Version 0.4.0 (03-03-19)

BREAKING CHANGES

Due to various changes in the code this version could cause issues on apps based on a previous version. Now, all the StreamedObjects need to have passed their value to the initialData parameter of the StreamBuilder/StreamedWidget (e.g. using the getter value of the StreamedObjects). As an alternative, they can be used with the new ValueBuilder widget, it extends the StreamBuilder class and get the value from the StreamedObject to pass to the initialData parameter.

- AppStateModel

By extending the AppStateModel interface it is possible to create a class to drive the AppStateProvider in order to provide the data to the widgets.

- AppStateProvider

Simple state provider that extends a StatefulWidget and use an InheritedWidget to share the state with the widgets on the tree. Used along with streams, it is possibile for the widgets the access this data to modify it and propagates the changes on the entire widgets tree.

From the "theme changer" example:

1. Create a model for the app state:

class AppState extends AppStateModel {
  List<MyTheme> themes;
  StreamedValue<MyTheme> currentTheme;

  AppState() {
    print('-------APP STATE INIT--------');

    themes = List<MyTheme>();

    themes.addAll([
      MyTheme(
        name: 'Default',
        brightness: Brightness.light,
        backgroundColor: Colors.blue[50],
        scaffoldBackgroundColor: Colors.blue[50],
        primaryColor: Colors.blue,
        primaryColorBrightness: Brightness.dark,
        accentColor: Colors.blue[300],
      ),
      MyTheme(
        name: 'Teal',
        brightness: Brightness.light,
        backgroundColor: Colors.teal[50],
        scaffoldBackgroundColor: Colors.teal[50],
        primaryColor: Colors.teal[600],
        primaryColorBrightness: Brightness.dark,
        accentColor: Colors.teal[300],
      ),
      MyTheme(
        name: 'Orange',
        brightness: Brightness.light,
        backgroundColor: Colors.orange[50],
        scaffoldBackgroundColor: Colors.orange[50],
        primaryColor: Colors.orange[600],
        primaryColorBrightness: Brightness.dark,
        accentColor: Colors.orange[300],
      ),
    ]);

    currentTheme = StreamedValue();
  }

  void setTheme(MyTheme theme) {
    currentTheme.value = theme;
    Prefs.savePref<String>('theme', theme.name);
  }

  @override
  void init() async {    
    String lastTheme = await Prefs.getPref('theme');
    if (lastTheme != null) {
      currentTheme.value =
          themes.firstWhere((theme) => theme.name == lastTheme);
    } else {
      currentTheme.value = themes[1];
    }
  }

  @override
  dispose() {
    print('---------APP STATE DISPOSE-----------');
    currentTheme.dispose();
  }
}

2. Wrap the MaterialApp in the AppStateProvider:

void main() => runApp(App());

class App extends StatefulWidget {
  @override
  _AppState createState() => _AppState();
}

class _AppState extends State<App> {
  AppState appState;

  @override
  void initState() {
    super.initState();
    appState = AppState();
  }

  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return AppStateProvider<AppState>(
      appState: appState,
      child: MaterialPage(),
    );
  }
}

3. Consume the data:

class MaterialPage extends StatelessWidget {
  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    var theme = AppStateProvider.of<AppState>(context).currentTheme;

    return ValueBuilder<MyTheme>(
        stream: theme,
        builder: (context, snapshot) {
          return MaterialApp(
              title: "Theme and drawer starter app",
              theme: _buildThemeData(snapshot.data),                  
              home: HomePage());
        });
  }

  _buildThemeData(MyTheme appTheme) {
    return ThemeData(
      brightness: appTheme.brightness,
      backgroundColor: appTheme.backgroundColor,
      scaffoldBackgroundColor: appTheme.scaffoldBackgroundColor,
      primaryColor: appTheme.primaryColor,
      primaryColorBrightness: appTheme.primaryColorBrightness,
      accentColor: appTheme.accentColor,
    );
  }
}

4. Change the data (using a stream):

class SettingsPage extends StatelessWidget {
  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    var appState = AppStateProvider.of<AppState>(context);

