Flutter Event Limiter 🛡️ #

Prevent Double-Clicks, Race Conditions & Memory Leaks | Throttle & Debounce Made Simple #

The only Flutter library with Universal Builder Pattern + Auto Loading State + Zero Boilerplate

Stop Spam Clicks. Fix Race Conditions. Prevent Memory Leaks.

A production-ready library to handle Throttling (anti-spam) and Debouncing (search APIs) with built-in safety checks.

🚀 Why use this? #

Standard Flutter InkWell or Timer usually leads to these bugs:

• ❌ Double Click Crash: User taps "Submit" twice → API calls twice → Database error.
• ❌ Race Conditions: User types "a", then "ab". API "a" returns after "ab" → UI shows wrong result.
• ❌ Memory Leaks: setState() called after dispose() when the API returns late.

✅ This library fixes ALL of them automatically.

⚡ Why Different from Other Libraries? #

Most libraries fall into three traps:

1️⃣ The "Basic Utility" Trap #

Examples: flutter_throttle_debounce, easy_debounce

• ❌ Manual lifecycle management → Memory leaks if you forget dispose()
• ❌ No UI awareness → Crashes with setState() called after dispose()
• ❌ No widget wrappers → Must write boilerplate in every widget

2️⃣ The "Hard-Coded Widget" Trap #

Examples: flutter_smart_debouncer

• ❌ Forces you to use their SmartDebouncerTextField → Can't use CupertinoTextField or custom widgets
• ❌ No universal builders → Limited to pre-built widgets only
• ❌ What if you need a Slider, Switch, or custom widget? You're stuck.

3️⃣ The "Over-Engineering" Trap #

Examples: rxdart, easy_debounce_throttle

• ❌ Stream/BehaviorSubject complexity → Steep learning curve
• ❌ Overkill for simple tasks → 15+ lines for basic debouncing
• ❌ Must understand reactive programming → Not beginner-friendly

✨ flutter_event_limiter Solves All Three #

💎 1. Universal Builders (Not Hard-Coded) #

Don't change your widgets. Just wrap them.

// ❌ Other libraries: Locked to their widgets
SmartDebouncerTextField(...) // Must use their TextField
SmartDebouncerButton(...) // Must use their Button

// ✅ flutter_event_limiter: Use ANY widget!
ThrottledBuilder(
  builder: (context, throttle) {
    return CupertinoButton( // Or Material, Custom - Anything!
      onPressed: throttle(() => submit()),
      child: Text("Submit"),
    );
  },
)

Works with: Material, Cupertino, CustomPaint, Slider, Switch, FloatingActionButton, or your custom widgets.

🧠 2. Smart State Management (Built-in) #

The ONLY library with automatic isLoading state.

// ❌ Other libraries: Manual loading state (10+ lines)
bool _loading = false;

onPressed: () async {
  setState(() => _loading = true);
  try {
    await submitForm();
    setState(() => _loading = false);
  } catch (e) {
    setState(() => _loading = false);
  }
}

// ✅ flutter_event_limiter: Auto loading state (3 lines)
AsyncThrottledCallbackBuilder(
  onPressed: () async => await submitForm(),
  builder: (context, callback, isLoading) { // ✅ isLoading provided!
    return ElevatedButton(
      onPressed: isLoading ? null : callback,
      child: isLoading ? CircularProgressIndicator() : Text("Submit"),
    );
  },
)

🛡️ 3. Advanced Safety (Production-Ready) #

We auto-check mounted, auto-dispose, and prevent race conditions.

🥊 Comprehensive Comparison with All Alternatives #

Legend: 🥇 Best in class | ✅ Full support | ⚠️ Partial/Manual | ❌ Not supported

Verdict: flutter_event_limiter wins in 9 out of 10 categories ✨

📊 Real-World Code Comparison #

Task: Implement search API with debouncing, loading state, and error handling

// ❌ flutter_throttle_debounce (15+ lines, manual lifecycle)
class MyWidget extends StatefulWidget {
  @override
  _MyWidgetState createState() => _MyWidgetState();
}

class _MyWidgetState extends State<MyWidget> {
  final _debouncer = Debouncer(delay: Duration(milliseconds: 300));
  bool _loading = false;

  @override
  void dispose() {
    _debouncer.dispose(); // Must remember!
    super.dispose();
  }

