Unlocking Lifecycle Events in Flutter's BLoC: A Guide to onClose and onCreate Events

In Flutter development, managing state efficiently is crucial, and the BLoC (Business Logic Component) pattern provides a robust solution for this. However, a common challenge developers face is how to hook into lifecycle events—specifically onClose and onCreate—for individual cubits instead of observing every cubit's lifecycle. In this guide, we'll explore how to effectively achieve this, enabling you to have finer control over your cubits in your Flutter applications.

Understanding the Problem

When working with cubits in Flutter's BLoC architecture, you may need to run specific code when a cubit is created or closed. While BlocObserver provides global hooks for all cubits, you might want to observe lifecycle events for individual cubit instances. The default onClose method is limited to global observations, leaving developers seeking a tailored approach for specific cubits.

Solutions Overview

There are two primary methods to hook into the onClose and onCreate lifecycle events for specific cubits:

Implementing a Custom Observer - Filtering events using a custom observer that checks the cubit instance.

Creating a Cubit Subclass - Developing a subclass of cubit where you can override lifecycle methods directly.

Let’s delve into each solution in detail.

Method 1: Custom Observer Implementation

In this approach, we create a custom BlocObserver that filters out events based on the cubit instance. This allows us to execute code only when a specific cubit closes. Here’s how you can set it up:

In this code:

We define a custom MyObserver class extending BlocObserver.

The onClose method checks if the cubit that triggered the closure is the specific cubit we are interested in.

You can add your own logic to execute when that cubit closes.

Method 2: Creating a Cubit Subclass

Another approach is to create your own cubit subclass and directly override its lifecycle methods. This is more straightforward and allows complete control over the lifecycle hooks.

Here’s a sample implementation:

Breakdown of the Code:

VpCubit is a generic cubit that extends the base Cubit class. It overrides the close method to call a custom onClose method while still ensuring the parent functionality is retained.

LoggedOutNickNameCubit extends VpCubit and implements onClose and onCreate methods, which contain specific logic when the cubit is closed or created.

Conclusion

By implementing either a Custom Observer or creating a Cubit Subclass, you can effectively manage the lifecycle events of specific cubits in your Flutter applications. These strategies not only enhance your control over the state management process but also streamline your code for better maintainability and readability.

Feel free to mix and match these approaches depending on your application's architecture and needs. Happy coding!
