Flutter Widget Model

Package that allows you to treat your models like widgets. Used with [flutter_hooks].

Getting Started

Add this to your package's pubspec.yaml file:

dependencies:
  flutter_widget_model: ^0.4.0

You should then run flutter packages upgrade.

Usage

import 'package:flutter_widget_model/flutter_widget_model.dart';

Feature

Three data structures

This package treats the data as restricted to three structures

• Field
  • It deals with a single piece of data, such as a string or a number.
• Document
  • This is a hash map that can hold multiple units by pairing them with a key.
• Collection
  • Saves multiple Documents (or Units) in order.

You can also save them in a tree structure and retrieve them by specifying the path.

For example, if your user's name is in the following path, you can retrieve the data by specifying the path "user/user_id/name" to get the Unit with the user's name in it.

You could also specify "user/user_id" to get a document with the user's data.

You can also retrieve a collection containing multiple users by specifying 'user'.

user/user_id/name

This data structure is very similar to NoSQL, especially to Firestore's data structure, so you can handle the data as if you were working with those databases.

Model Widgets

You can treat your data model like a widget. You can use it just like any other widget inside the build method.

void build(BuildContext context){
  return Scaffold(
    appBar: AppBar(
      title: Text("Title"),
    ),
    body: ListView(
      children: DataCollectionModel("user").map(
        (item) => ListTile(
          title: Text(item.getString("uid")),
        ),
      ).toList(),
    ),
    floatingActionButton: FloatingActionButton(
      onPressed: () {
        DataCollectionModel("user").append(
          Texts.uuid,
          builder: (doc) {
            doc["uid"] = Texts.uuid;
          },
        );
      },
      child: Icon(Icons.add),
    ),
  );
}

It also allows you to combine multiple model widgets into a single model widget, like a widget.

class TestModel extends CollectionModel<IDataCollection> {
  @override
  FutureOr build(ModelContext context) async {
    final path =
        FirestoreDocumentModel("app/setting").getString("userPath");
    if (isEmpty(path)) return null;
    return FirestoreCollectionModel(path);
  }
}

Using flutter_hooks

Because we are using flutter_hooks on the back side, we are using You can still use the flutter_hooks features such as useState.

Also, if you create a widget, you need to extend HookWidget.

Example

class HookTest extends HookWidget {
  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return Scaffold(
      appBar: AppBar(
        title: Text("Title"),
      ),
      body: ListView(
        children: DataCollectionModel("user").map(
          (item) => ListTile(
            title: Text(item.getString("uid")),
          ),
        ).toList(),
      ),
      floatingActionButton: FloatingActionButton(
        onPressed: () {
          DataCollectionModel("user").append(
            Texts.uuid,
            builder: (doc) {
              doc["uid"] = Texts.uuid;
            },
          );
        },
        child: Icon(Icons.add),
      ),
    );
  }
}
