Ecco

A simple, MVVM-focused state management solution for Flutter.

Features

• Lightweight and easy to understand
• Built with MVVM (Model-View-ViewModel) pattern in mind
• Efficient rebuilds with fine-grained reactivity
• Debug overlay for easy state visualization
• Supports Equatable for efficient state comparisons

Installation

Add ecco to your pubspec.yaml file:

dependencies:
  ecco: ^0.0.1+1

Then run:

flutter pub get

Usage

Basic Setup

1. Create your model and viewmodel classes:

class CounterModel {
  final int count;
  CounterModel({this.count = 0});
}

class CounterViewModel extends EccoNotifier<CounterModel> {
  CounterViewModel() : super(CounterModel());

  void increment() {
    ripple(CounterModel(count: state.count + 1));
  }
}

2. Wrap your app with EccoProvider:

EccoProvider<CounterModel>(
  notifier: CounterViewModel(),
  child: MyApp(),
)

Using EccoBuilder

Use EccoBuilder to rebuild parts of your UI when the state changes:

EccoBuilder<CounterModel>(
  builder: (context, model) {
    return Text('Count: ${model.count}');
  },
)

Using EccoConsumer

Use EccoConsumer to access both model and viewmodel in a widget:

EccoConsumer<CounterModel, CounterViewModel>(
  builder: (context, model, viewModel) {
    return ElevatedButton(
      onPressed: viewModel.increment,
      child: Text('Increment'),
    );
  },
)

Debug Overlay

To enable the debug overlay for state visualization, wrap your app with EccoDebugOverlay:

EccoDebugOverlay(
  child: MyApp(),
)

Advanced Usage

Using Equatable

Ecco supports the use of Equatable for efficient state comparisons:

class User with Equatable {
  final String name;
  final int age;

  User(this.name, this.age);

  @override
  List<Object> get props => [name, age];
}

Logging

Ecco provides built-in logging functionality:

// Enable logging
Eccoes.enable();

// Set log level
Eccoes.setLogLevel(EccoesLogLevel.debug);

// Log a message
Eccoes.log('This is a debug message', level: EccoesLogLevel.debug);

Best Practices

1. Keep your models immutable
2. Put business logic in your models
3. Put presentation logic in your viewmodels
4. Use EccoConsumer when you need access to both model and viewmodel
5. Use EccoBuilder for simple state-dependent UI updates
