listview utils plus

📜 listview_utils_plus #




Supercharge ListView with custom adapters to add infinite scrolling.
Origin #
This is the continuation of the listview_utils
(source code). Even though @themisir
doesn't advise using it in favor of traditional state handling (RiverPod2, Provider, BLoC, etc.)
I believe it still has a legitimate use when for example you want to show 180+ objects stored
in a Floor (SQLite wrapper) or Moor DB in a list and don't want to repeat paging and other logic
half a dozen times throughout your app. But consider his advice, possibly he is right. I'm not at
the point with my project currently to realize his point.
I forked this plugin out of necessity and I have only a very limited time for maintenance, so PRs
are highly welcome if any change is desired.
Example #
CustomListView(
loadingBuilder: CustomListLoading.defaultBuilder,
itemBuilder: (context, index, item) {
return ListTile(
title: Text(item['title']),
);
},
adapter: NetworkListAdapter(
url: 'https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/posts',
limitParam: '_limit',
offsetParam: '_start',
),
);

// A callback function to build list items (required)

// If items provided by adapter the `item` argument will be matching element
return ListTile(
title: Text(item['title']),
);
},

// Callback function to build widget if exception occurs during fetching items
errorBuilder: (BuildContext context, LoadErrorDetails details, CustomListViewState state) {
return Column(
children: <Widget>[
Text(details.error.toString()),
RaisedButton(
onPressed: () => state.loadMore(),
child: Text('Retry'),
),

Adapters #
ListView Utils currently only supports network adapter. Or you could write your own adapter by implementing BaseListAdapter mixin or using ListAdapter class.
Here's simple network adapter code using jsonplaceholder data.
NetworkListAdapter(
url: 'https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/posts',
limitParam: '_limit',
offsetParam: '_start',
),

Controllers #
Scroll controller #
ListView Utils supports Flutter's built-in ScrollController,
which allows for controlling the scrolling position:
class _SomeWidgetState extends State<SomeWidget> {
ScrollController scrollController = ScrollController();

@override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
return Column(
children: [
FlatButton(
onPressed: () {
scrollController.animateTo(100);
},
child: const Text('Scroll down'),
),
Expanded(
child: CustomListView(
adapter: ...,
scrollController: scrollController,
itemBuilder: (context, index, dynamic item) {
return ListTile(
title: Text(item['title']),
);
},
),
),
],
);
}

@override
void dispose() {
scrollController.dispose();
super.dispose();
}
}

List controller #
ListView Utils also supports its own custom controller, which allows for controlling the list of items
(for example, programmatically refreshing the list):
class _SomeWidgetState extends State<SomeWidget> {
CustomListViewController listViewController = CustomListViewController();

@override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
return Column(
children: [
FlatButton(
onPressed: () {
listViewController.refresh();
},
child: const Text('Refresh'),
),
Expanded(
child: CustomListView(
adapter: ...,
loadingBuilder: (context) => const Center(
child: CircularProgressIndicator(),
),
scrollController: scrollController,
itemBuilder: (context, index, dynamic item) {
return ListTile(
title: Text(item['title']),
);
},
),
),
],
);
}

@override
void dispose() {
listViewController.dispose();
super.dispose();
}
}
