AlgoMate 🤖⚡

Benchmarks & Coverage

• Reproducible runner: benchmarks/run_bench.sh (prints system info, Dart/Flutter versions).
• Outputs JSON and CSV to benchmarks/out/ for CI artifacts.
• Coverage is uploaded to Codecov; badge above reflects main branch.

When built-in List.sort() is faster:

• Very small lists where VM intrinsics win due to low overhead.
• Nearly-sorted input benefitting from optimized paths.

When Algomate can outperform:

• Large datasets on multi-core CPUs (parallel strategies).
• When stability is required or memory limits guide selection.

When not to use Algomate:

• Tiny collections on hot paths where selection overhead matters more than algorithm choice.

🌟 The Smart Algorithm Selection Library for Dart and Flutter

For Thai documentation: 📖 เอกสารภาษาไทย

AlgoMate is an intelligent algorithm selection library that automatically chooses the optimal algorithm for your data operations. Instead of manually deciding which sorting or searching algorithm to use, AlgoMate analyzes your data characteristics and selects the most efficient strategy.

🚀 Quick Start

Installation

Add to your pubspec.yaml:

dependencies:
  algomate: ^0.2.5

Then run:

dart pub get

Basic Usage

import 'package:algomate/algomate.dart';

void main() {
  // 1. Create the AlgoMate selector
  final selector = AlgoSelectorFacade.development();

  // 2. Your data
  final numbers = [64, 34, 25, 12, 22, 11, 90];

  // 3. Let AlgoMate choose and sort
  final result = selector.sort(
    input: numbers,
    hint: SelectorHint(n: numbers.length),
  );

  // 4. Get results
  result.fold(
    (success) {
      print('✅ Sorted: ${success.output}');
      print('🔧 Algorithm: ${success.selectedStrategy.name}');
      print('⏱️  Time: ${success.executionTimeMicros}μs');
    },
    (failure) => print('❌ Error: ${failure.message}'),
  );
}

Output:

✅ Sorted: [11, 12, 22, 25, 34, 64, 90]
🔧 Algorithm: merge_sort
⏱️ Time: 245μs

🤔 Why Do You Need AlgoMate?

The Problem Every Developer Faces

❌ Traditional Approach:

// Manual algorithm selection - complex and error-prone
List<int> sortData(List<int> data) {
  if (data.length < 50) {
    return insertionSort(data);        // For small datasets
  } else if (data.length < 1000) {
    return quickSort(data);            // For medium datasets
  } else if (isAlmostSorted(data)) {
    return timSort(data);              // For nearly sorted data
  } else {
    return mergeSort(data);            // For large datasets
  }
  // What about parallel processing? Memory constraints? Stability requirements?
}

✅ AlgoMate Approach:

// Intelligent automatic selection
final result = selector.sort(
  input: data,
  hint: SelectorHint(n: data.length),
);
// AlgoMate handles all complexity for you!

Common Developer Pain Points AlgoMate Solves

🐛 Troubleshooting

Common Issues

Memory Errors on Large Datasets

// Solution: Use memory constraints
final selector = AlgoMate.createSelector()
  .withMemoryConstraint(MemoryConstraint.low)
  .build();

Web Compatibility Issues

// Solution: Force web mode
final webSelector = AlgoSelectorFacade.web();

Performance Degradation

// Solution: Disable debugging features in production
final prodSelector = AlgoSelectorFacade.production()
  .withBenchmarking(enabled: false)
  .withLogging(LogLevel.error)
  .build();

Debug Mode

// Enable comprehensive debugging
final debugSelector = AlgoMate.createSelector()
  .withLogging(LogLevel.trace)
  .withMemoryTracking(enabled: true)
  .withExecutionProfiler(enabled: true)
  .withAlgorithmExplainer(enabled: true) // Explains selection decisions
  .build();

final result = debugSelector.sort(input: data);
result.fold(
  (success) {
    print('Selection reasoning: ${success.metadata.selectionReason}');
    print('Alternative algorithms considered: ${success.metadata.alternatives}');
  },
  (failure) {
    print('Failure analysis: ${failure.analysis}');
    print('Suggested fixes: ${failure.suggestions}');
  },
);

🌟 Real-World Use Cases & Examples

1. 🎮 Game Development: Leaderboard System

Problem: You need to sort player scores efficiently for a leaderboard that updates frequently.

class GameLeaderboard {
  final AlgoSelectorFacade _selector = AlgoSelectorFacade.production();

