Inspiration 💡

EventFlux was born from the inspiration I found in the flutter_client_sse package by Pratik Baid. His work laid a great foundation, and I aimed to build upon it, adding my own twist to enhance SSE stream management with better features. 🛠️

Why EventFlux? 🌟

• Streamlined Connection Handling: Easy setup for connecting to event streams with support for both GET and POST requests. 🔌
• Auto-Reconnect Capability: Seamlessly maintains your connection, automatically reconnecting in case of any interruptions. Devs can choose to do linear or exponential backoff 🔄
• Real-Time Data Management: Efficient processing and handling of real-time data streams. 📈
• Error Handling: Robust mechanisms to manage connection interruptions and stream errors. 🛡️
• Versatile Instance Creation: Offers both singleton and factory patterns for tailored SSE connections. 🌍
• Customizable: Extendable to fit various use cases and custom implementations. ✨

How to Use (Spoiler: It's Super Easy) 🔧

Here's a quick example to get you started:

The Simple Streamer ✨

 
Need just one SSE connection? It's a breeze with EventFlux! Perfect for when your app is dancing solo with a single SSE.

import 'package:eventflux/eventflux.dart';

void main() {
  // Connect and start the magic!
   EventFlux.instance.connect(
     EventFluxConnectionType.get,
     'https://example.com/events',
     onSuccessCallback: (EventFluxResponse? response) {
      response.stream?.listen((data) {
        // Your data is now in the spotlight!
      });
     },
     onError: (oops) {
      // Oops! Time to handle those little hiccups.
    },
    autoReconnect: true // Keep the party going, automatically!
    reconnectConfig: ReconnectConfig(
        mode = ReconnectMode.linear, // or exponential,
        interval = Duration(seconds: 5),
        maxAttempts = 5 // or -1 for infinite,
        onReconnect = () {
          // Things to execute when reconnect happens
        }
    ),
   );
}

Supercharged 🚀

 
When your app just need a multiple parallel SSE connections, use this.

import 'package:eventflux/eventflux.dart';

void main() {

  // Create separate EventFlux instances for each SSE connection
  EventFlux e1 = EventFlux.spawn();
  EventFlux e2 = EventFlux.spawn();

   // First connection - firing up!
  e1.connect(EventFluxConnectionType.get, 
     'https://example1.com/events',
     onSuccessCallback: (EventFluxResponse? data) {
       data.stream?.listen((data) {
        // Your 1st Stream's data is being fetched!
      });
     },
     onError: (oops) {
      // Oops! Time to handle those little hiccups.
      },
  );

   // Second connection - firing up!
   e2.connect(EventFluxConnectionType.get,
     'https://example2.com/events',
     onSuccessCallback: (EventFluxResponse? data) {
       data.stream?.listen((data) {
        // Your 2nd Stream's data is also being fetched!
      });
     },
     onError: (oops) {
      // Oops! Time to handle those little hiccups.
      },
    autoReconnect: true // Keep the party going, automatically!
    reconnectConfig: ReconnectConfig(
        mode = ReconnectMode.exponential, // or linear,
        interval = Duration(seconds: 5),
        maxAttempts = 5 // or -1 for infinite,
        onReconnect = () {
          // Things to execute when reconnect happens
        }
    ),
  );
}

ℹ️ Remember to disconnect all instances when you are done with it to avoid memory leaks.

EventFlux Class Documentation 📖

EventFlux is a Dart class for managing server-sent event streams. It provides methods for connecting to, disconnecting from, and managing SSE streams.

Connect

 
Connects to a server-sent event stream.

Parameter	Type	Description	Default
type	EventFluxConnectionType	The type of HTTP request (GET or POST).	-
url	String	The URL of the SSE stream to connect to.	-
header	Map<String, String>	HTTP headers for the request.	{'Accept': 'text/event-stream'}
onConnectionClose	Function()?	Callback function triggered when the connection is closed.	-
autoReconnect	bool	Whether to automatically reconnect on disconnection.	false
reconnectConfig	ReconnectConfig?	Configuration for auto-reconnect. If auto-reconnect is true, this is required	-
onSuccessCallback	Function(EventFluxResponse?)	Callback invoked upon successful connection.	-
onError	Function(EventFluxException)?	Callback for handling errors.	-
body	Map<String, dynamic>?	Optional body for POST request types.	-

Disconnect

 
Disconnects from the SSE stream.

Parameter	Type	Description
-	-	This method has no parameters.

Returns a Future<EventFluxStatus> indicating the disconnection status.  

Spawn

 

Parameter	Type	Description
-	-	This method has no parameters.

Returns a new instance of EventFlux, this is used for having multiple SSE connections.