  Widget build(context) {
    return TextField(
      onChanged: (text) => _debouncer.call(() async {
        if (!mounted) return; // Must check manually!
        setState(() => _loading = true);
        try {
          await searchAPI(text);
          setState(() => _loading = false);
        } catch (e) {
          setState(() => _loading = false);
        }
      }),
    );
  }
}

// ❌ easy_debounce_throttle (20+ lines, Stream complexity)
class MyWidget extends StatefulWidget {
  @override
  _MyWidgetState createState() => _MyWidgetState();
}

class _MyWidgetState extends State<MyWidget> {
  final _debounce = EasyDebounce(delay: Duration(milliseconds: 300));
  final _controller = TextEditingController();
  bool _loading = false;

  @override
  void initState() {
    super.initState();
    _debounce.listen((value) async {
      if (!mounted) return; // Must check manually!
      setState(() => _loading = true);
      try {
        await searchAPI(value);
        setState(() => _loading = false);
      } catch (e) {
        setState(() => _loading = false);
      }
    });

    _controller.addListener(() {
      _debounce.add(_controller.text);
    });
  }

  @override
  void dispose() {
    _debounce.close(); // Must remember!
    _controller.dispose();
    super.dispose();
  }

  Widget build(context) {
    return TextField(controller: _controller);
  }
}

// ✅ flutter_event_limiter (3 lines, auto everything!)
AsyncDebouncedTextController(
  onChanged: (text) async => await searchAPI(text),
  onSuccess: (results) => setState(() => _results = results), // Auto mounted check!
  onLoadingChanged: (loading) => setState(() => _loading = loading), // Auto loading!
  onError: (error, stack) => showError(error), // Auto error handling!
)

Result: 80% less code with better safety ✨

📦 Installation #

Add to your pubspec.yaml:

dependencies:
  flutter_event_limiter: ^1.0.0

Then run:

flutter pub get

Import:

import 'package:flutter_event_limiter/flutter_event_limiter.dart';

🔥 Quick Start #

1. Prevent Double Clicks (Throttling) #

Wrap your button. That's it. It ignores clicks for 500ms (configurable) after the first one.

ThrottledInkWell(
  onTap: () => submitOrder(), // 👈 Safe! Only runs once per 500ms
  onDoubleTap: () => handleDoubleTap(), // ✅ Also throttled!
  onLongPress: () => showMenu(), // ✅ Also throttled!
  child: Container(
    padding: EdgeInsets.all(12),
    child: Text("Submit Order"),
  ),
)

Result: No matter how fast the user clicks, submitOrder() only runs once every 500ms.

2. Search API with Auto-Cancel (Async Debouncing) #

Perfect for search bars. It waits for the user to stop typing, and automatically cancels previous pending API calls to prevent UI flickering.

AsyncDebouncedTextController<List<User>>(
  // 1. Auto-waits 300ms after user stops typing
  // 2. Auto-cancels previous request if user keeps typing
  onChanged: (text) async => await api.searchUsers(text),

  // 3. Auto-checks 'mounted' before calling this
  onSuccess: (users) => setState(() => _users = users),

  // 4. Handles errors gracefully
  onError: (error, stack) {
    ScaffoldMessenger.of(context).showSnackBar(
      SnackBar(content: Text('Search failed: $error')),
    );
  },

  // 5. Manages loading state automatically
  onLoadingChanged: (isLoading) => setState(() => _loading = isLoading),
)

What it does:

• User types "a" → Timer starts (300ms)
• User types "ab" → Previous timer cancelled, new timer starts
• User stops typing → After 300ms, API call starts
• User types "abc" while "ab" API is running → "ab" result is ignored, only "abc" result is used

Result: Zero race conditions, zero memory leaks, smooth UX.

3. Form Submit with Loading State #

Prevents double-submission and provides loading state out of the box.

AsyncThrottledCallbackBuilder(
  onPressed: () async {
    await api.uploadFile(); // 🔒 Button stays locked until this finishes
    Navigator.pop(context); // ✅ Auto-checks mounted before navigation
  },
  onError: (error, stack) {
    ScaffoldMessenger.of(context).showSnackBar(
      SnackBar(content: Text('Upload failed: $error')),
    );
  },
  builder: (context, callback, isLoading) {
    return ElevatedButton(
      onPressed: isLoading ? null : callback, // Disable when loading
      child: isLoading
          ? SizedBox(
              width: 20,
              height: 20,
              child: CircularProgressIndicator(strokeWidth: 2),
            )
          : Text("Upload"),
    );
  },
)

Result: Button disabled during upload, automatic error handling, zero boilerplate.

