简体中文

Flutter widgets and lifecycle integration for Kache, with no third-party state management dependency. This package re-exports the complete kache API.

Installation

flutter pub add kache_flutter

Quick start

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

typedef Profile = ({String name});

Widget createProfileApp({required Future<Profile> Function() fetchProfile}) =>
    KacheScope(
      client: KacheClient(),
      ownership: KacheScopeOwnership.owned,
      child: MaterialApp(
        home: Scaffold(
          body: KacheBuilder<Profile>(
            query: KacheQuery<Profile>.memory(
              key: KacheKey('profile'),
              fetch: (_) => fetchProfile(),
            ),
            builder: (context, snapshot, controller) {
              if (!snapshot.hasData) {
                return Center(
                  child: snapshot.isFailed
                      ? FilledButton(
                          onPressed: controller.load,
                          child: const Text('Try again'),
                        )
                      : const CircularProgressIndicator(),
                );
              }
              return RefreshIndicator(
                onRefresh: () async => controller.refresh(),
                child: ListView(
                  physics: const AlwaysScrollableScrollPhysics(),
                  children: <Widget>[
                    ListTile(
                      title: Text(snapshot.requireData.name),
                      subtitle: snapshot.hasFailure
                          ? const Text('Refresh failed - showing cached data')
                          : null,
                      trailing: snapshot.isRefreshing
                          ? const CircularProgressIndicator()
                          : const Icon(Icons.cloud_done),
                    ),
                  ],
                ),
              );
            },
          ),
        ),
      ),
    );

The builder loads automatically. Cached data remains visible during background refresh and after refresh failures. Pull to refresh calls the same deduplicated query explicitly.

Widgets

• KacheScope exposes a client, pauses polling outside the foreground, and bridges AppLifecycleState.resumed to policy-driven revalidation. It also defers reconnect work until the app returns to the foreground.
• KacheBuilder<T> owns one KacheController<T> and rebuilds from complete snapshots.
• KacheListener<T> performs side effects without rebuilding its child.
• KacheController<T> is a ValueListenable<KacheSnapshot<T>> and exposes all resource commands.

When a widget receives a new query with the same key, the controller updates the handle's fetcher and policy without losing shared data. A different key releases the previous handle and binds a new one.

Ownership

KacheScopeOwnership.borrowed is the default. Use owned only when the scope is the application boundary responsible for closing the client. Builders, listeners, and controllers own resource handles, never the client.

Lifecycle errors can be routed through KacheScope.onError. Without a custom handler, they are reported through FlutterError.reportError.

Set refreshInterval on a query policy for active polling. The scope pauses those timers for inactive, hidden, paused, and detached app states, then starts a fresh interval on resume before applying refreshOnResume.

With a configured KacheNetwork, the scope keeps observing availability while backgrounded but pauses reconnect revalidation. Resume consumes at most one pending recovery. The official plugin adapter is kache_connectivity_plus.

Persistence

Add kache_hive_ce as a direct dependency when the application imports it. Open the store before creating the scope, configure an owned backend on the client, and use a persisted query binding. Codec and migration logic stay in the storage package.
