stream_mixin

State management using stream to avoid use of flutter's State/setState/StatefulWidget, boosting the performance and code separation.

Breaking change in 2.0.0 and 3.0.0. Check the changelog.

The Intention

The intention for this package is to use stream instead of flutter's state for streaming data from the controller/adapter/service class to the widgets, which results in better performance and cleaner code.

Basic example

A basic example of a counter service that increments the count and streams the count to the widget

class Counter with StreamMixin<int> {
  increment() {
    update((lastUpdate ?? 0) + 1);
  }
}

/// You can either create a global instance of Counter or create a
/// singleton (recommented) like class by adding the following in Counter class
/// ```dart
///   Counter._();
///   static Counter instance = Counter._();
/// ```
final counter = Counter();

anywhereInTheApp() {
  counter.increment();
}

Widget someWidget() {
  return StreamBuilder<int>(
    stream: counter.onChange,
    builder: (cxt, snap) => Text((snap.data ?? 0).toString()),
  );
}
