Flutter Fast (Flutter App Simplified developmenT)

This is a library to simplify development of Flutter apps by providing base classes and annotation for code generation through Flutter Fast Generator.

Note:
While this library should be safe to use, it has not been properly released and lacks tests, and it's still considered work in progress.

Features

State Management / BLoC integration: Exports under flutter_fast_bloc.dart

Depends on flutter_bloc

• FastBloc: Base class for blocs. It contains management of actions, additional data and validations. It also register to streams and run "one-time" functions
• FastBlocProvider: Wrapper around BlocProvider, that adds auto dispose of bloc, a create function to create the bloc and a blocListener invoked only if FastBloc instance's isActionAvailable is true
• DisposingFastBlocBuilder: Widget that disposes the associated FastBloc when not needed anymore, through its extendable dispose() method

Local Database helpers (SQLite): Exports under flutter_fast_database.dart

Depends on sqflite (+ ffi versions) and path_provider

These classes are used in code generation by Flutter Fast Generator offering helpers to work with sqflite.

• FastDao: simple interface without any logic, used to force import of flutter_fast_database.dart
• FastDaoMixin: contains the logic to parse Dart objects from/to database field
• FastDaoConverter: converters used to convert specific Dart types into sqlite types
• FastDatabaseHelper: handles the database, daos, table update callbacks and migrations

Preferences management: Exports under flutter_fast_preferences.dart

Depends on shared_preferences

These classes are used in code generation by Flutter Fast Generator offering helpers to work with Shared Preferences, but can be used independently, too.

• FastPreferenceManager: handles logic to save and get values, delayed saves and real time callbacks on value update
• FastPreference: Objects that contains preference key, default value, stream for value updates, preference file name and custom encoding/decoding functions, if needed

Repository abstraction: Exports under flutter_fast.dart

These classes are used in code generation by Flutter Fast Generator offering helpers to work with Shared Preferences, but can be used independently, too.

• FastRepository: handle logic to subscribe to streams and call callbacks when their values get updated

Annotations for code generation: Exports under flutter_fast_annotations.dart

@Dao, @Query, @Queryable, @BlocEventState, @Pref

Widgets collection: Exports under flutter_fast_widgets.dart

• AnimatedStack, FadingStack, AnimatedUnderlineContainer
• DoubleFacedContainer, DropdownContainer, ResponsiveContainer
• ListRows, TappableMouseRegion, TextControllerOnChangeListener

Dependencies

The dependencies are used only when specific module is imported, so you don't have to bundle all of them.

Getting started

The library is not published, yet, but can be used via git, by adding it to the pubspec.yaml file:

dependencies:
    flutter_fast:
        git:
        url: https://github.com/stefanosiano/FlutterFast.git

Usage

TODO: Include short and useful examples for package users. Add longer examples to /example folder.
