This library make connection between meteor backend and flutter app easily. Design to work seamlessly with StreamBuilder and FutureBuilder.

A Meteor DDP library for Dart/Flutter developers. #

This library makes a connection between the Meteor backend and the Flutter app simply. Design to work seamlessly with StreamBuilder and FutureBuilder.

Usage #

A simple usage example:

First, create an instance of MeteorClient in your app global scope so that it can be used anywhere in your project.

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

MeteorClient meteor = MeteorClient.connect(url: 'https://yourdomain.com');
void main() => runApp(MyApp());

In your StatefulWidget/StatelessWidget, thanks to rxdart, you can use FutuerBuilder or StreamBuilder to build your widget base on a response from meteor's DDP server.

class MyApp extends StatefulWidget {
  @override
  _MyAppState createState() => _MyAppState();
}

class _MyAppState extends State<MyApp> {
  String _methodResult = '';

  void _callMethod() {
    meteor.call('helloMethod', []).then((result) {
      setState(() {
        _methodResult = result.toString();
      });
    }).catchError((err) {
      if (err is MeteorError) {
        setState(() {
          _methodResult = err.message;
        });
      }
    });
  }

  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return MaterialApp(
      home: Scaffold(
        appBar: AppBar(
          title: Text('Package dart_meteor Example'),
        ),
        body: Container(
          padding: EdgeInsets.all(8.0),
          child: Column(
            children: <Widget>[
              StreamBuilder<DdpConnectionStatus>(
                stream: meteor.status(),
                builder: (context, snapshot) {
                  if (snapshot.hasData) {
                    if (snapshot.data.status ==
                        DdpConnectionStatusValues.connected) {
                      return RaisedButton(
                        child: Text('Disconnect'),
                        onPressed: () {
                          meteor.disconnect();
                        },
                      );
                    }
                    return RaisedButton(

                      onPressed: () {
                        meteor.reconnect();
                      },
                    );
                  }
                  return Container();
                },
              ),
              StreamBuilder<DdpConnectionStatus>(
                stream: meteor.status(),
                builder: (context, snapshot) {

                  }
                  return Text('Meteor Status: ---');
                },
              ),
              StreamBuilder(
                  stream: meteor.userId(),
                  builder: (context, snapshot) {

                        onPressed: () {
                          meteor.logout();
                        },
                      );
                    }
                    return RaisedButton(

                      onPressed: () {
                        meteor.loginWithPassword(
                            'yourusername', 'yourpassword');
                      },
                    );
                  }),
              StreamBuilder(
                stream: meteor.user(),
                builder: (context, snapshot) {
                  if (snapshot.hasData) {
                    return Text(snapshot.data.toString());
                  }
                  return Text('User: ----');
                },
              ),
              RaisedButton(
                child: Text('Method Call'),
                onPressed: _callMethod,
              ),
              Text(_methodResult),
            ],
          ),
        ),
      ),
    );
  }
}

Making a method call to your server #

Making a method call to your server returns a Future. You MUST handle catchError to prevent your app from crashing if something went wrong. You can also use it with a FutureBuilder.

meteor.call('helloMethod', []).then((result) {
  setState(() {
    _methodResult = result.toString();
  });
}).catchError((err) {
  if (err is MeteorError) {
    setState(() {
      _methodResult = err.message;
    });
  }
});

You can found an example project inside /example.

Collections & Subscriptions #

Prepare your collections before use. You can use prepareCollection method in initState() or in your main function.

meteor.prepareCollection('your_collections');

Then access it with

meteor.collections['test']

which return rxdart's Observable that you can use it as a simple Stream. To make collections available in Flutter app you might make a subscription to your server with:

class YourWidget extends StatefulWidget {
  YourWidget() {}

  @override
  _YourWidgetState createState() => _YourWidgetState();
}

class _YourWidgetState extends State<YourWidget> {
  SubscriptionHandler _subscriptionHandler;

  @override
  void initState() {
    super.initState();
    meteor.prepareCollection('your_collection');
    _subscriptionHandler = meteor.subscribe('your_pub', []);
  }

  @override
  void dispose() {
    super.dispose();
    _subscriptionHandler.stop();
  }

  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return StreamBuilder(
      stream: meteor.collections['your_collection'],
      builder:
          (context, AsyncSnapshot<Map<String, dynamic>> snapshot) {
        int docCount = 0;
        if (snapshot.hasData) {
          docCount = snapshot.data.length;
        }
        return Text('Total document count: $docCount');
      },
    );
  }
}
