orchestrator_core 0.2.0

Event-Driven Orchestrator architecture for Dart/Flutter. Separate UI state management from business logic execution with SignalBus and Dispatcher pattern.

orchestrator_core

Event-Driven Orchestrator architecture for Dart/Flutter applications. Separate UI state management from business logic execution.

Features

• SignalBus: Broadcast stream for event communication (Global or Scoped)
• Dispatcher: Type-based job routing with O(1) lookup
• BaseExecutor: Abstract executor with error boundary, timeout, retry, cancellation
• BaseOrchestrator: State machine with Active/Passive event routing
• CancellationToken: Token-based task cancellation
• RetryPolicy: Configurable retry with exponential backoff
• JobBuilder: Fluent API for configuring jobs
• JobResult: Sealed class for type-safe result handling
• AsyncState: Common state patterns for async operations

Installation

dependencies:
  orchestrator_core: ^0.0.3

Quick Start

1. Define a Job

class FetchUserJob extends BaseJob {
  final String userId;
  FetchUserJob(this.userId) : super(id: generateJobId('user'));
}

2. Create an Executor

class FetchUserExecutor extends BaseExecutor<FetchUserJob> {
  @override
  Future<dynamic> process(FetchUserJob job) async {
    return await api.getUser(job.userId);
  }
}

3. Create an Orchestrator

class UserOrchestrator extends BaseOrchestrator<UserState> {
  UserOrchestrator() : super(const UserState());

  void loadUser(String id) {
    emit(state.copyWith(isLoading: true));
    dispatch(FetchUserJob(id));
  }

  @override
  void onActiveSuccess(JobSuccessEvent event) {
    emit(state.copyWith(user: event.data, isLoading: false));
  }
}

Advanced Usage

JobBuilder - Fluent Configuration

final job = JobBuilder(FetchUserJob(userId))
    .withTimeout(Duration(seconds: 30))
    .withRetry(maxRetries: 3)
    .withCache(key: 'user_$userId', ttl: Duration(minutes: 5))
    .withPlaceholder(User.placeholder())
    .build();

orchestrator.dispatch(job);

JobResult - Type-Safe Results

// Wait for job completion with proper result handling
final jobId = orchestrator.dispatch(FetchUserJob(userId));
final result = await JobResult.fromBus<User>(SignalBus.instance, jobId);

result.when(
  success: (user) => print('Got user: ${user.name}'),
  failure: (error, _) => print('Failed: $error'),
  cancelled: (_) => print('User cancelled'),
  timeout: (duration) => print('Timed out after $duration'),
);

AsyncState - Common State Patterns

class UserState extends AsyncState<User> {
  const UserState({super.status, super.data, super.error});

  UserState copyWith({AsyncStatus? status, User? data, Object? error}) =>
      UserState(
        status: status ?? this.status,
        data: data ?? this.data,
        error: error,
      );
}

// Usage in orchestrator
void onActiveSuccess(JobSuccessEvent event) {
  emit(state.toSuccess(event.data as User));
}

void onActiveFailure(JobFailureEvent event) {
  emit(state.toFailure(event.error));
}

Event Extensions - Easy Data Extraction

void onActiveSuccess(JobSuccessEvent event) {
  // Safe type casting with fallback
  final user = event.dataOrNull<User>();
  if (user != null) {
    emit(state.copyWith(user: user));
  }

  // Or use pattern with default
  final count = event.dataOr<int>(0);
}
