🌍 Localization

Built-in support for multiple languages:

DynamicPolls(
  pollsLabels: PollsLabels.persian, // or .spanish, .arabic, .french, .german
  title: 'عنوان نظرسنجی',
  options: ['گزینه ۱', 'گزینه ۲'],
  // ...
)

💾 Vote Persistence

Votes are automatically saved locally when you provide an id:

DynamicPolls(
  id: 123, // Unique identifier
  title: 'Persistent Poll',
  options: ['Yes', 'No'],
  // ...
)

🔄 Real-time Updates

Using ValueNotifier

final voteNotifier = ValueNotifier<VoteData>(
  VoteData(totalVotes: 0, optionVotes: {}, percentages: {}),
);

DynamicPolls(
  voteNotifier: voteNotifier,
  // ...
)

// Listen to changes
voteNotifier.addListener(() {
  print('Total votes: ${voteNotifier.value.totalVotes}');
  print('Option votes: ${voteNotifier.value.optionVotes}');
  print('Percentages: ${voteNotifier.value.percentages}');
});

Using StreamController

final voteStream = StreamController<VoteData>.broadcast();

DynamicPolls(
  voteStream: voteStream,
  // ...
)

// Listen to stream
voteStream.stream.listen((voteData) {
  // Send to server
  sendToServer(voteData.toJson());
});

  List<PollModel> activePolls = [];
  List<PollModel> completedPolls = [];

  @override
  void initState() {
    super.initState();
    _loadPolls();
  }

  Future<void> _loadPolls() async {
    final response = await http.get(Uri.parse('YOUR_API/polls'));
    if (response.statusCode == 200) {
      final List<dynamic> data = json.decode(response.body);
      setState(() {
        activePolls = data
            .map((json) => PollModel.fromJson(json))
            .where((poll) => !poll.isExpired)
            .toList();
      });
    }
  }

  Future<void> _submitVote(int pollId, dynamic vote) async {
    await http.post(
      Uri.parse('YOUR_API/polls/$pollId/vote'),
      body: json.encode({'vote': vote}),
    );
  }

  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return ListView.builder(
      itemCount: activePolls.length,
      itemBuilder: (context, index) {
        final poll = activePolls[index];
        
        if (poll.isMultiSelect) {
          return MultiSelectDynamicPolls(
            id: poll.id,
            title: poll.title,
            options: poll.options,
            startDate: poll.startDate,
            endDate: poll.endDate,
            maxSelections: poll.maxSelections,
            onOptionsSelected: (indices) => _submitVote(poll.id, indices),
            onPollEnded: (isEnded) {
              if (isEnded) {
                setState(() {
                  activePolls.remove(poll);
                  completedPolls.add(poll);
                });
              }
            },
          );
        } else {
          return DynamicPolls(
            id: poll.id,
            title: poll.title,
            options: poll.options,
            startDate: poll.startDate,
