resilify 1.1.1

Unified Result-based API handling for Dart & Flutter — works with http, Dio, Retrofit, Chopper, and WebSocket. No exceptions. Just results.

resilify

No exceptions. Just results.

resilify gives you a single, exception-free, Result<T>-based API across the most popular Dart networking libraries — http, Dio, Retrofit, Chopper, and web_socket_channel. The core is dependency-free; integrations are layered on top so you only pay for what you use.

Why resilify?

Try-catch hell:

Future<User> fetchUser(String id) async {
  try {
    final response = await dio.get('/users/$id');
    return User.fromJson(response.data);
  } on DioException catch (e) {
    if (e.type == DioExceptionType.connectionTimeout) {
      throw TimeoutException();
    } else if (e.response?.statusCode == 404) {
      throw NotFoundException();
    } else {
      throw NetworkException();
    }
  } on FormatException {
    throw ParsingException();
  }
}

…vs. one Result:

Future<Result<User>> fetchUser(String id) {
  return api.get<User>(
    '/users/$id',
    parser: (json) => User.fromJson(json! as Map<String, dynamic>),
  );
}

// Caller:
final result = await fetchUser('42');
result.when(
  success: (user) => print('Hello ${user.name}'),
  error:   (failure) => print('Failed: ${failure.message}'),
);

No exceptions thrown from the public API. Failures are values the type system forces you to handle.

Installation

dependencies:
  resilify: ^1.0.0

Then add the transports you need (already pulled in transitively by the matching integration barrel):

  dio: ^5.4.0
  http: ^1.2.0
  retrofit: ^4.1.0
  chopper: ^8.0.0
  web_socket_channel: ^3.0.0

Import only the integrations you actually use:

import 'package:resilify/resilify.dart';            // core (no networking deps)
import 'package:resilify/resilify_dio.dart';        // Dio + logger
import 'package:resilify/resilify_http.dart';       // package:http
import 'package:resilify/resilify_retrofit.dart';   // Retrofit
import 'package:resilify/resilify_chopper.dart';    // Chopper
import 'package:resilify/resilify_websocket.dart';  // WebSocket

Quick start (5 lines)

final api = HttpResultHandler(baseUrl: 'https://api.example.com');
final result = await api.get<User>(
  '/users/me',
  parser: (json) => User.fromJson(json! as Map<String, dynamic>),
);
result.when(success: print, error: (f) => print(f.message));

---

http — quick prototypes

import 'package:resilify/resilify_http.dart';

final api = HttpResultHandler(
  baseUrl: 'https://api.example.com',
  defaultHeaders: const {'Accept': 'application/json'},
  timeout: const Duration(seconds: 15),
);

final result = await api.get<List<Post>>(
  '/posts',
  parser: (json) => (json! as List)
      .cast<Map<String, dynamic>>()
      .map(Post.fromJson)
      .toList(),
);

---

Dio — enterprise apps + file transfers

import 'package:resilify/resilify_dio.dart';

final dio = Dio(BaseOptions(baseUrl: 'https://api.example.com'))
  ..interceptors.add(ResultLoggerInterceptor(logHeaders: true));
final api = DioResultHandler(dio);

final user = await api.get<User>(
  '/users/me',
  parser: (data) => User.fromJson(data! as Map<String, dynamic>),
);

Upload with progress

final form = FormData.fromMap({
  'file': await MultipartFile.fromFile('/tmp/photo.jpg'),
});

final result = await api.upload<Map<String, dynamic>>(
  '/uploads',
  formData: form,
  onSendProgress: (sent, total) =>
      print('${(sent / total * 100).toStringAsFixed(1)}%'),
  parser: (json) => json! as Map<String, dynamic>,
);

Download with progress

final result = await api.download(
  '/files/manual.pdf',
  '/tmp/manual.pdf',
  onReceiveProgress: (received, total) =>
      print('$received / $total bytes'),
);

---

Retrofit — type-safe clean code

@RestApi(baseUrl: 'https://api.example.com')
abstract class UserApi {
  factory UserApi(Dio dio) = _UserApi;

  @GET('/users/{id}')
  Future<User> getUser(@Path('id') String id);
}

import 'package:resilify/resilify_retrofit.dart';

final api = UserApi(Dio());
final result = await api.getUser('42').toResult();

---

Chopper — type-safe clean code

import 'package:resilify/resilify_chopper.dart';

final api = PetsApi.create();
final result = await api.getPet('42').toResult(
  failureMapper: (response) => Failure.badResponse(
    code: response.statusCode,
    message: 'Pet API failed',
    cause: response.error,
  ),
);

---

WebSocket — real-time updates

import 'package:resilify/resilify_websocket.dart';

final ws = WebSocketResultHandler<Map<String, dynamic>>(
  channelFactory: () => WebSocketChannel.connect(
    Uri.parse('wss://api.example.com/feed'),
  ),
  parser: (raw) => jsonDecode(raw as String) as Map<String, dynamic>,
  reconnect: const ReconnectConfig(
    initialDelay: Duration(seconds: 1),
    maxDelay: Duration(seconds: 30),
    backoffFactor: 2.0,
  ),
);

ws.stream.listen((result) {
  result.when(
    success: (msg) => print('event: $msg'),
    error:   (f)   => print('ws error: ${f.message}'),
  );
});
ws.send(jsonEncode({'subscribe': 'ticker'}));

---

Retry with exponential backoff

final result = await RetryHelper.retry<User>(
  () => api.get<User>('/users/me', parser: User.fromJsonRaw),
  maxAttempts: 3,
  delay: const Duration(milliseconds: 500),
  backoffFactor: 2.0,
  retryIf: (failure) => failure.code == 503 || failure is Failure,
  onRetry: (attempt, failure) =>
      print('attempt $attempt failed: ${failure.message}'),
);

---

Logger usage

final dio = Dio()
  ..interceptors.add(ResultLoggerInterceptor(
    logRequest: true,
    logResponse: true,
    logError: true,
    logHeaders: false,
    logBody: true,
    logger: (line) => myLogger.fine(line), // plug into Sentry, logger, etc.
  ));

API reference

Symbol	Purpose
Result<T> / Success / Error	Sealed result type and its variants
Failure	Structured error value with named constructors
Result.when / fold	Pattern-match on success / error
Result.map / flatMap	Transform / chain successful results
Result.getOrElse / getOrThrow	Unwrap with default or escalate to exception
Future<Result>.mapAsync etc.	Async transformations without nesting
Stream<Result>.dataStream etc.	Stream-friendly helpers
Result<List>.mapList / filter	Operate on the underlying collection
RetryHelper.retry	Backoff-driven retries with predicates
HttpResultHandler	package:http adapter
DioResultHandler	Dio adapter incl. upload/download
ResultLoggerInterceptor	Pretty Dio interceptor
WebSocketResultHandler	Reconnecting WebSocket with Result events
Future<T>.toResult()	Retrofit / Chopper bridge

---

dart:core.Error collision

The Error variant of Result<T> shadows dart:core.Error. If you need both in the same file, hide one at the import site:

import 'package:resilify/resilify.dart';
import 'dart:core' hide Error;

…or import dart:core with a prefix:

import 'dart:core' as core;
core.Error someStdError;
