signals library

Classes

AsyncData<T>
State for an AsyncState with a value
AsyncError<T>
State for an AsyncState with an error
AsyncLoading<T>
State for an AsyncState with a loading state
AsyncSignal<T>
The signal function creates a new signal. A signal is a container for a value that can change over time. You can read a signal's value or subscribe to value updates by accessing its .value property.
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.
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>
The signal function creates a new signal. A signal is a container for a value that can change over time. You can read a signal's value or subscribe to value updates by accessing its .value property.
SignalContainer<T, Arg, S extends ReadonlySignal<T>>
Signal container used to create signals based on args
SignalListenable
Signal listenable that both Computed and Effect extend
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.
TimerSignal
Emit recurring TimerSignalEvent aka AsyncSignal
WrappedReadonlySignal<T, S extends ReadonlySignal<T>>
Wrap a ReadonlySignal and implement the same API
WrappedSignal<T>
Wrap a Signal and implement the same API

Functions

asyncSignal<T>(AsyncState<T> value, {String? debugLabel, bool autoDispose = false}) AsyncSignal<T>
The signal function creates a new signal. A signal is a container for a value that can change over time. You can read a signal's value or subscribe to value updates by accessing its .value property.
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>(ComputedCallback<T> compute, {String? debugLabel, bool autoDispose = false}) 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.
computedAsync<T>(Future<T> callback(), {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> callback(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 compute, {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> callback(), {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.
iterableSignal<T>(Iterable<T> iterable, {String? debugLabel, bool autoDispose = false}) IterableSignal<T>
Create an IterableSignal from Iterable
lazySignal<T>({String? debugLabel, bool autoDispose = false}) Signal<T>
Lazy signal that can be created with type T that the value will be assigned later.
listSignal<T>(List<T> list, {String? debugLabel, bool autoDispose = false}) ListSignal<T>
Create an ListSignal from List
mapSignal<K, V>(Map<K, V> map, {String? debugLabel, bool autoDispose = false}) MapSignal<K, V>
Create an MapSignal from Map
queueSignal<T>(Queue<T> list, {String? debugLabel, bool autoDispose = false}) QueueSignal<T>
Create an QueueSignal from Queue
readonlySignalContainer<T, Arg>(ReadonlySignal<T> create(Arg), {bool cache = false}) SignalContainer<T, Arg, ReadonlySignal<T>>
Create a signal container used to instance signals based on args
reloadSignalsDevTools() → void
Reload the devtools
setSignal<T>(Set<T> list, {String? debugLabel, bool autoDispose = false}) SetSignal<T>
Create an SetSignal from Set
signal<T>(T value, {String? debugLabel, bool autoDispose = false}) Signal<T>
The signal function creates a new signal. A signal is a container for a value that can change over time. You can read a signal's value or subscribe to value updates by accessing its .value property.
signalContainer<T, Arg>(Signal<T> create(Arg), {bool cache = false}) SignalContainer<T, Arg, Signal<T>>
Create a signal container used to instance signals based on args
streamSignal<T>(Stream<T> callback(), {T? initialValue, String? debugLabel, List<ReadonlySignal> dependencies = const [], void onDone()?, bool? cancelOnError, bool lazy = true, bool autoDispose = false}) StreamSignal<T>
Stream signals can be created by extension or method.
timerSignal(Duration every, {String debugLabel = 'Timer', bool? cancelOnError, bool autoDispose = false}) TimerSignal
Create a TimerSignal
untracked<T>(UntrackedCallback<T> fn) → T
In case when you're receiving a callback that can read some signals, but you don't want to subscribe to them, you can use untracked to prevent any subscriptions from happening.
valueSignal<T>(T value, {String? debugLabel, bool autoDispose = false}) ValueSignal<T>
Wrapper signal for a reference to an object