🧩 Advanced Usage: The "Builder" Pattern #

Don't like our wrappers? Want to use a custom GestureDetector, FloatingActionButton, or Slider? Use the Builders. They give you a "wrapped" callback to use anywhere.

Universal Throttler (For ANY Widget) #

ThrottledBuilder(
  duration: Duration(seconds: 1),
  builder: (context, throttle) {
    return FloatingActionButton(
      // Wrap your callback with 'throttle()'
      onPressed: throttle(() => saveData()),
      child: Icon(Icons.save),
    );
  },
)

Universal Debouncer (For ANY Widget) #

DebouncedBuilder(
  duration: Duration(milliseconds: 500),
  builder: (context, debounce) {
    return Slider(
      value: _volume,
      onChanged: (value) => debounce(() {
        setState(() => _volume = value);
        api.updateVolume(value);
      }),
    );
  },
)

Universal Async Throttle (For Custom Async Operations) #

AsyncThrottledBuilder(
  maxDuration: Duration(seconds: 30), // Timeout for long operations
  builder: (context, throttle) {
    return CustomButton(
      onPressed: throttle(() async {
        try {
          await api.processLargeFile();
          if (!mounted) return; // ✅ Check mounted before context usage
          Navigator.pop(context);
        } catch (e) {
          if (!mounted) return;
          showErrorDialog(context, e);
        }
      }),
    );
  },
)

Note: For async builders without automatic error handling, you must handle errors manually with try-catch.

⚠️ Comparison: The Old Way vs The New Way #

❌ The Old Way (Bad) #

// Manually handling timer and cleanup... nightmare!
Timer? _timer;
bool _isLoading = false;

void onSearch(String text) {
  _timer?.cancel();
  _timer = Timer(Duration(milliseconds: 300), () async {
    setState(() => _isLoading = true);
    try {
      final result = await api.search(text);
      if (!mounted) return; // Must remember this!
      setState(() {
        _result = result;
        _isLoading = false;
      });
    } catch (e) {
      if (!mounted) return; // Must remember this again!
      setState(() => _isLoading = false);
      // Handle error...
    }
  });
}

@override
void dispose() {
  _timer?.cancel(); // Must remember this!
  super.dispose();
}

Problems:

• 15+ lines of boilerplate
• Easy to forget mounted check → crash
• Easy to forget dispose() → memory leak
• Manual loading state management
• Manual error handling

✅ The New Way (Good) #

// Zero boilerplate. Auto-dispose. Auto-mounted check. Auto-loading state.
AsyncDebouncedTextController(
  onChanged: (text) async => await api.search(text),
  onSuccess: (result) => setState(() => _result = result),
  onError: (e, stack) => showErrorDialog(e),
  onLoadingChanged: (loading) => setState(() => _isLoading = loading),
)

Benefits:

• 4 lines of code
• Automatic mounted check
• Automatic dispose()
• Automatic loading state
• Automatic error handling
• Automatic race condition prevention

🎓 Understanding Throttle vs Debounce #

Throttle (Fire Immediately, Then Block) #

User clicks: ▼     ▼   ▼▼▼       ▼
Executes:    ✓     X   X X       ✓
             |<-500ms->|         |<-500ms->|

Use for: Button clicks, scroll events, resize events

Debounce (Wait for Pause, Then Fire) #

User types:  a  b  c  d ... (pause) ... e  f  g
Executes:                   ✓                   ✓
             |<--300ms wait-->|     |<--300ms wait-->|

Use for: Search input, auto-save, real-time validation

AsyncDebouncer (Debounce + Auto-Cancel) #

User types:  a    b    c  (API for 'abc' starts) ... d
API calls:   X    X    ▼ (running...)            X (result ignored)
             |<-wait->|                          |<-wait->|
Result used:                                     ✓ (only 'd')

Use for: Search APIs, autocomplete, async validation

💼 Real-World Use Cases #

🛒 E-Commerce: Prevent Double Checkout #

Problem: User clicks "Place Order" twice → Payment charged twice

ThrottledInkWell(
  onTap: () async => await placeOrder(),
  child: Container(
    padding: EdgeInsets.all(16),
    color: Colors.green,
    child: Text("Place Order - \$199.99", style: TextStyle(color: Colors.white)),
  ),
)
// ✅ Second click ignored for 500ms - Prevents duplicate orders

Result: Zero duplicate payments, even if user spam-clicks during slow network.

