result_notifier 0.6.0

Pragmatic quality-of-life enhancements to vanilla Flutter state management

0.6.0

• BREAKING: Updated Data constructor to use named parameters for better algebraic data type support.
• Added immediate parameter to effect & asyncEffect methods on ResultListenable mixin/base class.

0.5.0

• BREAKING: Removed methods when, whenOr and whenData from Result - replace with pattern matching (i.e. switch) on Result.
• BREAKING: Removed ResultBuilder - replace with ValueListenableBuilder, method builder (on ResultNotifier or ResultListenable) or the watch method (on ResultNotifier or ValueListenable).
• BREAKING: future getter in ResultNotifier will now only return a value on isData instead of hasData.
• Added future setter in ResultNotifier.
• Removed Disposer typedef and replaced with VoidCallback.

0.4.1+1

• Added relevant topics to pubspec.yaml.

0.4.1

• Added updateDataAsync to ResultNotifier, to update the data of a ResultNotifier asynchronously without having to handle potential exceptions (i.e. the returned Future can be safely ignored, or awaited without try/catch).

0.4.0

• Removed ResultNotifierProvider.
• Updated ResourceProvider to use WatcherContext instead of BuildContext (in builder and build), to make watching easier.

0.3.0+1

• Just documentation updates.

0.3.0

• Added "watch" functionality, i.e. the possibility to observe a ResultNotifier (or any Listenable) in a Widget without using a ResultBuilder or ValueListenableBuilder (a bit similar to how flutter_hooks works).
• Added extension methods on Iterable<Result> and Iterable<ResultNotifier> for combining multiple Results into a single Result, or just combining the data (similar to CombineLatestNotifier).
• Added convenience Records extensions for Result and ResultNotifier, enabling typed use of combine and combineData methods (see ResultTuple, ResultListenableTuple, etc).
• Added extension methods on Iterable<Result> and Iterable<ResultNotifier> for getting combined statuses ( e.g. isLoading, isAllLoading etc).
• Introduced the abstract type ResultListenable and moved some functionality from ResultNotifier there.
• Added support for transforming a regular ValueNotifier/ValueListenable to a ResultListenable using ValueListenable.toResultListenable().
• Deprecated ResultNotifierProvider - use ResourceProvider (along with watch or ResultBuilder) instead.
• Made some arguments required in ResourceProvider default constructor and added a second constructor (ResourceProvider.custom) for subclasses.
• Made dispose method in ResourceProvider optional, and added default implementation that calls dispose() on the resource.

0.2.1

• Fixed issue with Result.toData (and thus ResultNotifier.toData) not using the data parameter correctly.

0.2.0

• Updated setResultAsync to always return a Result, even if an error occurs.
• Method cancel in ResultNotifier no longer accepts a Result as a parameter.
• Updated API of CombineLatestNotifier (changed constructor and added static factory methods) and removed @expermimental annotation.
• Renamed ChainedNotifier to EffectNotifier and removed @expermimental annotation.
• Added effect methods to ResultNotifier.

0.1.1

• Added lint package and fixed analysis warnings.

0.1.0

• Initial release, with basic ResultNotifier functionality.
