data_monitor 1.0.10

A Data Monitor package that encapsulates Annotations, Example and Utilities.

WARNING:

This package is in beta and still being tested. Please do not use it yet.

Details

This package allows Flutter projects to utilize State Management to overcome some of the limitations enforced by the framework.

Its main use is to create data repositories or models that allow callers to be notified when changes are made to member fields. These changes are tracked internally and cause Widgets that use the data to be rebuilt.

No more calls to setState().

Features

Can be used (with more efficiency) to rebuild StatelessWidget. You can remove all the verbose State code that is usually associated with a StatefulWidget.

Getting started

The package is very simple to use. Just add code like the following to your data model class:

@dataMonitor
abstract class ModelData extends ChangeNotifier {
  @monitor
  int count;

  @monitor
  String name = 'A Name';
}

Usage

A fully working Flutter Application that describes how to use the various features is available in the /example directory.

Additional information

Also included is a Code Generator that can be used with the build_runner package to automatically generate boilerplate code from @annotations like the ones seen above.