  /// Sort players by score, maintaining order for ties (stable sort)
  Future<List<Player>> updateLeaderboard(List<Player> players) async {
    print('🎯 Updating leaderboard with ${players.length} players...');

    // Extract scores for sorting
    final scores = players.map((p) => p.score).toList();

    final result = _selector.sort(
      input: scores,
      hint: SelectorHint(
        n: players.length,
        preferStable: true, // Keep original order for tied scores
      ),
    );

    return result.fold(
      (success) {
        print('✅ Leaderboard updated using ${success.selectedStrategy.name}');
        print('⏱️ Sorting took: ${success.executionTimeMicros}μs');

        // Reorder players based on sorted scores
        return _reorderPlayersByScores(players, success.output);
      },
      (failure) {
        print('❌ Leaderboard update failed: ${failure.message}');
        return players; // Return original order on failure
      },
    );
  }

  List<Player> _reorderPlayersByScores(List<Player> players, List<int> sortedScores) {
    // Implementation to reorder players based on sorted scores
    return players..sort((a, b) => b.score.compareTo(a.score));
  }
}

// Usage
void main() async {
  final leaderboard = GameLeaderboard();
  final players = [
    Player('Alice', 1500),
    Player('Bob', 2100),
    Player('Charlie', 1800),
    // ... more players
  ];

  final sortedPlayers = await leaderboard.updateLeaderboard(players);
  print('🏆 Top player: ${sortedPlayers.first.name} with ${sortedPlayers.first.score} points');
}

Why AlgoMate is better:

• ✅ Automatic optimization: Uses insertion sort for small leaderboards, merge sort for larger ones
• ✅ Stable sorting: Maintains tie-breaking order without manual implementation
• ✅ Performance monitoring: Built-in timing and algorithm selection reporting

2. 📱 Mobile App: Product Search

Problem: E-commerce app needs fast product search with varying catalog sizes.

class ProductCatalog {
  final AlgoSelectorFacade _selector = AlgoSelectorFacade.production();
  List<Product> _sortedProducts = [];

  /// Initialize catalog with sorted products for efficient searching
  Future<void> initializeCatalog(List<Product> products) async {
    print('📦 Initializing catalog with ${products.length} products...');

    // Sort products by ID for binary search capability
    final productIds = products.map((p) => p.id).toList();

    final sortResult = _selector.sort(
      input: productIds,
      hint: SelectorHint(n: products.length),
    );

    sortResult.fold(

🆚 AlgoMate vs Traditional Approaches

Manual Algorithm Implementation

❌ Traditional Way:

// You have to implement and maintain all algorithms yourself
class ManualSorter {
  List<int> sort(List<int> data) {
    // Decision logic you have to write and maintain
    if (data.length < 10) {
      return insertionSort(data);      // 50+ lines of code
    } else if (data.length < 1000) {
      return quickSort(data);          // 80+ lines of code
    } else {
      return mergeSort(data);          // 60+ lines of code
    }
    // What about parallel processing? Memory constraints? Stability?
  }

  // You need to implement each algorithm (200+ lines total)
  List<int> insertionSort(List<int> data) { /* implementation */ }
  List<int> quickSort(List<int> data) { /* implementation */ }
  List<int> mergeSort(List<int> data) { /* implementation */ }

  // No performance monitoring, error handling, or optimization
}

✅ AlgoMate Way:

// Simple, powerful, and comprehensive
final result = selector.sort(input: data, hint: SelectorHint(n: data.length));
// That's it! AlgoMate handles everything.

Built-in Dart Methods

❌ Using List.sort():

// Always uses the same algorithm, no optimization
final data = [64, 34, 25, 12, 22, 11, 90];
data.sort(); // Uses Dart's default sort (usually intro-sort)

// Problems:
// ❌ No algorithm selection based on data characteristics
// ❌ No parallel processing for large datasets
// ❌ No performance monitoring
// ❌ No memory constraint handling
// ❌ No stability guarantees

✅ AlgoMate:

final result = selector.sort(input: data);
// ✅ Intelligent algorithm selection
// ✅ Parallel processing for large datasets
// ✅ Performance monitoring and reporting
// ✅ Memory-aware execution
// ✅ Stability when needed

🎯 When to Use AlgoMate vs Alternatives

✅ Use AlgoMate When:

