# Bloc State Management
|
||||
|
||||
Bloc state management guide covering events, states, Cubit, and widget integration for complex business logic.
|
||||
|
||||
## When to Use Bloc
|
||||
|
||||
Use **Bloc/Cubit** when you need:
|
||||
- Explicit event → state transitions
|
||||
- Complex business logic with multiple events
|
||||
- Predictable, testable state flows
|
||||
- Clear separation between UI and logic
|
||||
|
||||
| Use Case | Recommended |
|
||||
|----------|-------------|
|
||||
| Simple mutable state | Riverpod |
|
||||
| Computed values | Riverpod |
|
||||
| Event-driven workflows | Bloc |
|
||||
| Forms, auth, wizards | Bloc |
|
||||
| Feature modules with complex logic | Bloc |
|
||||
|
||||
## Core Concepts
|
||||
|
||||
| Concept | Description |
|
||||
|---------|-------------|
|
||||
| Event | User or system input that triggers state change |
|
||||
| State | Immutable representation of UI state |
|
||||
| Bloc | Maps events to new states |
|
||||
| Cubit | Simplified Bloc without events |
|
||||
|
||||
## Cubit (Recommended for Simpler Logic)
|
||||
|
||||
```dart
|
||||
import 'package:flutter_bloc/flutter_bloc.dart';
|
||||
|
||||
class CounterCubit extends Cubit<int> {
|
||||
CounterCubit() : super(0);
|
||||
|
||||
void increment() => emit(state + 1);
|
||||
void decrement() => emit(state - 1);
|
||||
void reset() => emit(0);
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Full Bloc Setup
|
||||
|
||||
### Event Definition
|
||||
|
||||
```dart
|
||||
sealed class CounterEvent {}
|
||||
|
||||
final class CounterIncremented extends CounterEvent {}
|
||||
final class CounterDecremented extends CounterEvent {}
|
||||
final class CounterReset extends CounterEvent {}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### State Definition
|
||||
|
||||
```dart
|
||||
class CounterState {
|
||||
final int value;
|
||||
final bool isLoading;
|
||||
|
||||
const CounterState({
|
||||
required this.value,
|
||||
this.isLoading = false,
|
||||
});
|
||||
|
||||
CounterState copyWith({int? value, bool? isLoading}) {
|
||||
return CounterState(
|
||||
value: value ?? this.value,
|
||||
isLoading: isLoading ?? this.isLoading,
|
||||
);
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Bloc Implementation
|
||||
|
||||
```dart
|
||||
class CounterBloc extends Bloc<CounterEvent, CounterState> {
|
||||
CounterBloc() : super(const CounterState(value: 0)) {
|
||||
on<CounterIncremented>(_onIncremented);
|
||||
on<CounterDecremented>(_onDecremented);
|
||||
on<CounterReset>(_onReset);
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
void _onIncremented(CounterIncremented event, Emitter<CounterState> emit) {
|
||||
emit(state.copyWith(value: state.value + 1));
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
void _onDecremented(CounterDecremented event, Emitter<CounterState> emit) {
|
||||
emit(state.copyWith(value: state.value - 1));
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
void _onReset(CounterReset event, Emitter<CounterState> emit) {
|
||||
emit(const CounterState(value: 0));
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Providing Bloc to Widget Tree
|
||||
|
||||
```dart
|
||||
// Single bloc
|
||||
BlocProvider(
|
||||
create: (_) => CounterBloc(),
|
||||
child: const CounterScreen(),
|
||||
);
|
||||
|
||||
// Multiple blocs
|
||||
MultiBlocProvider(
|
||||
providers: [
|
||||
BlocProvider(create: (_) => AuthBloc()),
|
||||
BlocProvider(create: (_) => ProfileBloc()),
|
||||
BlocProvider(create: (_) => SettingsBloc()),
|
||||
],
|
||||
child: const AppRoot(),
|
||||
);
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Using Bloc in Widgets
|
||||
|
||||
### BlocBuilder (UI Rebuilds)
|
||||
|
||||
```dart
|
||||
class CounterScreen extends StatelessWidget {
|
||||
const CounterScreen({super.key});
|
||||
|
||||
@override
|
||||
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
|
||||
return BlocBuilder<CounterBloc, CounterState>(
|
||||
buildWhen: (prev, curr) => prev.value != curr.value,
|
||||
builder: (context, state) {
|
||||
return Text(
|
||||
state.value.toString(),
|
||||
style: Theme.of(context).textTheme.displayLarge,
|
||||
);
|
||||
},
|
||||
);
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### BlocListener (Side Effects)
