Pitfalls of state_beacon #
When using Beacon.derivedFuture, only beacons accessed before the async gap(await) will be tracked as dependencies.
final counter = Beacon.writable(0);
final doubledCounter = Beacon.derived(() => counter.value * 2);

final derivedFutureCounter = Beacon.derivedFuture(() async {
// This will be tracked as a dependency because it's accessed before the async gap
final count = counter.value;

await Future.delayed(Duration(seconds: count));

// This will NOT be tracked as a dependency because it's accessed after `await`
final doubled = doubledCounter.value;

return '$count x 2 = $doubled';
});

When a derivedFuture depends on multiple future/stream beacons

DONT:

final derivedFutureCounter = Beacon.derivedFuture(() async {
// in this instance lastNameStreamBeacon will not be tracked as a dependency
// because it's accessed after the async gap
final firstName = await firstNameFutureBeacon.toFuture();
final lastName = await lastNameStreamBeacon.toFuture();

return 'Fullname is $firstName $lastName';
});

DO:

final derivedFutureCounter = Beacon.derivedFuture(() async {
// acquire the futures before the async gap ie: don't use await
final firstNameFuture = firstNameFutureBeacon.toFuture();
final lastNameFuture = lastNameStreamBeacon.toFuture();

// wait for the futures to complete
final (String firstName, String lastName) = await (firstNameFuture, lastNameFuture).wait;

return 'Fullname is $firstName $lastName';
});
