list_smith: ^2.0.1 copied to clipboard

A developer-first Flutter package that wraps ListView.builder for real-world lists: async pagination, pull-to-refresh, and sync-or-async search.

2.0.1 - 2026-10-07 #

Fixed #

  • [#89] Error and empty surfaces built with a LayoutBuilder no longer crash
  • [#93] Error and empty screens move only into a pull

2.0.0 - 2026-10-05 #

Added #

  • [#24] In-place item edits (upsert / remove) without a refetch
  • [#75] Rows follow their item, and edits can animate them in and out
  • [#80] pullableSurfaces controls conditions for interacting with the RefreshIndicator

Changed #

  • [#74] Pull indicator follows the pull's side and physics, adds pullDirection and indicatorExtent
  • [#75] BREAKING: ListSmith.async now requires itemIdGetter, which replaces the optional itemId.
  • [#75] BREAKING: the ItemId typedef is now ItemIdGetter.
  • [#69] BREAKING: PullToRefresh's refreshBuilder is now indicatorBuilder (RefreshIndicatorBuilder), with no child argument. ListSmithRefreshPhase drops .idle.
  • [#24] BREAKING: ListSmithController is now typed by its list's items.
  • BREAKING: AsyncListSurfaces, ListScrollConfig and ListSmithRefreshState are final
  • [#80] BREAKING: ErrorBuilder and ListSmithObserver.onError take an Exception. A fetcher's Error now reaches your app instead of the error surface.

Fixed #

  • [#69] Idle lists stop drawing frames: indicatorBuilder replaces refreshBuilder
  • [#72] A row keeps its state, and a swipe in progress, when rows above it come or go
  • [#80] No pull or extra request while the 1st page loads, and no list stuck on its loader after quick restarts
  • [#80] The 1st-page loader fills one screen and stays still, so a LayoutBuilder in it works

Removed #

  • [#80] refresh(), invalidate() and reset() wait for the fresh page. A short list takes a pull with any scroll setup. infinite_scroll_pagination is gone.

1.0.0 - 2026-09-11 #

Added #

  • [#23] Add ListSmithController to refresh an async list from code (a button, a tab re-tap)
  • [#59] ListSmithController gains invalidate(), which re-reads every loaded page in place, and reset(), which starts over from page one. Both report FetchTrigger.invalidated.

Changed #

  • [#45] BREAKING: fetch closures take one PageRequest, or SearchPageRequest when searching, instead of positional arguments. The old arguments are the request fields under the same names: pageIndex, pageSize, previousSignal, plus query on a search. Watch your interpolations, "$pageIndex" becomes "${request.pageIndex}".
  • [#59] BREAKING: ListSmithObserver.onRefresh() is now onReload(FetchTrigger trigger), and it fires for every reload the engine starts, not just a pull. Rename your override.
  • [#59] BREAKING: EmptyPageContext.moreAvailable is now isMoreAvailable. Only a custom EmptyPageBehaviour reads it.
  • BREAKING: the SDK floor is now Dart 3.13 and Flutter 3.47, up from Dart 3.12 and Flutter 3.44.
  • [#37] Grouping: one header for a group that straddles a page boundary, in release too

Fixed #

  • [#35] Drop the in-flight fetch when the paging state is swapped wholesale
  • [#60] KeepCachePolicy: a refresh, invalidate() or reset() while searching now reaches the kept feed

0.1.1 - 2026-07-20 #

Added #

  • [#28] Add a depth-preserving pull-to-refresh strategy (ReloadToCurrentDepth)
  • [#25] SyncSearchPredicates: ready-made sync-search predicate builders. fields (contains), prefix (starts-with), exact (equals), allTerms (multi-word AND), and any/every to combine predicates.

Fixed #

  • [#26] Add EmptyPageBehaviour to page past empty pages

0.1.0 - 2026-07-19 #

Added #

  • [#7] groupBy + groupByHeaderBuilder
  • [#5] Android verified
  • [#1] ExplicitHasMorePolicy: end pagination when the fetcher reports hasMore is false, so a trailing empty page is never fetched to find the end.
  • [#1] PageFetcher.withSignal and SearchPageFetcher.withSignal: return (items, signal) to report an end signal (a hasMore flag or a next-cursor) to the end policy.
  • [#1] Implement your own PaginationEndPolicy over EndContext for custom end-detection, e.g. stop on a short last page or a null next-cursor.
  • [#14] Cursor-driven pagination: PageFetcher.withSignal and SearchPageFetcher.withSignal now receive the previous page's signal as previousSignal, so a cursor source drives the next fetch from the cursor the previous page returned.
  • [#14] StopOnNullSignalPolicy: end pagination when the fetcher returns a null cursor (the cursor-paging counterpart to ExplicitHasMorePolicy).
  • [#14] PaginationEndPolicy.requiresSignal: a policy declares whether it reads the fetcher's end signal, so a signal-reporting fetcher is required at construction.

Changed #

  • [#4] Verify regression + Bump python versions
  • [#1] BREAKING: PageFetcher and SearchPageFetcher are now classes, not function typedefs. Wrap your fetch function, e.g. fetchPage: PageFetcher((pageIndex, pageSize) => ...).
  • [#1] PaginationEndPolicy is now an open interface: end-detection is a public hasReachedEnd(EndContext), previously an internal resolver over per-page counts.
  • [#16] Grouping polymorphic dispatch
  • [#3] BREAKING: pull-to-refresh is now the refresh: seam (PullToRefresh default, NoRefresh to disable), replacing the pullToRefresh bool. Migrate pullToRefresh: false to refresh: NoRefresh().
  • [#3] BREAKING: the custom pull-to-refresh indicator moved from AsyncListSurfaces.refreshBuilder to PullToRefresh(refreshBuilder:). Migrate surfaces: AsyncListSurfaces(refreshBuilder: fn) to refresh: PullToRefresh(refreshBuilder: fn).
  • [#3] BREAKING: async search is now the search: seam (AsyncSearch(fetchPage:, cachePolicy:), default NoSearch), replacing searchFetchPage and searchCachePolicy. Migrate searchFetchPage: fn, searchCachePolicy: p to search: AsyncSearch(fetchPage: fn, cachePolicy: p).

Fixed #

  • [#2] keep pagination alive past an all-duplicate page

0.0.1 - 2026-07-15 #

Added #

  • ListSmith.async: async pagination and pull-to-refresh over a page fetcher, with neutral, overridable widgets-layer surfaces.
  • ListSmith.sync: client-side search over an in-memory list via a search predicate.
  • Async two-view search via searchFetchPage, with a sealed SearchCachePolicy (ReplaceCachePolicy default, KeepCachePolicy).
  • Swappable pagination end-detection: StopOnEmptyPagesPolicy (default) and FixedPageCountPolicy.
  • Opt-in itemId de-duplication for items repeated across overlapping pages.
  • Lifecycle observer ListSmithObserver (and LoggingListSmithObserver) for page-load, error, refresh, and search events.
