State management in Flutter

This is a presentation of state management in Flutter and an insight of what Flutter is

1. State Management In Flutter Jacqueline Kendi @kendyjaky FLUTTER INREACH CAMPUS EDITION BY :FLUTTER DEVELOPERS KENYA
2. What is Flutter? - Google’s mobile SDK - Creates native Android and iOS apps - Builds cross platform apps in record time - Uses Dart language
3. Why is Flutter cool? - Fast cross platform development - Perform native experience - Lots of built in widgets - Application performance using Dart (AOT and JIT) - Hot reload - Device compatibility. Its native widgets allow applications to remain compatible from iOS 8 and Android Jelly Bean, API 16
4. What you need to get started - IDE ❖ Android Studio ❖ Visual studio code ❖ IntelliJ ❖ Command line - Dart and Flutter plugins - Flutter SDK (flutter.dev)
5. Widgets - Basic building blocks of a Flutter app’s UI, hence everything is a widget - Immutable - All the fields are final unless you want to make changes.
6. Stateless and stateful widgets Stateless Widget - It is immutable meaning that all values are final and cannot be changed Stateful Widget - Require a mutable state - Maintain state that may change during the app’s lifecycle
7. State management State - Data that changes over a life cycle of an app. Why should it be managed? - To avoid soul crushing bugs that only happen at runtime. - To optimize performance.
8. Widget packaged in Flutter used to manage sate. - Stateful Widget- has setState method that you can call to repaint the widget - Stateful builder - Easier way to handle local state as it doesn’t require two classes and a decent amount of boilerplate - Stream builder - used to manage global state for its flexibility, provides separation of concerns and it feels intuitive. - Inherited Widget - provide context to every widget below it in
9. Block Pattern - Similar to inherited widget but more intuitive and scalable for state management. Scoped Model - Set of utilities that allow you to pass data from parent widget down to its children. -the model class -ScopedModel class -ScopedModel descendant
10. ReduX - De facto state management in ReactJS. Its widgets include: - StoreProvider - StoreBuilder - StoreConnector
11. Provider - It’s a mixture between DI and Sate management. - It guarantees: - Maintainability - Testability/ compatibility - Robustness
12. Firebase - Sate with backend - Provides a very powerful stream based state management library by persisting your data to the cloud. - Solves most complex requirements like - User auth - Database persistence - Remote config
