nullx 0.1.16

nullx is a collection of elegant extensions for handling null types in Dart.

nullx - dart nullability with confidence

nullx is a dart toolkit that enhances handling of nullable types, providing utilities for null-checking, navigating nullable structures, and robust error handling, for cleaner and more resilient code.

Features

• Provides utilities for null-checking
• Helps in navigating nullable structures
• Offers robust error handling
• Nullable types extensions

Getting started 🎉

To use this package, add nullx as a dependency in your pubspec.yaml file.

dependencies:
  nullx: ^latest_version

Here is a simple example of how to use nullx:

Collections

import 'package:nullx/nullx.dart';

void main() {
  final list = [1, null, 3, null];
  list.mapNonNull((item) => item * 2); // prints: [2, 6]
}

import 'package:nullx/nullx.dart';

void main() {
  final list = [1, null, 3, null];
  list.mapNonNullIndexed((item, index) => item * index); // prints: [0, 6]
}

import 'package:nullx/nullx.dart';

void main() {
  final List<int>? nullableList = [1, 2, 3];
  nullableList.whatIfNotNullOrEmpty(
    (list) => print(list), // whatIf
    () => print('List is null or empty'), // whatIfNot
  );
  // prints: [1, 2, 3]
}

import 'package:nullx/nullx.dart';

void main() {
  List<int>? nullableList = [1, 2, 3];
  print(nullableList.isNullOrEmpty); // prints: false

  nullableList = null;
  print(nullableList.isNullOrEmpty); // prints: true

  nullableList = [];
  print(nullableList.isNullOrEmpty); // prints: true
}

Types

import 'package:nullx/nullx.dart';

void main() {
  const String? nullableString = 'example';
  unwrapped(nullableString, (value) {});

  final List<String?> strings = [null, 'one', null, 'two', null];
  strings.map((s) => s.letNonNull((s) => s.length)).whereType<int>().toList();
}

import 'package:nullx/nullx.dart';

void main() {
    const int? nullableInt = 10;
    final resultInt = nullableInt.letNonNull((value) => value * 2); // prints: 2
}

import 'package:nullx/nullx.dart';

void main() {
  const int userAge = 20;
  executeIf(
    () => userAge >= 18,
    onConditionMet: () {
      // prints 'You are an adult.'
    },
    onConditionNotMet: () {
      // prints 'You are not an adult.'
    },
  );
}

import 'package:nullx/nullx.dart';

void main() {
  var userAge = 20;
  final result = executeIfAs<String>(
    () => userAge >= 18,
    onConditionMet: () => 'You are an adult.',
    onConditionNotMet: () => 'You are not an adult.',
  );
}

import 'package:nullx/nullx.dart';

void main() {
    void printValue(String value) {
      // prints 'The value is: $value'
    }

    notEmpty(nullableString, printValue);
}

import 'package:nullx/nullx.dart';

void main() {
    const String? nullableString = 'example';
    unwrapped(nullableString, (value) {}); // prints: 'example'
}

import 'package:nullx/nullx.dart';

void main() {
    var nullableString = 'Hello';
    nullableString.notEmpty((item) => print(item)); // prints: Hello
}

import 'package:nullx/nullx.dart';

void main() {
  const int userAge = 20;
  // Unwraps the nullable string and performs an operation on it
  callWhen(
    condition: () => userAge >= 18,
    onMet: () {
      // prints 'You are an adult.'
    },
    onNotMet: () {
      // prints 'You are not an adult.'
    },
  );
}

import 'package:nullx/nullx.dart';

void main() {
    const int? nullableInt = null;
    nullableInt.orZero; // Outputs: 0
    nullableInt.or(defaultValue: 5); // Outputs: 5

    const double? nullableDouble = null;
    nullableDouble.orZero; // Outputs: 0.0
    nullableDouble.or(defaultValue: 5.5); // Outputs: 5.5

    const bool? nullableBool = null;
    nullableBool.orFalse; // Outputs: false
    nullableBool.or(defaultValue: true); // Outputs: true
}

void main() {
    final Map<String, int>? nullableMap = {'a': 1, 'b': 2};
    print(nullableMap.isNullOrEmpty); // false
    print(nullableMap.getOrElse('c', 0)); // 0
    nullableMap.putIfAbsentOrElse('c', 3); // {a: 1, b: 2, c: 3}
    nullableMap.updateValue('a', (value) => value! + 10); // {a: 11, b: 2, c: 3}
    final filteredMap = nullableMap.filter((entry) => entry.value > 2);
    print(filteredMap); // {a: 11, c: 3}
}