• 📊 Data size varies: Small to very large datasets (10 - 10M+ elements)
• ⚡ Performance matters: Need optimal speed for your specific use case
• 🔧 Easy maintenance: Want to avoid implementing/debugging sorting algorithms
• 📱 Production apps: Need reliable, tested, and optimized algorithms
• 🚀 Multi-core systems: Want to leverage parallel processing automatically
• 📈 Performance monitoring: Need insights into algorithm selection and performance

⚠️ Consider Alternatives When:

• 🎯 Single algorithm: Always need the same specific algorithm (just use it directly)

• 📦 Size constraints: Package size is critical (AlgoMate adds ~100KB)

• 🔒 Custom requirements: Need very specific algorithm modifications

• 🎮 Simple cases: Sorting < 100 elements occasionally (List.sort() is fine) final PerformanceProfile? profile; // Speed vs memory preference

  const SelectorHint({ this.n, this.isSorted, this.memoryBudget, this.stability, this.profile, }); }

#### `ExecuteResult<T>`

Contains execution results with performance metadata.

```dart
class ExecuteResult<T> {
  final T output;                        // Algorithm output
  final AlgoMetadata selectedStrategy;   // Chosen algorithm
  final ExecutionStats? executionStats;  // Performance metrics

  const ExecuteResult({
    required this.output,
    required this.selectedStrategy,
    this.executionStats,
  });
}

AlgoMetadata

Algorithm characteristics and complexity information.

class AlgoMetadata {
  final String name;                     // Strategy identifier
  final TimeComplexity timeComplexity;  // Big-O time complexity
  final TimeComplexity spaceComplexity; // Big-O space complexity
  final bool requiresSorted;            // Requires sorted input
  final int memoryOverhead;             // Additional memory bytes
  final bool isStable;                  // Preserves equal element order
  final bool isInPlace;                 // Modifies input in-place

  const AlgoMetadata({...});
}

Enums and Value Objects

TimeComplexity

enum TimeComplexity {
  constant,    // O(1)
  logarithmic, // O(log n)
  linear,      // O(n)
  nLogN,       // O(n log n)
  quadratic,   // O(n²)
  cubic,       // O(n³)
  exponential, // O(2^n)
}

MemoryConstraint

enum MemoryConstraint {
  unlimited(double.infinity),
  high(1073741824),      // 1GB
  medium(268435456),     // 256MB
  low(67108864),         // 64MB
  veryLow(16777216),     // 16MB
}

Result<T, F>

Functional error handling pattern.

sealed class Result<T, F> {
  const Result();

  R fold<R>(R Function(T success) onSuccess, R Function(F failure) onFailure);
  bool get isSuccess;
  bool get isFailure;
}

class Success<T, F> extends Result<T, F> {
  final T value;
  const Success(this.value);
}

class Failure<T, F> extends Result<T, F> {
  final F error;
  const Failure(this.error);
}

  testScenario(selector, 'Large dataset', 100000);
}

void testScenario(AlgoSelectorFacade selector, String name, int size) {
  print('\\n🎯 $name ($size elements)');

  final data = List.generate(size, (i) => Random().nextInt(size));
  final stopwatch = Stopwatch()..start();

  final result = selector.sort(input: data, hint: SelectorHint(n: size));
  stopwatch.stop();

  result.fold(
    (success) {
      print('   Algorithm: ${success.selectedStrategy.name}');
      print('   Time: ${stopwatch.elapsedMicroseconds}μs');
      print('   Throughput: ${(size / stopwatch.elapsedMicroseconds * 1000000).toStringAsFixed(0)} elem/sec');
    },
    (failure) => print('   Error: ${failure.message}'),
  );
}

💡 Pro Tips & Best Practices

🎯 Providing Good Hints

// ✅ Good: Provide useful context
final result = selector.sort(
  input: data,
  hint: SelectorHint(
    n: data.length,
    sorted: isDataAlreadySorted(data),
    preferStable: true,  // If you need stable sorting
    memoryBudgetBytes: 64 * 1024 * 1024,  // 64MB limit
  ),
);

// ❌ Avoid: No context provided
final result = selector.sort(input: data);  // Works, but suboptimal

⚡ Performance Optimization

// For repeated operations on similar data
class DataProcessor {
  late final AlgoSelectorFacade _selector;

  DataProcessor() {
    // Use production configuration for better performance
    _selector = AlgoSelectorFacade.production();
  }

  List<int> processDataBatch(List<int> data) {
    // Provide consistent hints for better algorithm caching
