state_graph_bloc 0.1.0+2

A bloc package with concise state graph builder. Build transitions, side effects and global events in a centralised, type-safe manner.

state_graph_bloc

State Graph Builder for Dart. Allows to define states, their transitions and side effects in a result of incoming events.

Inspired by Tinder's state machine Kotlin DSL. Based on awesome BLoC package.

Usage

StateGraphBloc is just a subclass of Bloc from bloc package which overrides mapEventToState function to use graph map.

Read more about bloc package and how to use it at bloc homepage. To use it with flutter, consider also flutter_bloc.

class DummyBloc extends StateGraphBloc<DummyEvent, DummyState> {
  @override
  DummyState get initialState => StateInitialising();

  @override
  StateGraph<DummyEvent, DummyState> buildGraph() =>
      StateGraph<DummyEvent, DummyState>(
        {
          StateInitialising: {
            LoadEvent: transitionWithSideEffect(
              (state, event) => StateLoading(),
              (state, event) {
                // There could be some async loading. Use [launchFuture] or [launchStream]
                // to fire async processing and properly handle bloc closing.
                add(LoadingCompletedEvent());
              },
            ),
          },
          StateLoading: {
            LoadingCompletedEvent: transition((state, _) => StateReady(0)),
          },
          StateReady: {
            IncrementEvent: transition(
              (state, event) => StateReady((state as StateReady).counter + 1),
            ),
            // Test global event override.
            RestartEvent: transition((state, _) => StateReady(0)),
          },
        },
        {
          RestartEvent: transition((state, event) {
            return StateInitialising();
          })
        },
      );

  // Bind some variables based on [state].
  Stream<bool> isLoading() => bindState((state) {
        if (state is StateLoading) {
          return true;
        } else {
          return false;
        }
      });
}