    _buildThemesList() {
      return appState.themes.map((MyTheme appTheme) {
        return DropdownMenuItem<MyTheme>(
          value: appTheme,
          child: Text(appTheme.name, style: TextStyle(fontSize: 14.0)),
        );
      }).toList();
    }

    return Scaffold(
      appBar: AppBar(
        centerTitle: true,
        title: Text(
          "Settings",
        ),
      ),
      body: Container(
        padding: EdgeInsets.all(8.0),
        child: Column(
          children: <Widget>[
            Column(
              mainAxisAlignment: MainAxisAlignment.start,
              children: <Widget>[
                Padding(
                  padding: const EdgeInsets.all(8.0),
                  child: Text(
                    'Choose a theme:',
                    style: TextStyle(fontWeight: FontWeight.w500),
                  ),
                ),         
                ValueBuilder<MyTheme>(
                    stream: appState.currentTheme,
                    builder: (context, snapshot) {
                      return DropdownButton<MyTheme>(
                        hint: Text("Status"),
                        value: snapshot.data,
                        items: _buildThemesList(),
                        onChanged: appState.setTheme,
                      );
                    }),
              ],
            ),
          ],
        ),
      ),
    );
  }
}

- ValueBuilder widget

Similar to the StreamedWidget, it extends the StreamBuilder class but takes as a stream parameter an object that implements the StreamedObject interface.

From the previous example:

ValueBuilder<MyTheme>(
  stream: theme,        
  builder: (context, snapshot) {
    return MaterialApp(
      title: "Theme and drawer starter app",
      theme: _buildThemeData(snapshot.data),
      home: HomePage(),
    );
  }
)

- Helper class with static metods for the SharedPreferences package

1. savePrefs(String Key, T value)

2. saveStringList(String Key, List

3. getPref(String key)

3. getKeys()

3. remove(String key)

StreamedObjects

- Added the onChange method. It calls a function every time the stream updates.

- More details in the debugMode.

- Code refactoring

Version 0.3.0 (24-02-19)

- StreamedList and StreamedMap classes

Breaking change:

StreamedList and StreamedMap by default aren't initialiazed (to avoid that when using them along with a StreamBuilder/StreamedWidget the snaphost.hasData is true from the beginning,becoming harder to show for example a loading spinner without using a workaround).

- "initialData" parameter

• Added initialData parameter to the constructor to all the streamed classes to initialize the stream with an initial data.

- Code refactoring

Version 0.2.0 (22-02-19)

- StreamedList class

Methods added:

• replaceAt
• replace

Version 0.1.3 (11-02-19)

- Changed console messages behavior and added debugMode method.

By default, the debug console messages on disposing of streams are now disabled. Use this method to reenable this behavior.

e.g. from the "StreamedObjects" example:

    // Activate the debug console messages on disposing
    count.debugMode();
    countMemory.debugMode();
    countHistory.debugMode();
    timerObject.debugMode();
    counterObj.debugMode();

This will be applied to:

• StreamedValue
• StreamedTransformed
• MemoryObject
• HistoryObject
• StreamedList
• StreamedMap

Version 0.1.2 (10-02-19)

AnimatedObject

- Added getter and setter for the value of the AnimatedObject:

Intead of animateObject.animation.value, now the current value of the animation it is accessible just by using the 'value' setter/getter:

animatedObject.value += 0.1;
// It is the same as animatedObject.animation.value += 0.1

AnimatedObject example updated

- Added multiple rotations

Blur widgets

- Code refactoring

Version 0.1.1 (29-01-19)

- Documentation improved

- Code refactoring

- New widgets:

• BlurWidget
• BlurInWidget
• BlurOutWidget
• AnimatedBlurWidget
• WavesWidget

Version 0.1.0 (26-01-19)

- Released as package

- Code refactoring

Version 0.0.3 (24-01-19)

- Added the FadeInWidget

- Added the FadeOutWidget

- Added the StagedWidget

- StagedObject class

1. Added the onEnd callback

2. The widgetsMap property was renamed to stagesMap

Version 0.0.2

- StreamedList class

1. Added a getter for the length of the list

e.g. streamedList.length

it is the same as: streamedList.value.length

2. Methods added:

• removeElement
• removeAt
• clear

- StreamedMap class

1. Added a getter for the length of the map

e.g. streamedMap.length

it is the same as: streamedMap.value.length

2. Methods added:

• AddKey
• removeKey
• clear