    final result = _selector.sort(
      input: data,
      hint: SelectorHint(
        n: data.length,
        // Add any other consistent parameters
      ),
    );

    return result.fold(
      (success) => success.output,
      (failure) => data, // Fallback to original data
    );
  }
}

🔍 Debugging & Monitoring

// Enable detailed logging to understand algorithm selection
final debugSelector = AlgoSelectorFacade.development(); // Has detailed logging

final result = debugSelector.sort(input: largeDataset);

result.fold(
  (success) {
    print('Selected: ${success.selectedStrategy.name}');
    print('Execution time: ${success.executionTimeMicros}μs');
    print('Memory overhead: ${success.selectedStrategy.memoryOverheadBytes} bytes');

    // Log for performance analysis
    logPerformanceMetrics(success);
  },
  (failure) => handleError(failure),
);

Performance Measurement 📊

Use built-in benchmarking tools for performance analysis:

import 'package:algomate/algomate.dart';

void main() async {
  final benchmarkRunner = HarnessBenchmarkRunner();

  // Compare different sorting approaches
  final comparison = benchmarkRunner.compare(
    functions: {
      'insertion_sort': () => insertionSort(data),
      'merge_sort': () => mergeSort(data),
      'dart_builtin': () => data.toList()..sort(),
    },
    iterations: 1000,
    warmupIterations: 100,
  );

  print(comparison); // Statistical analysis with confidence intervals
}

Concurrent Execution ⚡

Execute CPU-intensive operations in isolates:

void main() async {
  final isolateExecutor = DartIsolateExecutor();

  // Sort large dataset in isolate (won't block UI)
  final largeData = List.generate(100000, (i) => 100000 - i);

  final sortedResult = await isolateExecutor.execute<List<int>, List<int>>(
    function: (data) => mergeSort(data),
    input: largeData,
    timeout: Duration(seconds: 30),
  );

  print('Sorted ${sortedResult.length} elements');
  isolateExecutor.dispose(); // Clean up resources
}

Error Handling 🛡️

AlgoMate uses functional error handling with the Result<T, Failure> pattern:

// Handle results functionally
final result = selector.sort(input: data, hint: hint);

result.fold(
  (success) {
    // Success case - use success.output
    print('Algorithm: ${success.selectedStrategy.name}');
    print('Time taken: ${success.executionStats?.executionTimeMicros}μs');
    return success.output;
  },
  (failure) {
    // Error case - handle specific failures
    switch (failure.runtimeType) {
      case ValidationFailure:
        print('Invalid input: ${failure.message}');
        break;
      case ExecutionFailure:
        print('Execution failed: ${failure.message}');
        break;
      case ConfigurationFailure:
        print('Configuration error: ${failure.message}');
        break;
      default:
        print('Unknown error: ${failure.message}');
    }
    return <int>[];
  },
);

🌐 Flutter Web Compatibility

AlgoMate is fully compatible with Flutter Web through platform-aware architecture:

Platform Differences

Feature	Native (Mobile/Desktop)	Web (Browser)
Isolates	✅ Full parallel processing	⚠️ Sequential fallback
Performance	🚀 Native speed	🌐 JavaScript limitations
Memory	📱 System memory	💻 Browser heap
File I/O	✅ Full dart:io support	❌ Web restrictions

Automatic Platform Detection

// Same code works on all platforms!
final selector = AlgoSelectorFacade.development();

final result = selector.sort(
  input: largeDataset,
  hint: SelectorHint(n: largeDataset.length, preferParallel: true),
);

// On native: Uses true parallel algorithms
// On web: Falls back to sequential with same API

Web-Specific Optimizations

import 'dart:html' as html show window;

bool get isWeb => html.window != null;

final hint = SelectorHint(
  n: data.length,
  preferSimple: isWeb,  // Use lighter algorithms on web
  memoryBudgetBytes: isWeb ? 10 * 1024 * 1024 : null,  // 10MB web limit
);

Web Test Demo

Run the web compatibility test:

# Test locally
dart run example/web_demo.dart

# Compile to JavaScript
dart compile js example/web_demo.dart -o web_demo.js

# Build for Flutter Web
flutter build web

See Web Compatibility Guide for complete setup instructions.

Performance Optimization Guide 📈

Algorithm Selection Logic

AlgoMate automatically selects algorithms based on:

