RxFlutterPlugin

A flutter plugin to bridge RxJava & RxSwift to Dart streams.

Getting Started

Add this plugin to your flutter application through your pubspec.yaml

dependencies:
    rx_flutter_plugin: ^x.y.z

Opening a platform channel

Flutter

final channel = new RxFlutterMethodChannel("custom_channel_name");

Android (Kotlin)

val channel = RxFlutterMethodChannel("custom_channel_name", binaryMesseger)
//You can pass in anything that extends FlutterActivity for the binaryMessenger argument. Will be removed in future releases.

Connection your observables

*Note: All arguments and return values from observables must follow the supported data types for platform channels.

Observables

Android

channel.addObservable<T>(
                "method_A",
                { argumentsFromFlutter: T ->
                    //Return an ObservableSource<*>
                    return@addObservable Observable.just(1)
                }
        )

Flutter

channel.getObservable(
    "method_A",
    {
        "argument_key_1": "argument_value_1"
    }
)

Singles

Android

channel.addSingle<T>(
                "method_b",
                { argumentsFromFlutter: T ->
                    //Return a SingleSource<*>
                    return@addSingle Single.just(1)
                }
        )

Flutter

channel.getSingle(
    "method_B",
    {
        "argument_key_1": "argument_value_1"
    }
)

Completables

Android

channel.addCompletable<T>(
                "method_C",
                { argumentsFromFlutter: T ->
                    //Return a CompletableSource
                    return@addCompletable Completable.complete()
                }
        )

Flutter

channel.getCompletable(
    "method_C",
    {
        "argument_key_1": "argument_value_1"
    }
)

Error Propagation

How to handle exceptions / errors thrown from the native platforms. When adding the observable source, the errorHandler parameter allows you to pass in a block that accepts a Throwable/Error argument and convert that into a payload (needs to conform to supported data types) that will be a member variable of the ObservableThrownException thrown in Dart.

Android

channel.addCompletable<T>(
                "method_C",
                { argumentsFromFlutter: T ->
                    //Return a CompletableSource
                    return@addCompletable Completable.complete()
                }, 
                { t: Throwable ->
                    return@addObservable hashMapOf(
                            "errorMessage" to t.message
                    )
                }
        )