|
||||
|
||||
```dart
|
||||
BlocListener<AuthBloc, AuthState>(
|
||||
listenWhen: (prev, curr) => prev.status != curr.status,
|
||||
listener: (context, state) {
|
||||
if (state.status == AuthStatus.failure) {
|
||||
ScaffoldMessenger.of(context).showSnackBar(
|
||||
SnackBar(content: Text(state.errorMessage ?? 'Error')),
|
||||
);
|
||||
}
|
||||
if (state.status == AuthStatus.authenticated) {
|
||||
context.go('/home');
|
||||
}
|
||||
},
|
||||
child: const LoginForm(),
|
||||
);
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### BlocConsumer (Builder + Listener)
|
||||
|
||||
```dart
|
||||
BlocConsumer<FormBloc, FormState>(
|
||||
listenWhen: (prev, curr) => prev.status != curr.status,
|
||||
listener: (context, state) {
|
||||
if (state.status == FormStatus.success) {
|
||||
context.pop();
|
||||
}
|
||||
},
|
||||
buildWhen: (prev, curr) => prev.isValid != curr.isValid,
|
||||
builder: (context, state) {
|
||||
return ElevatedButton(
|
||||
onPressed: state.isValid
|
||||
? () => context.read<FormBloc>().add(FormSubmitted())
|
||||
: null,
|
||||
child: const Text('Submit'),
|
||||
);
|
||||
},
|
||||
);
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### BlocSelector (Granular Rebuilds)
|
||||
|
||||
```dart
|
||||
BlocSelector<UserBloc, UserState, String>(
|
||||
selector: (state) => state.user.name,
|
||||
builder: (context, name) {
|
||||
return Text('Hello, $name');
|
||||
},
|
||||
);
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Async Bloc Pattern
|
||||
|
||||
```dart
|
||||
on<UserRequested>((event, emit) async {
|
||||
emit(state.copyWith(status: UserStatus.loading));
|
||||
|
||||
try {
|
||||
final user = await repository.fetchUser(event.userId);
|
||||
emit(state.copyWith(status: UserStatus.success, user: user));
|
||||
} catch (e) {
|
||||
emit(state.copyWith(status: UserStatus.failure, error: e.toString()));
|
||||
}
|
||||
});
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Bloc + GoRouter Auth Guard
|
||||
|
||||
```dart
|
||||
redirect: (context, state) {
|
||||
final authState = context.read<AuthBloc>().state;
|
||||
final isAuthRoute = state.matchedLocation.startsWith('/auth');
|
||||
|
||||
if (authState.status != AuthStatus.authenticated && !isAuthRoute) {
|
||||
return '/auth/login';
|
||||
}
|
||||
if (authState.status == AuthStatus.authenticated && isAuthRoute) {
|
||||
return '/';
|
||||
}
|
||||
return null;
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Testing Bloc
|
||||
|
||||
```dart
|
||||
import 'package:bloc_test/bloc_test.dart';
|
||||
|
||||
blocTest<CounterBloc, CounterState>(
|
||||
'emits incremented value when CounterIncremented added',
|
||||
build: () => CounterBloc(),
|
||||
act: (bloc) => bloc.add(CounterIncremented()),
|
||||
expect: () => [const CounterState(value: 1)],
|
||||
);
|
||||
|
||||
blocTest<CounterBloc, CounterState>(
|
||||
'emits multiple states',
|
||||
build: () => CounterBloc(),
|
||||
act: (bloc) {
|
||||
bloc.add(CounterIncremented());
|
||||
bloc.add(CounterIncremented());
|
||||
bloc.add(CounterDecremented());
|
||||
},
|
||||
expect: () => [
|
||||
const CounterState(value: 1),
|
||||
const CounterState(value: 2),
|
||||
const CounterState(value: 1),
|
||||
],
|
||||
);
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Best Practices
|
||||
|
||||
| Do | Don't |
|
||||
|----|-------|
|
||||
| Keep states immutable | Mutate state directly |
|
||||
| Use small, focused blocs | Create "god blocs" with everything |
|
||||
| One feature = one bloc | Share blocs across unrelated features |
|
||||
| Use Cubit for simple cases | Overcomplicate with Bloc unnecessarily |
|
||||
| Test all state transitions | Skip bloc testing |
|
||||
| Use `buildWhen`/`listenWhen` | Rebuild on every state change |
|
||||
|
||||
## Widget Reference
|
||||
|
||||
| Widget | Purpose |
|
||||
|--------|---------|
|
||||
| `BlocBuilder` | UI rebuilds based on state |
|
||||
| `BlocListener` | Side effects (navigation, snackbar) |
|
||||
| `BlocConsumer` | Both builder and listener |
|
||||
| `BlocSelector` | Granular state selection |
|
||||
| `BlocProvider` | Dependency injection |
|
||||
| `MultiBlocProvider` | Multiple bloc injection |
|
||||
| `RepositoryProvider` | Repository injection |