1. Dataset Size

   • Small (n < 50): Insertion Sort variants
   • Medium (50 ≤ n < 1000): Binary Insertion Sort
   • Large (n ≥ 1000): Merge Sort variants

2. Memory Constraints

   • Very Low: In-place algorithms only
   • Low: Prefer space-efficient variants
   • Unlimited: Best time complexity

3. Data Characteristics

   • Pre-sorted: Algorithms with O(n) best case
   • Stability required: Stable sort algorithms
   • Duplicates: Algorithms handling duplicates well

Custom Performance Tuning

// Fine-tune for your specific use case
final selector = AlgoMate.createSelector()
  .withCustomPolicy((candidates, hint) {
    // Your custom selection logic
    return candidates.where((strategy) {
      return strategy.metadata.timeComplexity.index <= TimeComplexity.nLogN.index;
    }).toList();
  })
  .build();

// Override built-in strategies
selector.registerStrategy(YourOptimizedMergeSort());

Testing Support 🧪

AlgoMate provides comprehensive testing utilities:

import 'package:algomate/testing.dart';

void main() {
  group('Custom Algorithm Tests', () {
    late AlgoSelectorFacade selector;
    late MockBenchmarkRunner mockBenchmark;

    setUp(() {
      mockBenchmark = MockBenchmarkRunner();
      selector = AlgoMate.createSelector()
        .withBenchmarkRunner(mockBenchmark)
        .build();
    });

    test('should select optimal algorithm for size', () {
      final result = selector.sort(
        input: List.generate(100, (i) => i),
        hint: SelectorHint(n: 100),
      );

      expect(result.isSuccess, isTrue);
      expect(
        result.fold((s) => s.selectedStrategy.name, (_) => ''),
        equals('binary_insertion_sort'),
      );
    });

    test('should handle edge cases gracefully', () {
      final result = selector.sort(input: [], hint: SelectorHint(n: 0));

      expect(result.isSuccess, isTrue);
      expect(result.fold((s) => s.output, (_) => null), equals([]));
    });
  });
}

Migration Guide 📋

From Manual Algorithm Selection

Before:

// Manual algorithm selection
List<int> sortData(List<int> data) {
  if (data.length < 50) {
    return insertionSort(data);
  } else {
    return mergeSort(data);
  }
}

After:

// AlgoMate automatic selection
List<int> sortData(List<int> data) {
  final selector = AlgoSelectorFacade.development();

  return selector.sort(
    input: data,
    hint: SelectorHint(n: data.length),
  ).fold(
    (success) => success.output,
    (failure) => throw Exception(failure.message),
  );
}

From Other Algorithm Libraries

Before:

// Using dart:core sort
final sorted = list.toList()..sort();

// Using external library
final sorted = QuickSort().sort(list);

After:

// AlgoMate with intelligent selection
final selector = AlgoSelectorFacade.production();

final result = selector.sort(
  input: list,
  hint: SelectorHint(
    n: list.length,
    isSorted: false,
    memoryBudget: MemoryConstraint.medium,
    stability: StabilityPreference.preferred,
  ),
);

final sorted = result.fold(
  (success) => success.output,
  (failure) => list, // Fallback to original
);

Troubleshooting 🔧

Common Issues

Q: Algorithm selection seems wrong for my dataset

// A: Provide better hints
final result = selector.sort(
  input: data,
  hint: SelectorHint(
    n: data.length,
    isSorted: data.isSorted,           // Important hint
    memoryBudget: MemoryConstraint.low, // Memory constraint
  ),
);

Q: Performance is not as expected

// A: Enable detailed benchmarking
final selector = AlgoMate.createSelector()
  .withBenchmarking(enabled: true, warmupIterations: 100)
  .withDetailedLogging(true)
  .build();

// Check execution stats
result.fold(
  (success) {
    print('Execution time: ${success.executionStats?.executionTimeMicros}μs');
    print('Memory used: ${success.executionStats?.memoryUsage}B');
  },
  (error) => print('Error: $error'),
);

Q: Need custom algorithm selection logic

// A: Implement custom selector policy
class CustomSelectorPolicy extends SelectorPolicy {
  @override
  List<Strategy<I, O>> rank<I, O>(
    List<Strategy<I, O>> candidates,
    SelectorHint hint,
  ) {
    // Your custom ranking logic
    return candidates..sort((a, b) => myCustomComparison(a, b, hint));
  }
}

final selector = AlgoMate.createSelector()
  .withCustomPolicy(CustomSelectorPolicy())
  .build();