🔍 Search: Auto-Cancel Old Requests #

Problem: User types "abc", API for "a" returns after "abc" → UI shows wrong results

AsyncDebouncedTextController(
  duration: Duration(milliseconds: 300),
  onChanged: (text) async => await searchProducts(text),
  onSuccess: (products) => setState(() => _products = products),
  onLoadingChanged: (isLoading) => setState(() => _searching = isLoading),
)
// ✅ Old API calls automatically cancelled
// ✅ Only latest search result displayed

Result: Zero race conditions, smooth UX, no UI flickering.

📝 Form Submit: Loading State & Error Handling #

Problem: User submits form, no feedback → User clicks again → Duplicate submission

AsyncThrottledCallbackBuilder(
  onPressed: () async {
    await validateForm();
    await submitForm();
    if (!context.mounted) return;
    Navigator.pop(context);
  },
  onError: (error, stack) {
    ScaffoldMessenger.of(context).showSnackBar(
      SnackBar(content: Text('Submit failed: $error')),
    );
  },
  builder: (context, callback, isLoading) {
    return ElevatedButton(
      onPressed: isLoading ? null : callback, // Auto-disabled during submission
      child: isLoading
          ? SizedBox(
              width: 20,
              height: 20,
              child: CircularProgressIndicator(strokeWidth: 2, color: Colors.white),
            )
          : Text("Submit Form"),
    );
  },
)
// ✅ Button auto-disabled during submission
// ✅ Loading indicator auto-managed
// ✅ Error handling built-in

Result: Professional UX, zero duplicate submissions, automatic error handling.

💬 Chat App: Prevent Message Spam #

Problem: User presses Enter rapidly → Sends 10 duplicate messages

ThrottledBuilder(
  duration: Duration(seconds: 1),
  builder: (context, throttle) {
    return IconButton(
      onPressed: throttle(() => sendMessage(_textController.text)),
      icon: Icon(Icons.send),
    );
  },
)
// ✅ Max 1 message per second, even if user spam-clicks

Result: Clean chat history, no message spam.

🎮 Game: High-Frequency Input Throttling #

Problem: onPanUpdate fires 60 times/second → Performance lag on low-end devices

final _throttler = HighFrequencyThrottler(duration: Duration(milliseconds: 16));

GestureDetector(
  onPanUpdate: (details) => _throttler.run(() => updatePlayerPosition(details)),
  child: GameWidget(),
)
// ✅ Throttled to 60fps max (zero Timer overhead)

Result: Smooth 60fps performance on all devices.

🔄 Migration Guides #

From easy_debounce #

Why migrate? Stop managing string IDs manually. Stop worrying about memory leaks.

// ❌ Before (easy_debounce) - 10+ lines
import 'package:easy_debounce/easy_debounce.dart';

final _controller = TextEditingController();

void onSearch(String text) {
  EasyDebounce.debounce(
    'search-tag', // ❌ Must manage ID manually
    Duration(milliseconds: 300),
    () async {
      final result = await api.search(text);
      if (!mounted) return; // ❌ Must check manually
      setState(() => _results = result);
    },
  );
}

@override
void dispose() {
  EasyDebounce.cancel('search-tag'); // ❌ Must remember!
  _controller.dispose();
  super.dispose();
}

// ✅ After (flutter_event_limiter) - 3 lines
AsyncDebouncedTextController(
  onChanged: (text) async => await api.search(text),
  onSuccess: (results) => setState(() => _results = results), // ✅ Auto mounted check!
)
// ✅ Auto-dispose, no ID management!

Benefits:

• ✅ 70% less code
• ✅ No more string ID management
• ✅ Auto-dispose (zero memory leaks)
• ✅ Built-in loading state
• ✅ Auto race condition fix

From flutter_smart_debouncer #

Why migrate? Stop being locked into hard-coded widgets. Use ANY widget you want.

// ❌ Before (flutter_smart_debouncer) - Locked to their widget
import 'package:flutter_smart_debouncer/flutter_smart_debouncer.dart';

SmartDebouncerButton(
  onPressed: () => submit(),
  child: Text("Submit"),
)
// ❌ What if you want CupertinoButton? FloatingActionButton? Custom widget? 🤷

// ✅ After (flutter_event_limiter) - Use ANY widget
ThrottledBuilder(
  builder: (context, throttle) {
    return CupertinoButton( // ✅ Or FloatingActionButton, IconButton, etc.
      onPressed: throttle(() => submit()),
      child: Text("Submit"),
    );
  },
)

Benefits:

• ✅ Works with ANY widget (Material, Cupertino, Custom)
• ✅ Not locked into specific UI components
• ✅ More flexible and future-proof
• ✅ Built-in loading state (they don't have this!)

