custom_error 0.0.4

The "custom_error" library is a powerful flutter package designed to streamline error management and elevate error handling in your flutter applications.

custom_error

A Flutter package for custom error management.

Overview

The custom_error library is designed to simplify error management in your Flutter applications. It provides a versatile CustomError class that allows you to create, store, and access custom error instances with ease.

Key Features

• Custom Error Management: Create and manage custom error objects with error codes and messages.
• Flexible Error Storage: Store multiple errors using a list of maps.
• Error Retrieval: Easily access individual error details using getter methods.
• Error State Check: Check if an error exists with the hasAnError() method.
• Type Checking: Determine if an object is an instance of CustomError using the isAnError() method.
• Show dialogs with custom titles, messages, and actions when an error occurs.
• Display SnackBars with custom backgrounds and behaviors based on error conditions.

Installation

To use the custom_error package in your Flutter project, add it to your pubspec.yaml file as a dependency:

dependencies:
  custom_error: ^latest_version

Replace ^latest_version with the specific version you want to use, and then run flutter pub get to fetch and install the package.

Usage

Here's an example of how you can use the custom_error package in your Flutter application:

import 'package:custom_error/custom_error.dart';

void main() {
  String _inputText = 'Mazzi';
  List<String> names = ['Yung', 'Cet', 'Cedric'];

  // Create and manage custom errors
  CustomError error = CustomError();
  if (! names.contains(_inputText)){
    error.setError(-1, 'Name not found.');
  }

  // Check if an error exists
  // You can also use error.isAnError(), instead of error.hasAnError()
  // To display a dialog / snackbar when an error has occured use CustomErrorManager, see examples below
  if (error.hasAnError()) {
    // handle error
    print('Error: ${error.getError()}, Code: ${error.getErrorCode()}');
  } else {
    print('No error found.');
  }

  // Add multiple errors
  error.addError(200, 'Error 200');
  error.addError(300, 'Error 300');

  // Retrieve all errors
  final allErrors = error.getAllErrors();

  // Check if an error exists
  if (error.isAnError()) {
    print('All Errors: $allErrors');
  } else {
    print('No error found.');
  }
}

Showing a Dialog / SnackBar when an error occurs using CustomErrorManager

import 'package:custom_error/custom_error.dart';

...
...
  ElevatedButton(
    onPressed: (){
      CustomError customError = CustomError();
      customError.setError(-1, 'Showing Error Dialog');

      // add dialog buttons
      final actions = <Widget>[
        TextButton(
          onPressed: () {
            Navigator.of(context).pop();
            // add code logic for the button
          },
          child: Text('OK'),
        ),
        TextButton(
          onPressed: () {
            Navigator.of(context).pop();
            // add code logic for the button
          },
          child: Text('Cancel'),
        )
      ];

      // Show a dialog when an error occurs
      CustomErrorManager.showDialogIfError(
        context,
        customError,
        "Error Title",
        "Optional error message", // if set to null, customError.getError() message will be used
        actions,
      );
    },
    child: Text('Show Error Dialog'),
  ),
  ...
  ...

      // Display a SnackBar when an error occurs
      CustomErrorManager.showSnackBarIfError(
        context,
        customError,
        backgroundColor: Colors.red,
