Watchable #
A lightweight, intuitive state management solution for Flutter applications. Watchable offers a simple API for managing state and efficiently rebuilding UI components when state changes.
Features #

Simple and intuitive API for state management
Efficient UI updates with fine-grained control
Support for both mutable state and event streams
Easy combination of multiple state objects
Minimal boilerplate code
Scalable from simple to complex state management scenarios

Installation #
Add watchable to your pubspec.yaml:
dependencies:
watchable: any

Then run flutter pub get to install the package.
Usage #
Basic State Management #
Use StateWatchable for managing mutable state:
final counterWatchable = MutableStateWatchable<int>(0);

WatchableBuilder<int>(
watchable: counterWatchable,
builder: (context, value, child) {
return Text('Counter: $value');
},
)

// Update the state
counterWatchable.emit(counterWatchable.value + 1);

Form Handling #
Manage form state easily:
final nameWatchable = MutableStateWatchable<String>('');
final emailWatchable = MutableStateWatchable<String>('');

TextField(
onChanged: (value) => nameWatchable.emit(value),
),
TextField(
onChanged: (value) => emailWatchable.emit(value),
),

WatchableBuilder.from2<String, String, bool>(
watchable1: nameWatchable,
watchable2: emailWatchable,
combiner: (name, email) => name.isNotEmpty && email.isNotEmpty,
builder: (context, isValid, child) {
return ElevatedButton(
onPressed: isValid ? () => submitForm() : null,
child: Text('Submit'),
);
},
)

Handling Events #
Use Watchable for event streams:
final notificationWatchable = MutableWatchable<String>();

WatchableConsumer<String>(
watchable: notificationWatchable,
onEvent: (message) {
ScaffoldMessenger.of(context).showSnackBar(
SnackBar(content: Text(message)),
);
},
child: YourWidget(),
)

// Trigger an event
notificationWatchable.emit('New notification!');

Combining Multiple States #
Easily combine multiple state objects:
final userWatchable = MutableStateWatchable<User?>(null);
final postsWatchable = MutableStateWatchable<List<Post>>([]);

WatchableBuilder.from2<User?, List<Post>, Widget>(
watchable1: userWatchable,
watchable2: postsWatchable,
combiner: (user, posts) {
if (user == null) return LoginScreen();
return PostList(user: user, posts: posts);
},
builder: (context, widget, child) => widget,
)

Optimizing Rebuilds #
Use shouldRebuild to control when the UI updates:
WatchableBuilder<List<Item>>(
watchable: itemsWatchable,
shouldRebuild: (previous, current) => previous.length != current.length,
builder: (context, items, child) {
return ListView.builder(
itemCount: items.length,
itemBuilder: (context, index) => ItemTile(item: items[index]),
);
},
)

Managing Complex State & Encapsulated State Access #
For more complex state & for controlled access to its state, you can create a custom state class:
class AppState {
final _user = MutableStateWatchable(null);
StateWatchable<User?> get user => _user;
final _todos = MutableStateWatchable([]);
StateWatchable<List<Todo>> get todos => _todos;
final _notifications = MutableWatchable();
Watchable<String> get notifications => _notifications;

void login(User user) => _user.emit(user);
void logout() => _user.emit(null);
void addTodo(Todo todo) => _todos.emit([...todos.value, todo]);
void notify(String message) => _notifications.emit(message);
}

final appState = AppState();

// Usage
WatchableBuilder<User?>(
watchable: appState.user,
builder: (context, user, child) {
return user != null ? HomeScreen() : LoginScreen();
},
)
