Networking Plugin for Flutter

This plugin provides networking capabilities for your Flutter application. It includes functionality for making various types of HTTP requests and handling API responses. The module is organized into several files:

How to Use

1. Import the networking module in your Dart files:

   import 'package:network/flutter_network.dart';
   

2. Create an instance of FlutterNetwork to make HTTP requests:

   FlutterNetwork flutterNetwork = FlutterNetwork(
     baseUrl: 'https://api.example.com',
     tokenCallBack: () {
      return Future.value();
    },
   );
   

3. Use the flutterNetwork instance to make HTTP requests:

   Response<dynamic> response = await flutterNetwork.get(
     '/endpoint',
     apiType: APIType.protected,
     data: {'requestBody': requestBody}  
     query: {'param': 'value'},
   );
   

Features:

1. Flutter Network:

   • Supports HTTP methods like GET, POST, PUT, PATCH, and DELETE.
   • Easily customizable with various options such as headers, timeouts, and more.

2. Error Handling:

   • Failure class representing different types of failure responses from the server.
   • Concrete classes like BadRequest, Unauthorized, etc., extend the Failure class.

3. Caching:

   • Integrated caching functionality using dio_cache_interceptor.
   • CacheOptions: To enable caching for your HTTP requests, make sure to include the CacheOptions when initializing FlutterNetwork. Example:

     final FlutterNetwork flutterNetwork = FlutterNetwork(
       baseUrl: "https://api.example.com",
       cacheOptions: CacheOptions(
         store: MemCacheStore(maxSize: 10485760, maxEntrySize: 1048576),
         policy: CachePolicy.forceCache,
         maxStale: const Duration(days: 10),
         priority: CachePriority.high,
       ),
     );
     

     Customize the CacheOptions to tailor caching behavior according to your specific requirements.
   • Easily add the retry feature to your HTTP requests by including the RetryInterceptor when initializing FlutterNetwork. Example:

     final FlutterNetwork flutterNetwork = FlutterNetwork(
      baseUrl: "https://api.example.com",
      retryInterceptor: RetryInterceptor(
        dio: dio, // specify your Dio instance
        logPrint: print, // specify log function (optional)
        retries: 3, // retry count (optional)
        retryDelays: const [
          Duration(seconds: 1), // wait 1 sec before the first retry
          Duration(seconds: 2), // wait 2 sec before the second retry
          Duration(seconds: 3), // wait 3 sec before the third retry
        ],
      ),
     );
     

     Customize the RetryInterceptor parameters to define your preferred retry strategy, including the number of retries and delays between retries.

4. Token-based Authentication:

   • Easy integration of authentication tokens with the tokenCallBack function.
   • The FlutterNetwork instance automatically handles the authentication token for protected API calls, eliminating the need to pass it multiple times during initialization.

5. Dependency Management:

   • Utilizes popular packages like dio, dio_smart_retry, dio_cache_interceptor, and pretty_dio_logger.

6. Customizable:

   • Can be easily customized to suit your application's specific requirements.

Dependencies:

• dio: 5.3.4
• dio_smart_retry: 6.0.0
• dio_cache_interceptor: 3.5.0
• pretty_dio_logger: 1.3.1

Feel free to customize the networking module to suit your application's requirements. Happy networking!
