hydrated_bloc 6.0.0

An extension to the bloc state management library which automatically persists and restores bloc states.

An extension to package:bloc which automatically persists and restores bloc and cubit states. Built to work with package:bloc.

Overview

hydrated_bloc exports a Storage interface which means it can work with any storage provider. Out of the box, it comes with its own implementation: HydratedStorage.

HydratedStorage is built on top of hive for a platform-agnostic, performant storage layer. See the complete example for more details.

Usage

Setup HydratedStorage

void main() async {
  WidgetsFlutterBinding.ensureInitialized();
  HydratedBloc.storage = await HydratedStorage.build();
  runApp(App());
}

Create a HydratedCubit

class CounterCubit extends HydratedCubit<int> {
  CounterCubit() : super(0);

  void increment() => emit(state + 1);

  @override
  int fromJson(Map<String, dynamic> json) => json['value'] as int;

  @override
  Map<String, int> toJson(int state) => { 'value': state };
}

Create a HydratedBloc

enum CounterEvent { increment }

class CounterBloc extends HydratedBloc<CounterEvent, int> {
  CounterBloc() : super(0);

  @override
  Stream<int> mapEventToState(CounterEvent event) async* {
    switch (event) {
      case CounterEvent.increment:
        yield state + 1;
        break;
    }
  }

  @override
  int fromJson(Map<String, dynamic> json) => json['value'] as int;

  @override
  Map<String, int> toJson(int state) => { 'value': state };
}

Now the CounterCubit and CounterBloc will automatically persist/restore their state. We can increment the counter value, hot restart, kill the app, etc... and the previous state will be retained.

HydratedMixin

class CounterCubit extends Cubit<int> with HydratedMixin {
  CounterCubit() : super(0) {
    hydrate();
  }

  void increment() => emit(state + 1);

  @override
  int fromJson(Map<String, dynamic> json) => json['value'] as int;

  @override
  Map<String, int> toJson(int state) => { 'value': state };
}

Custom Storage Directory

By default, all data is written to temporary storage which means it can be wiped by the operating system at any point in time.

An optional storageDirectory can be provided to override the default temporary storage directory:

HydratedBloc.storage = await HydratedStorage.build(
  storageDirectory: await getApplicationDocumentsDirectory(),
);

Custom Hydrated Storage

If the default HydratedStorage doesn't meet your needs, you can always implement a custom Storage by simply implementing the Storage interface and initializing HydratedBloc with the custom Storage.

// my_hydrated_storage.dart

class MyHydratedStorage implements Storage {
  @override
  dynamic read(String key) {
    // TODO: implement read
  }

  @override
  Future<void> write(String key, dynamic value) async {
    // TODO: implement write
  }

  @override
  Future<void> delete(String key) async {
    // TODO: implement delete
  }

  @override
  Future<void> clear() async {
    // TODO: implement clear
  }
}

// main.dart

HydratedBloc.storage = MyHydratedStorage();
