Imperative Flutter

Manage the state of your widgets using imperative programming concepts.

Setup

Install imperative_flutter package in pubspec.yaml

dependencies:
  imperative_flutter: ^1.0.0

Then it's just import in your code

import 'package:imperative_flutter/imperative_flutter.dart';

Usage

ImperativeProvider is responsible for storing state and handling the references for ImperativeBuilder, it can be global scope when MaterialApp is his child or local scope when Scaffold is your child.

class MyApp extends StatelessWidget {
  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return ImperativeProvider(
      child: MaterialApp(
        title: 'Imperative Flutter Demo',
        home: MyHomePage(),
      ),
    );
  }
}

ImperativeBuilder is responsible for reconstructing it when that state is changed, note that the id must be unique for each ImperativeProvider Scope.

// Inside StatelessWidget

ImperativeBuilder<int>(
    id: 'count',
    initialData: 0,
    /* the builder method will be called every time the state changes,
    updating only the widget within the scope */
    builder: (context, state) {
        return Container(
            height: 48,
            width: 48,
            color: Colors.pink,
            child: Center(
                child: Text(
                    '$state',
                    style: TextStyle(color: Colors.white),
                  ),
            ),
        );
    },
),

// ...

class Whatever extends StatelessWidget {
  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    // Get instance of ImperativeProvider
    final provider = ImperativeProvider.of(context);

    return ElevatedButton.icon(
            onPressed: () {
                // Set state of ImperativeBuilder where id equal 'count' and rebuild
                provider.updateState<int>('count', (current) => current + 1);
            },
            icon: Icon(Icons.add),
            label: Text('plus'),
    ),
  }
