Features

This package lets you use pre-built providers, or custom ones, for your models. These providers then use services to manage your data repositories.

Getting started

• Go inside your pubspec.yaml file
• Add this line under the dependencies:

flutter_fit_utils_provider: ^1.0.0

• Get dependencies

flutter pub get

Usage

Check out example/main.dart for the complete implementation.

Creating a provider

Create a class that extends DataProvider or ItemsProvider. Use DataProvider if you want to provide a single modelable. On the contrary, use ItemsProvider if yout want to provide a list of modelables. It's that easy !

/// Provider for [User] data.
class UserProvider extends DataProvider<User> {
  /// Creates a new [UserProvider].
  UserProvider(super.service, super.factoryFunc);

  @override
  bool isInstanceValid(User instance) {
    /// Implement your logic here...
    return instance.name != "Bob";
  }
}

If you need, you can override methods to implement your own logic.

/// Provider for [User] data.
class UserProvider extends DataProvider<User> {
  /// Creates a new [UserProvider].
  UserProvider(super.service, super.factoryFunc);

  @override
  Future<void> initialize({dynamic data, String userId = ""}) async {
    /// Your own logic here.
  }

  @override
  bool isInstanceValid(User instance) {
    /// Implement your logic here...
    return instance.name != "Bob";
  }
}

You can always create a custom provider by inheriting FitProvider or FitFormProvider.

Waiting for the initialization of your provider

FitProviders have an initialization stream that you can listen to. This way, you can update your UI when your provider is ready.

class MyApp extends StatelessWidget {
  const MyApp({super.key});

  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return StreamBuilder<bool>(
      stream: context.read<UserProvider>().initializationStream,
      builder: (context, snapshot) {
        if (!context.watch<UserProvider>().initialized) {
          return const CircularProgressIndicator();
        }

        // Show your UI here.
        return const SizedBox.shrink();
      },
    );
  }
}
