cache_data

A Flutter library to fetch data then save the data with duration as a age of data using hive; return dart objects. This library depend on hive for the database and dart_json_mapper for deserialize JSON to Dart object

Getting started

Add the dependency to pubspec.yaml:

dependencies:
  cache_data:
  dart_json_mapper:
  dart_json_mapper_flutter:
dev_dependencies:
  build_runner:

Put @jsonSerializable at your model.

data.dart

@jsonSerializable
class Data {
  int userId;
  int id;
  String title;

  Data({
    required this.userId,
    required this.id,
    required this.title,
  });
}

Next is add main.mapper.g.dart and initializes package.

main.dart

import 'main.mapper.g.dart' show initializeJsonMapper;

import 'package:dart_json_mapper_flutter/dart_json_mapper_flutter.dart' show flutterAdapter;

Future<void> main() async {
  WidgetsFlutterBinding.ensureInitialized();
  await CacheData.init();
  initializeJsonMapper(adapters: [flutterAdapter]);
  runApp(const MyApp());
}

Next, create the build.yaml in project directory.

targets:
  $default:
    builders:
      dart_json_mapper:
        generate_for:
        # here should be listed entry point files having 'void main()' function
          - lib/main.dart

      # This part is needed to tell original reflectable builder to stay away
      # it overrides default options for reflectable builder to an **empty** set of files
      reflectable:
        generate_for:
          - no/files

Now generate main.mapper.g.dart files

pub run build_runner build --delete-conflicting-outputs

or

pub run build_runner watch --delete-conflicting-outputs

if you want to generate files everytime you make changes in the code.

Usage

final cache = CacheData<List<Data>>();

FutureBuilder<List<Data>?>(
  future: cache.fetchData(
    'https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/albums',
    duration: duration),
  builder: (context, snapshot) {
    ...
  },
)
