Taro

Taro is a library for loading data from network and saving it to storage to speed up data loading. By using TaroImage, you can also use the memory cache by CacheImage of Flutter.

This library aims to be easy to use and maintain by reducing the amount of dependent libraries and code.

Demo

The demo application is available at here.

Features

• Load image as byte arrays or as TaroImage object.
• Set custom headers for GET requests.
• Check the max age of the data.
• Reduce the size of the data by resizing the image.

Usage

Here's a basic example of how to use Taro:

Future<void> main() async {
  // load image as byte arrays
  final Uint8List bytes = await Taro.instance.loadBytes(
    'https://example.com/image',
    headers: {
      'custom-header': 'value',
    },
  );

  // load image as TaroImage
  final TaroImage imageProvider = taro.loadImageProvider(
    'https://example.com/image',
    headers: {
      'custom-header': 'value',
    },
  );
}

When using it as a widget, use TaroWidget.

class HomePage extends StatelessWidget {
  const HomePage({super.key});

  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return Scaffold(
      appBar: AppBar(
        title: const Text('Taro demo'),
      ),
      body: Center(
        child: Card(
          child: Padding(
            padding: const EdgeInsets.all(16),
            child: SizedBox(
              width: 200,
              height: 200,
              child: TaroWidget(
                url: 'https://example.com/image.jpg',
                placeholder: (context, url) => const Center(
                  child: CircularProgressIndicator.adaptive(),
                ),
                errorBuilder: (context, url, error, stackTrace) {
                  log('Image $url failed to load.');
                  log('error: $error');
                  log('stackTrace: $stackTrace');
                  return const Center(
                    child: Icon(Icons.error),
                  );
                },
              ),
            ),
          ),
        ),
      ),
    );
  }
}

Cache directory

If a native cache directory exists, such as Android or iOS, use path_provider to get the Application Cache directory. For web, use Cache API to save the cache.

Depend libraries

• clock
  • Get current time and mock time
• image
  • Resize image
• http
  • Fetch data from network
• path_provider
  • Get application cache directory
• crypto
  • en: Get persistent file name from URL and options
