states_rebuilder 1.12.1

a simple yet powerful state management technique for Flutter

1.12.1 (2020-02-.3)

• Add Continuous Integration and code coverage support.
• Improve test coverage.

1.12.0 (2020-01-30)

• Add ReactiveModel<T>.create(T value) to create a ReactiveModel from a primitive value. The created ReactiveModel has the full power the other reactive models created using Injector have. ex: This is a simple counter app:

class App extends StatelessWidget {
  //Create a reactiveModel<int> with initial value and assign it to counterRM  filed.
  final counterRM = ReactiveModel.create(0);
  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return MaterialApp(
      home: Scaffold(
        body: Center(
          // Subscribe StateBuilder widget ot counterRM
          child: StateBuilder(
            models: [counterRM],
            builder: (context, _) {
              return Text('${counterRM.value}');
            },
          ),
        ),
        floatingActionButton: FloatingActionButton(
          child: Icon(Icons.add),
          //set the value of the counterRM and notify observers.
          onPressed: () => counterRM.setValue(() => counterRM.value + 1),
        ),
      ),
    );
  }
}

• Add WhenRebuilder widget. It is a shortcut of using SateBuilder to subscribe to an observable model and use ReactiveModel.whenConnectionState method to exhaustively switch over all the possible statuses of connectionState.

instead of:

Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return StateBuilder<PlugIn1>(
      models: [Injector.getAsReactive<PlugIn1>()],
      builder: (_, plugin1RM) {
        return plugin1RM.whenConnectionState(
          onIdle: () => Text('onIDle'),
          onWaiting: () => CircularProgressIndicator(),
          onError: (error) => Text('plugin one has an error $error'),
          onData: (plugin1) => Text('plugin one is ready'),
        );
      },
    );
}

You use :

@override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
  return WhenRebuilder<PlugIn1>(
    models: [Injector.getAsReactive<PlugIn1>()],
    onIdle: () => Text('onIdle'),
    onWaiting: () => CircularProgressIndicator(),
    onError: (error) => Text('plugin one has an error $error'),
    onData: (plugin1) => Text('plugin one is ready'),
  );
}

As a good side effect of using WhenRebuilder, you can subscribe to many observable models and a combination status is exposed so that onData will not be invoked only after all observable models have data.

ex:

  final plugin1RM = Injector.getAsReactive<PlugIn1>();
  final plugin2RM = Injector.getAsReactive<PlugIn2>();
  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return WhenRebuilder<PlugIn1>(
      models: [plugin1RM, plugin2RM],
      onIdle: () => Text('onIDle'),
      //onWaiting is called if any models is in the waiting state
      onWaiting: () => CircularProgressIndicator(),
      // onError will be called with the thrown error, if any of the observed models throws.
      onError: (error) => Text('plugin1 or plugin2  has an error $error'),
      //onData is called when all observable models have data
      onData: (plugin1) => Text('plugin1 and plugin2  are both ready'),
    );
  }

• Add OnSetStateListener widget to handle side effects. It subscribes to a list of observable models and listen to them and execute the corresponding onData or onError side effects.

• Add value getter and ReactiveModel.setValue method. They are the counterpart of the state getter and ReactiveModel.setState method respectively. They are more convenient to use with primitive values and immutable objects.

• Add ReactiveModel.asNew([dynamic seed]) to create new reactive instance.

• Replace setState.joinSingletonWith in with the bool parameter setState.joinSingleton.

• A huge Refactor of the code. I have written the code from the ground using Test Driven Design principles. Now the cod is cleaner, shorter, and more effective.

1.11.2 (2020-01-10)

• Add the static method StatesRebuilderDebug.printInjectedModel() to debugPrint all registered model in the service locator.
• Add the static method StatesRebuilderDebug.printObservers(observable) to )debugPrint all subscribed observers to the provided observable.
• Refactor watch logic to work with asynchronous tasks as well as with List, Map, Set types.

1.11.1 (2020-01-05)

• Add onData(BuildContext, T) parameter to setState method. It is a shortcut to:

  onSetState(context){
    if(reactiveModel.hasData){
      .....
    }
  }
  

1.11.0 (2020-01-05)

• Inject.get for injected streams and future will no longer throw, it will return the the current value.
• If whenConnectionState is defined, catchError is set true automatically.
• Add watch parameter to StateBuilder widget and. watch allows to link the rebuild process to the variation of a set of variables.(Experimental feature).
• Remove deprecated getAsModel and hasState.
• Update docs and add Dependency Injection section in the readme file.

1.10.0 (2019-12-30)

• Add whenConnectionState method to the ReactiveModel. IT exhaustively switch over all the possible statuses of connectionState. Used mostly to return a Widget. (Pul request of ResoCoder).

