Flutter package that provides a collection of services.

jh_services 0.0.1

jh_services is a Flutter package that provides a collection of services for handling common tasks in your Flutter applications, such as shared preferences, network requests, image and file picking, and checking internet connectivity.

Features

• Shared Preferences Service: Manage local storage using shared preferences.
• Network Service: Handle network requests with customizable configurations.
• Image Picker Service: Pick images from the device's gallery or camera.
• File Picker Service: Select files from the device's file system.
• Connectivity Service: Check internet connectivity status and listen for changes.

Installation

Add jh_services to your pubspec.yaml file:

dependencies:
  jh_services: ^0.0.1

Usage

1. Setup Service Locator

Before using any of the services, you need to set up the service locator in your Flutter application. You can do this in your main.dart file:

import 'package:flutter/material.dart';
import 'package:jh_services/jh_services.dart';

void main() {
   setupServiceLocator(
    sharedPrefsConfig:SharedPrefsConfig() ,
    connectivityConfig: ConnectivityConfig(),
    networkConfig: NetworkConfig(baseUrl: 'https://api.example.com',
     defaultHeaders:  {
      'Content-Type': 'application/json',
      // Other headers if necessary
    },),
  );
  
  runApp(MyApp());
}

2. Initialize Services

You should initialize the services before using them. This is typically done in your main.dart file after setting up the service locator:

Future<void> main() async {
  WidgetsFlutterBinding.ensureInitialized();

  setupServiceLocator(
    sharedPrefsConfig:SharedPrefsConfig() ,
    connectivityConfig: ConnectivityConfig(),
    networkConfig: NetworkConfig(baseUrl: 'https://api.example.com',
     defaultHeaders:  {
      'Content-Type': 'application/json',
      // Other headers if necessary
    },),
  );
  runApp(MyApp());
}

3. Using the Services

Shared Preferences Service

import 'package:jh_services/jh_services.dart';

final sharedPrefsService = serviceLocator<SharedPrefsService>();

// Example of saving a value
await sharedPrefsService.saveString('key', 'value');

// Example of retrieving a value
String? value = await sharedPrefsService.getString('key');

Network Service

import 'package:jh_services/jh_services.dart';

final networkService = serviceLocator<NetworkService>();

// Example of making a GET request
final response = await networkService.get('/endpoint');

// Example of making a POST request
final postResponse = await networkService.post('/endpoint', data: {'key': 'value'});

// Making a POST request with FormData
final formDataResponse = await networkService.post(
  '/upload',
  data: {
    'file': await convertImageToMultipartFile(image), // Example of using FormData
  },
  isFormData: true,
);

Exception Handling in jh_services

The jh_services package provides a robust error-handling mechanism when making network requests using Dio. Each type of network error throws a ServerException, which contains details such as an error message, the specific error type, and a status code.

Error Handling

The following table outlines the status codes returned for each DioExceptionType in case of an error:

Dio Exception Type	Status Code	Description
DioExceptionType.connectionTimeout	408	The request timed out while connecting to the server.
DioExceptionType.sendTimeout	504	The request timed out while sending data to the server.
DioExceptionType.receiveTimeout	504	The request timed out while receiving data from the server.
DioExceptionType.badCertificate	495	The SSL certificate is invalid.
DioExceptionType.cancel	499	The client canceled the request.
DioExceptionType.connectionError	503	There was a network connection error.
DioExceptionType.unknown	520	An unknown error occurred.
DioExceptionType.badResponse	Varies	Depends on the status code from the server (e.g., 400, 401, 403, 404, 409, 422, 504).

Example of Handling Exceptions

When you make a network request and an error occurs, a ServerException is thrown, which you can catch and process as follows:

try {
  final response = await networkService.get('/endpoint');
  print(response);
} on ServerException catch (e) {
  // Handle the exception
  print('Error: ${e.errorModel.message}');
  print('Status Code: ${e.errorModel.statusCode}');
}

Image Picker Service

import 'package:jh_services/jh_services.dart';

final imagePickerService = serviceLocator<ImagePickerService>();

// Example of picking an image
final imagePath = await imagePickerService.pickImage();

File Picker Service

import 'package:jh_services/jh_services.dart';

final filePickerService = serviceLocator<FilePickerService>();

// Example of picking a single file
final filePath = await filePickerService.pickSingleFile(allowedExtensions: ['pdf', 'docx']);

// Example of picking multiple files
final filePaths = await filePickerService.pickMultipleFiles();

Connectivity Service

import 'package:jh_services/jh_services.dart';

final connectivityService = serviceLocator<ConnectivityService>();

// Example of checking current connectivity status
final isConnected = await connectivityService.isConnected();

// Listening to connectivity changes
connectivityService.connectionStream.listen((isConnected) {
  print('Connected: $isConnected');
});