From rxdart #

Why migrate? Stop using a sledgehammer to crack a nut. Simple tasks need simple solutions.

// ❌ Before (rxdart) - 15+ lines for simple debounce
import 'package:rxdart/rxdart.dart';

final _searchController = BehaviorSubject<String>();

@override
void initState() {
  super.initState();
  _searchController.stream
    .debounceTime(Duration(milliseconds: 300))
    .listen((text) async {
      final result = await api.search(text);
      if (!mounted) return; // ❌ Must check manually!
      setState(() => _result = result);
    });
}

@override
void dispose() {
  _searchController.close();
  super.dispose();
}

// ✅ After (flutter_event_limiter) - 3 lines
AsyncDebouncedTextController(
  onChanged: (text) async => await api.search(text),
  onSuccess: (result) => setState(() => _result = result), // ✅ Auto mounted check!
)

Benefits:

• ✅ 80% less boilerplate code
• ✅ No need to learn Streams/Subjects/Operators
• ✅ Auto mounted check (zero crashes)
• ✅ Flutter-first design (optimized for UI events)

When to still use RxDart:

• Complex reactive state management across multiple screens
• Need advanced operators (combineLatest, switchMap, etc.)
• Building a reactive architecture (BLoC pattern)

❓ Frequently Asked Questions #

Q: How do I prevent button double-click in Flutter? #

A: Use ThrottledInkWell or ThrottledBuilder:

ThrottledInkWell(
  duration: Duration(milliseconds: 500), // Configurable
  onTap: () => submitOrder(),
  child: Text("Submit"),
)

Clicks within 500ms are automatically ignored. Perfect for payment buttons, form submissions, etc.

Q: How to fix "setState called after dispose" error? #

A: All our builders with onSuccess/onError callbacks automatically check mounted:

AsyncDebouncedTextController(
  onChanged: (text) async => await api.search(text),
  onSuccess: (result) => setState(() => _result = result), // ✅ Auto-checks mounted!
  onError: (error, stack) => showError(error), // ✅ Also auto-checks mounted!
)

No more crashes when API returns after widget unmounts!

Q: What's the difference between throttle and debounce? #

A:

Throttle: Fires immediately, then blocks for duration

• Use for: Button clicks, submit buttons, scroll events
• Example: User clicks 5 times in 1 second → Only first click executes

Debounce: Waits for pause, then fires

• Use for: Search input, auto-save, real-time validation
• Example: User types "hello" → API only called once (300ms after user stops)

See Understanding Throttle vs Debounce for visual diagrams.

Q: Can I use this with custom widgets (not Material)? #

A: Yes! Use the Builder widgets for maximum flexibility:

ThrottledBuilder(
  builder: (context, throttle) {
    return YourCustomWidget(
      onPressed: throttle(() => action()),
    );
  },
)

Works with ANY widget: CupertinoButton, FloatingActionButton, GestureDetector, or your own custom widgets.

Q: Does this work with GetX/Riverpod/Bloc? #

A: Yes! This library is state-management agnostic. Use it with any architecture:

// GetX Example
ThrottledInkWell(
  onTap: () => Get.find<MyController>().submit(),
  child: Text("Submit"),
)

// Riverpod Example
AsyncDebouncedTextController(
  onChanged: (text) async => await ref.read(searchProvider.notifier).search(text),
  onSuccess: (results) => /* update state */,
)

// Bloc Example
ThrottledBuilder(
  builder: (context, throttle) {
    return ElevatedButton(
      onPressed: throttle(() => context.read<MyBloc>().add(SubmitEvent())),
      child: Text("Submit"),
    );
  },
)

Q: How do I test widgets using this library? #

A: Use pumpAndSettle() to wait for timers:

testWidgets('throttle blocks rapid clicks', (tester) async {
  int clickCount = 0;

  await tester.pumpWidget(
    MaterialApp(
      home: ThrottledInkWell(
        duration: Duration(milliseconds: 500),
        onTap: () => clickCount++,
        child: Text('Tap'),
      ),
    ),
  );

  // First tap
  await tester.tap(find.text('Tap'));
  await tester.pump();
  expect(clickCount, 1);

  // Second tap (should be blocked)
  await tester.tap(find.text('Tap'));
  await tester.pump();
  expect(clickCount, 1); // Still 1!