1.9.0 (2019-12-28)

• Add assertion error helpful messages.
• Add isIdle getter to the ReactiveModel as a shortcut to : connectionState == ConnectionState.none
• Add isWaiting getter to the ReactiveModel as a shortcut to : connectionState == ConnectionState.waiting
• Add onError(BuildContext, dynamic) parameter to setState method.
• Add joinSingletonToNewData parameter to setState method.
• Refactor codes to remove bugs and to use Flutter 1.12 version.

1.8.0 (2019-12-06)

1- Add the following features: (See readme fille).

• onSetState and onRebuildState parameters to the StateBuilder.
• The BuildContext is the default tag of StateBuilder.
• JoinSingleton, inheritedInject, initialCustomStateStatus parameters to Inject
• reinject and getAsReactive to Injector. 2- Remove the following parameters:(Breaking changes)
• tagID parameter from StateBuilder. before

StateBuilder(
  builder: (BuildContext context, String tagID){
    // code
  }
)

after

StateBuilder<T>(
  models: [firstModel, secondModel],
  builder: (BuildContext context, ReactiveModel<T> model){
    /// No more need for the `tagID` because the `context` is used as `tagID`.
    /// the model is the first instance (firstModel) in the list of the [models] parameter.
    /// If the parameter [models] is not provided then the model will be a new reactive instance
    /// See readme file for more information
  }
)

• The model parameter of the Injector.builder method. before

Injector(
  builder: (BuildContext context, T model){
    // code
  }
)

after

Injector(
  builder: (BuildContext context){
    // no need for model parameter. It has less boilerplate.
  }
)

• Injector.getAsModel, StateBuilder.viewModel and StatesRebuilder.hasState are deprecated, and replaced by Injector.getAsReactive, StateBuilder.models and StatesRebuilder.hasObservers respectively.

1.7.0 (2019-11-14)

1- Add onSetState parameter to the setState method to define a callback to be executed after state mutation. The callBack takes the context so you can push/pop routes, show dialogs or snackBar. (see example folder).

2- Add catchError parameter to the setState method to define whether to catch error while mutining the state or not.(see example folder). If an error is thrown, hasError getter is true and the error can be obtained via the error getter (see point 5 below).

3- Add the getter connectionState to the ModelStatesRebuilder<T>to get the asynchronous status of the state. it can be ConnectionState.none before executing the Future, ConnectionState.waiting while waiting for the Future and ConnectionState.done after resolving the Future.

4- Add the field stateStatus to the ModelStatesRebuilder<T> class. It allows defining a custom status of the state other than those defined by the connectionState getter.

5- add the getter hasError, hasData and error to the ModelStatesRebuilder<T> class.

6- Change the name blocs to models.

7- Refactor the code and fix bugs.

8- Update docs and examples.

1.6.1 (2019-10-22)

• Add watch parameter to setState method and Inject.stream constructor. watch allows to link the rebuild process to the variation of a set of variables.
• Update docs

1.6.0+1 (2019-10-18)

• Add Injector.getAsModel method. When called with the context parameter, the calling widget is automatically registered as a listener.
• Add setState(Function(state)) to mutate the state and update the dependent the views from the UI.
• Model class have not to extend StatesRebuilder to get reactivity.
• Add the named constructorInject.future which take a future and update dependents when future completes.
• Add the named constructorInject.stream which take a steam and update dependents when stream emits a value.
• Injector.get or Injector.getAsModel now throws if no registered model is found. This can be silent by setting the parameter silent to true
• Injected model ara lazily instantiated. To do otherwise set the parameter isLazy of the Inject widget to false.

1.5.1 (2019-09-14)

• add afterInitialBuild and afterRebuild parameters to the StateBuilder, StateWithMixinBuilder and Injector widgets. afterInitialBuildandafterRebuild` are callBack to be executed after the widget is mounted and after each rebuild.

1.5.0+1 (2019-09-12)

• Use ObservableService and hasState instead of Observable and hasObserver, because the latters are widely used and can lead to conflict

1.5.0 (2019-09-06)

• Add hasStates getter to check if the StatesRebuilder object has listener.
• Add inject parameter to the Injector widget as an alternative to the models parameter. With inject you can register models using interface Type.
• Add observable interface. Any service class can implement it to notify any ViewModel to rebuild its corresponding view.
• Refactor the library to make it design patterns wise and hence make it testable.
• Test the library

1.3.2 (2019-06-24)

• Add appLifeCycle argument to Injector to track the life cycle of the app.
• Refactor the code.

1.2.0 (2019-05-23)

• Remove stateID and replace it by tag parameter. tag is optional and many widgets can have the same tag.
• rebuildStates() when called without parameters, it rebuilds all widgets that are wrapped with StateBuilder and StateWithMixinBuilder.
• Each StateBuilder has an automatically generated cached address. It is stored in the second parameter of the builder, initState, dispose, and other closures. You can call it inside the closures to rebuild that particular widget.
• add StateWithMixinBuilder widget to account for some of the most used mixins.
• Optimize the code and improve performance

1.1.0 (2019-05-13)
