lazy_evaluation 1.0.0

A simple package to cache and lazily evaluate objects that have a expensive initialization process.

example/main.dart

import 'dart:math' as math;
import 'package:lazy_evaluation/lazy_evaluation.dart';

class Circle {
  Circle(this.radius)
      : _circumference = Lazy(() => math.pi * radius * 2),
        _area = Lazy(() async {
          // simulating something heavy and asynchronous
          await Future.delayed(const Duration(seconds: 2));
          return math.pi * math.pow(radius, 2);
        });

  final double radius;

  final Lazy<Future<double>> _area;
  final Lazy<double> _circumference;
  Future<double> get area => _area.value;
  double get circumference => _circumference.value;
}

Future<void> main() async {
  final circle = Circle(4);
  print(circle.circumference);
  print(await circle.area); // prints area with a 2 seconds delay
  print(await circle.area); // prints area immediately
}
