with RxJS:
DevToolsSignalsObserver
Signals DevTools observer
Effect
The effect function is the last piece that makes everything reactive. When you access a signal inside its callback function, that signal and every dependency of said signal will be activated and subscribed to. In that regard it is very similar to computed(fn). By default all updates are lazy, so nothing will update until you access a signal inside effect.
ElementWatcher
Helper class to track signals and effects with the lifecycle of an element.
FlutterComputed<T>
A signal based on the value of a computation
FlutterSignal<T>
Simple writeable single
FutureSignal<T>
Future signals can be created by extension or method.
IterableSignal<E>
A Signal that holds a Iterable.
ListSignal<E>
A Signal that holds a List.
LoggingSignalsObserver
Logs all signals and computed changes to the console.
MapSignal<K, V>
A Signal that holds a Map.
QueueSignal<T>
A Signal that holds a Queue.
ReadonlySignal<T>
Read only signals can just retrieve a value but not update or cause mutations
SetSignal<E>
A Signal that holds a Set.
Signal<T>
Simple writeable signal
SignalContainer<T, Arg, S extends ReadonlySignalMixin<T>>
Signal container used to create signals based on args
SignalProvider<T extends FlutterReadonlySignal>
Signal notifier widget
SignalsObserver
You can observe all signal values in the dart application by providing an implementation of SignalsObserver:
StreamSignal<T>
Stream signals can be created by extension or method.
TickerSignal
Ticker signal used to drive animations and can create animation controllers
TimerSignal
Emit recurring TimerSignalEvent aka AsyncSignal
TrackedSignal<T>

Watch
WatchBuilder<T extends Widget>

Functions

asyncSignal<T>(AsyncState<T> value, {String? debugLabel, bool autoDispose = false}) → AsyncSignal<T>
AsyncState is class commonly used with Future/Stream signals to represent the states the signal can be in.
batch<T>(BatchCallback<T> fn) → T
The batch function allows you to combine multiple signal writes into one single update that is triggered at the end when the callback completes.
changeStack<T>(T value, {String? debugLabel, int? limit, bool autoDispose = false}) → ChangeStackSignal<T>
Change stack signal that can be used to call undo/redo on a value.
computed<T>(T compute(), {String? debugLabel, bool autoDispose = false}) → FlutterComputed<T>
Create a new signal that is computed based on the values of other signals.
computedAsync<T>(Future<T> fn(), {T? initialValue, String? debugLabel, bool autoDispose = false, List<ReadonlySignal> dependencies = const [], bool lazy = true}) → FutureSignal<T>
Async Computed is syntax sugar around FutureSignal.
computedFrom<T, A>(List<ReadonlySignal<A>> signals, Future<T> fn(List<A> args), {T? initialValue, String? debugLabel, bool autoDispose = false, bool lazy = true}) → FutureSignal<T>
Async Computed is syntax sugar around FutureSignal.
connect<T, S extends T>(Signal<T> signal, [Stream<S>? stream]) → Connect<T, S>
The idea for connect comes from Anguar Signals with RxJS:
disableSignalsDevTools() → void
Disable the devtools
effect(EffectCallback fn, {String? debugLabel, EffectCallback? onDispose}) → EffectCleanup
The effect function is the last piece that makes everything reactive. When you access a signal inside its callback function, that signal and every dependency of said signal will be activated and subscribed to. In that regard it is very similar to computed(fn). By default all updates are lazy, so nothing will update until you access a signal inside effect.
futureSignal<T>(Future<T> fn(), {T? initialValue, String? debugLabel, List<ReadonlySignal> dependencies = const [], bool lazy = true, bool autoDispose = false}) → FutureSignal<T>
Future signals can be created by extension or method.
