state_store 0.7.0

A simple state management package for Flutter

state_store

A lightweight state management package for Flutter. No boilerplate, no code generation — just a simple static API with optional persistence via SharedPreferences.

Features

• Simple static API — no providers, no context, no InheritedWidgets
• Persistence — opt-in per-value persistence to SharedPreferences with custom serialization support
• Reactive builders — StateStoreBuilder and StateStoreMultiBuilder widgets that rebuild on state changes
• Listeners — subscribe to state changes and fire-and-forget trigger events
• Data migration — migrate old persisted keys when your state schema changes
• Remote debugging — inspect live app state with the companion state_store_debugger desktop app

Getting started

Add state_store to your pubspec.yaml:

dependencies:
  state_store: ^0.6.0

Usage

1. Set up state variables

StateStore.setUp<int>('counter', 0, persist: true);  // persisted
StateStore.setUp<String>('username', '');              // in-memory only

2. Load persisted values

await StateStore.import();

3. Read and update state

// Read
int count = StateStore.get('counter');

// Update — notifies all listeners and builders
StateStore.dispatch('counter', count + 1);

// Toggle a boolean
StateStore.dispatchToggle('darkMode');

// Append to a list
StateStore.dispatchAddition('items', newItem);

4. React to state in the UI

Single value:

StateStoreBuilder<int>(
  id: 'counter',
  builder: (context, value) => Text('$value'),
)

Multiple values:

StateStoreMultiBuilder(
  ids: const ['counter', 'username'],
  builder: (context, states) {
    final counter = states['counter'] as int;
    final name = states['username'] as String;
    return Text('$name pressed $counter times');
  },
)

5. Listen to changes

StateStore.addListener('counter', (id, newValue, ctx) {
  print('Counter changed to $newValue');
});

6. Custom types with persistence

StateStore.setUp<MyClass>(
  'myObject',
  MyClass.defaultValue(),
  persist: true,
  importer: (json) => MyClass.fromJson(jsonDecode(json)),
  exporter: (value) => jsonEncode(value.toJson()),
);

7. Remote debugging

Connect to the companion state_store_debugger app to inspect state in real time:

if (kDebugMode) {
  await StateStore.connectRemoteDebugging();
}

See the state_store_debugger directory for the remote debugger app.

Example

See the example directory for a complete working app.
