ZenScopeWidget class

Widget-scoped dependency injection provider

ZenScopeWidget provides a ZenScope to its descendants via InheritedWidget. It's the foundational widget for hierarchical dependency injection in Zenify.

Architecture:

  • Automatic parent scope discovery from widget tree
  • Supports both direct scope provision and module-based creation
  • Clean lifecycle management (widget disposal = scope disposal)
  • No global state - pure widget tree-based

Usage patterns:

Pattern 1: Provide an existing scope

final myScope = ZenScope(name: 'MyScope');
myScope.put<MyService>(MyService());

ZenScopeWidget(
  scope: myScope,
  child: MyWidget(),
)

Pattern 2: Create scope from module

ZenScopeWidget(
  moduleBuilder: () => MyFeatureModule(),
  scopeName: 'FeatureScope',
  child: MyFeatureScreen(),
)

The scope is automatically disposed when this widget is removed from the tree (only if created by this widget, not if provided externally).

Constructors

ZenScopeWidget({Key? key, required Widget child, ZenScope? scope, ZenModule moduleBuilder()?, String? scopeName})
Creates a ZenScopeWidget that provides a scope to its descendants.

Properties

child → Widget
The child widget to which the scope will be provided
final
hashCode → int
The hash code for this object.
no setterinherited
key → Key?
Controls how one widget replaces another widget in the tree.
finalinherited
moduleBuilder → ZenModule Function()?
A function that creates a module to be registered in a new scope. Use this for feature modules with dependencies.
final
runtimeType → Type
A representation of the runtime type of the object.
no setterinherited
scope → ZenScope?
An existing scope to provide to descendants. Use this when you already have a scope instance.
final
scopeName → String?
Optional name for the scope when creating one via moduleBuilder. Defaults to the module name if not provided.