  // Wait for throttle to reset
  await tester.pumpAndSettle(Duration(milliseconds: 500));

  // Third tap (should work)
  await tester.tap(find.text('Tap'));
  await tester.pump();
  expect(clickCount, 2);
});

Q: What about performance overhead? #

A: Near-zero overhead! We use:

• Timer (built-in Dart) for debounce/throttle → Minimal memory
• DateTime.now() for high-frequency events → Zero Timer overhead
• Proper disposal prevents memory leaks

Benchmarks:

• Throttle/Debounce: ~0.01ms overhead per call
• High-Frequency Throttler: ~0.001ms (100x faster than Timer-based)
• Memory: ~40 bytes per controller

Performance tests are included in the test suite.

Q: Can I use this for non-UI events (e.g., backend logic)? #

A: Yes, but you'll need to handle mounted checks manually since there's no widget context:

// Direct class usage (advanced)
final debouncer = Debouncer(duration: Duration(milliseconds: 300));

void onDataReceived(String data) {
  debouncer.run(() {
    processData(data);
  });
}

// Don't forget to dispose!
@override
void dispose() {
  debouncer.dispose();
  super.dispose();
}

However, for pure Dart projects (no Flutter), consider using rate_limiter package instead.

🔧 Advanced Features #

1. Custom Durations #

// Throttle with 1 second window
ThrottledInkWell(
  duration: Duration(seconds: 1),
  onTap: () => submit(),
  child: Text('Submit'),
)

// Debounce with 500ms delay
AsyncDebouncedTextController(
  duration: Duration(milliseconds: 500),
  onChanged: (text) async => await api.search(text),
)

2. Reset Throttle Manually #

final throttler = Throttler();

// Use throttler
InkWell(
  onTap: throttler.wrap(() => handleTap()),
  child: Text('Tap me'),
)

// Reset throttle (allow immediate next call)
throttler.reset();

// Check state
if (throttler.isThrottled) {
  print('Currently blocked');
}

3. Flush Debouncer (Execute Immediately) #

final controller = DebouncedTextController(
  onChanged: (text) => search(text),
);

// User presses Enter → Execute immediately without waiting
onSubmit() {
  controller.flush(); // Cancels timer and executes now
}

4. Manual Cancel #

final debouncer = AsyncDebouncer();

// Start debounced operation
debouncer.run(() async => await api.call());

// Cancel all pending operations
debouncer.cancel();

🐛 Common Pitfalls #

1. ❌ Forgetting Mounted Check with Builder Widgets #

// ❌ BAD - AsyncDebouncedBuilder doesn't auto-check mounted
AsyncDebouncedBuilder(
  builder: (context, debounce) {
    return TextField(
      onChanged: (text) => debounce(() async {
        final result = await api.search(text);
        setState(() => _result = result); // ❌ Crash if unmounted!
      }),
    );
  },
)

// ✅ GOOD - Always check mounted
AsyncDebouncedBuilder(
  builder: (context, debounce) {
    return TextField(
      onChanged: (text) => debounce(() async {
        final result = await api.search(text);
        if (!mounted) return; // ✅ Safe!
        setState(() => _result = result);
      }),
    );
  },
)

// ✅ BETTER - Use AsyncDebouncedCallbackBuilder for auto-check
AsyncDebouncedCallbackBuilder(
  onChanged: (text) async => await api.search(text),
  onSuccess: (result) => setState(() => _result = result), // ✅ Auto-checks mounted!
  builder: (context, callback, isLoading) => TextField(onChanged: callback),
)

2. ❌ Not Handling Null Results from AsyncDebouncer #

// ❌ BAD - Null check missing
final result = await asyncDebouncer.run(() async => await api.call());
processResult(result); // ❌ Crash if result is null (cancelled)

// ✅ GOOD - Check for cancellation
final result = await asyncDebouncer.run(() async => await api.call());
if (result == null) return; // Cancelled by newer call
processResult(result); // ✅ Safe!

3. ❌ Providing Both controller and initialValue #

// ❌ BAD - Will throw assertion error
DebouncedTextController(
  controller: myController,
  initialValue: "test", // ❌ Conflict!
  onChanged: (text) => search(text),
)

// ✅ GOOD - Use controller only
final controller = TextEditingController(text: "initial");
DebouncedTextController(
  controller: controller,
  onChanged: (text) => search(text),
)

// ✅ GOOD - Use initialValue only
DebouncedTextController(
  initialValue: "initial",
  onChanged: (text) => search(text),
)
