zef_helpers_lazy

A Dart package providing a versatile implementation of lazy initialization, allowing deferred creation of objects with optional expiry and custom initialization and destruction callbacks.

Features

• Lazy Initialization: Delay the creation of an object until it's actually needed.
• Automatic Expiry: Optionally set an expiry duration after which the object will be re-initialized upon next access.
• Custom Expiry Conditions: Define custom conditions to trigger object re-initialization.
• Initialization and Destruction Callbacks: Specify actions to be taken right after object creation and just before its destruction.
• Reset Capability: Manually reset the lazy instance, forcing re-initialization upon next access.

Getting Started

To use zef_helpers_lazy in your Dart project, add it as a dependency in your pubspec.yaml file:

dependencies:
  zef_helpers_lazy: <latest_version>

Replace <latest_version> with the latest version of zef_helpers_lazy.

Usage

Import zef_helpers_lazy into your Dart file:

import 'package:zef_helpers_lazy/zef_helpers_lazy.dart';

Create a lazy-initialized object:

Lazy<Config> lazyConfig = Lazy<Config>(
  factory: () => Config("Initial data loaded"),
  onCreate: (config) => print("Config created with data: ${config.data}"),
  onDestroy: (config) => print("Config with data '${config.data}' is being destroyed"),
  expiryDuration: Duration(seconds: 10),
);

Access the lazy-initialized object:

Config config = lazyConfig.value; // The Config object is created at this point if not already initialized.
