angular_bloc 0.3.0

Angular Components that make it easy to implement the BLoC (Business Logic Component) design pattern. Built to be used with the bloc package.

---

An Angular package that helps implement the BLoC pattern.

This package is built to work with bloc.

Angular Components

BlocPipe is an Angular pipe which helps bind Bloc state changes to the presentation layer. BlocPipe handles rendering the html element in response to new states. BlocPipe is very similar to AsyncPipe but has a more simple API to reduce the amount of boilerplate code needed.

Usage

Lets take a look at how to use BlocPipe to hook up a CounterPage html template to a CounterBloc.

counter_page_component.html

<div class="counter-page-container">
  <h1>Counter App</h1>
  <h2>Current Count: {{ counterBloc | bloc }}</h2>
  <material-fab class="counter-fab-button" (trigger)="increment()"
    >+</material-fab
  >
  <material-fab class="counter-fab-button" (trigger)="decrement()"
    >-</material-fab
  >
</div>

counter_page_component.dart

import 'package:angular/angular.dart';
import 'package:angular_components/angular_components.dart';

import 'package:angular_bloc/angular_bloc.dart';

import './counter_bloc.dart';

@Component(
  selector: 'counter-page',
  templateUrl: 'counter_page_component.html',
  styleUrls: ['counter_page_component.css'],
  directives: [MaterialFabComponent],
  pipes: [BlocPipe],
)
class CounterPageComponent implements OnInit, OnDestroy {
  CounterBloc counterBloc;

  @override
  void ngOnInit() {
    counterBloc = CounterBloc();
  }

  @override
  void ngOnDestroy() {
    counterBloc.dispose();
  }

  void increment() {
    counterBloc.dispatch(Increment());
  }

  void decrement() {
    counterBloc.dispatch(Decrement());
  }
}

At this point we have sucessfully separated our presentational layer from our business logic layer. Notice that the CounterPage component knows nothing about what happens when a user taps the button. The component simply tells the CounterBloc that the user has pressed the increment/decrement button.
