async_button_handler 0.1.0

A Flutter package that provides a customizable button widget to handle asynchronous actions with built-in loading and error state handling.

Async Button Handler

Async Button Handler is a Flutter package that simplifies handling asynchronous actions triggered by button presses. It manages loading states without requiring any additional state management libraries. The package is designed to help you reduce boilerplate code while maintaining a clean UI flow for async actions.

Features

• Loading State: Shows a loading indicator while an asynchronous task is in progress.
• Customizable UI: Accepts custom widgets for both loading and default states, as well as button styling options.
• Overlay Loading: Displays a modal loading indicator overlay while tasks are running.
• Minimal Setup: Eliminates the need for a state management solution, making it easy to integrate into any Flutter project.

Getting Started

Installation

Add this package to your pubspec.yaml file:

dependencies:
  async_button_handler: ^0.1.0

Usage

First, import the package into your Dart file:

import 'package:async_button_handler/async_button_handler.dart';

Then, use the AsyncButtonHandler widget in your widget tree:

Basic Usage

AsyncButtonHandler<Future<void>>(
  onPressed: () async {
    // Perform any asynchronous action here, e.g., API call
  },
  loadingChild: CircularProgressIndicator(),
  buttonChild: Text('Submit'),
);

Overlay Loading Mode

AsyncButtonHandler<Future<void>>(
  onPressed: () async {
    // Perform any asynchronous action here
    await Future.delayed(Duration(seconds: 3));
  },
  overlayLoading: true,
  buttonChild: Text('Submit'),
);

Example App

Here is an example app demonstrating various use cases of Async Button Handler:

import 'package:async_button_handler/async_button_handler.dart';
import 'package:flutter/material.dart';

void main() {
  runApp(const MyApp());
}

class MyApp extends StatelessWidget {
  const MyApp({super.key});

  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return const MaterialApp(
      home: ExampleHomePage(),
    );
  }
}

class ExampleHomePage extends StatelessWidget {
  const ExampleHomePage({super.key});

  Future<void> asyncOperation() async {
    await Future.delayed(
      const Duration(seconds: 2),
      () => print('Hello world'),
    );
  }

  Future<String> asyncTypedOperation() async {
    return await Future.delayed(
      const Duration(seconds: 2),
      () => 'Hello world',
    );
  }

  void syncOperation() {
    print('Hello world');
  }

  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return Scaffold(
      appBar: AppBar(title: const Text('Async Button Example')),
      body: Center(
        child: Column(
          mainAxisAlignment: MainAxisAlignment.center,
          crossAxisAlignment: CrossAxisAlignment.center,
          children: [
            AsyncButtonHandler<Future<void>>(
              overlayLoading: false,
              onPressed: asyncOperation,
              loadingChild: const CircularProgressIndicator(),
              buttonChild: const Text('Async Button'),
            ),
            const SizedBox(height: 10),
            AsyncButtonHandler<Future<String>>(
              overlayLoading: true,
              onPressed: asyncTypedOperation,
              loadingChild: const CircularProgressIndicator(),
              buttonChild: const Text('Typed Async Button'),
            ),
            const SizedBox(height: 10),
            AsyncButtonHandler<void>(
              onPressed: syncOperation,
              loadingChild: const CircularProgressIndicator(),
              buttonChild: const Text('Sync Button'),
            ),
          ],
        ),
      ),
    );
  }
}

What's New in Version 0.1.0

• Removed onError Callback: Package users can now handle exceptions directly outside the package for better customization and tracking.
• Enhanced Overlay Loading Mode: Improved behavior and usability for showing modal loading overlays.
• Updated Documentation: Example app included to showcase various use cases.
