Synchronize Paging Data

A Widget Whose Content Stays Synced With A ValueNotifier Of Type PagedValue.

Find the pub.dev documentation here

Background

Given a PagedValueNotifier<Key, Value> implementation and a [builder] which builds widgets from concrete values of PagedValue<Key, Value>, this class will automatically register itself as a listener of the [PagedValueNotifier] and call the [builder] with updated values when the value changes.

Basic Example

class UserNameValueNotifier extends PagedValueNotifier<int, String> {
UserNameValueNotifier() : super(const PagedValue.loading());

@override
Future<void> doInitialLoad() async {
// Imitating network delay
await Future.delayed(const Duration(seconds: 1));
value = const PagedValue(
items: ['Sahil', 'Salvatore', 'Reuben'],

/// Passing the key to load the next page
nextPageKey: nextPageKey,
);
}

@override
Future<void> loadMore(int nextPageKey) async {
// Imitating network delay
await Future.delayed(const Duration(seconds: 1));
final previousItems = value.asSuccess.items;
final newItems = previousItems + ['Deven', 'Sacha', 'Gordon'];
value = PagedValue(
items: newItems,
// Passing nextPageKey as null to indicate
// that there are no more items.
nextPageKey: null,
);
}
}

class _MyHomePageState extends State {
final pagedValueNotifier = UserNameValueNotifier();

@override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
return Scaffold(
body: Center(
child: PagedValueListenableBuilder<int, String>(
builder: (context, value, child) {
// This builder will only get called when the _counter
// is updated.
return value.when(
(userNames, nextPageKey, error) => Column(
children: [
const Text('Usernames:'),
Expanded(
child: ListView(
children: userNames.map(Text.new).toList(),
),
),
if (nextPageKey != null)
TextButton(
child: const Text('Load more'),
onPressed: () => pagedValueNotifier.loadMore(nextPageKey),
),
],
),
loading: CircularProgressIndicator.new,
error: (e) => Text('Error: $e'),
);
},
valueListenable: pagedValueNotifier,
),
),
);
}
}
