How to Update ListView.builder in Real-Time After Filtering Data in Flutter

When building Flutter applications, especially those that involve dynamic data, it’s important to ensure that all parts of your user interface remain synchronized with changes to that data. A common challenge developers face is ensuring a ListView.builder updates in real-time after filtering its data source, particularly when the data source itself changes, like in the case of new bookings being added.

In this guide, we will explore how to tackle the problem of updating a ListView.builder in real-time after a user selects a date on a TableCalendar, which filters a list of bookings. We will provide a concise solution that simplifies state management using the Riverpod package.

The Problem

In the example scenario, you have a Flutter application where the following occurs:

You utilize a StreamBuilder to manage a list of bookings sourced from a database.

A TableCalendar allows users to select a day and filter bookings based on the selected date.

The issue arises when a new booking is added to the database; while the stream updates, the displayed bookings do not refresh automatically in the ListView.builder unless the user clicks the calendar again.

This leads to a frustrating user experience where the displayed list does not reflect the most current data.

The Solution

Avoid Mixing State Management Techniques

First and foremost, it’s essential to note that mixing setState with Riverpod can complicate state management. Instead, focus on structuring your code for clarity and efficiency.

Move Filtering Logic Into the build() Method

The simplest way to ensure that your ListView.builder reflects the most current filtered list is to recalculate the filtered list every time the widget rebuilds. You can achieve this by calculating the filtered bookings right inside the build() method rather than storing them in a state variable.

Here's how to do it:

Remove the State Variable for Filtered Bookings:
You have a state variable for filteredBooking. Remove it to allow a fresh calculation during each build.

Calculate Filtered Bookings in the build() Method:
Incorporate the filtering logic inside your build() method to ensure the list updates automatically when the data source changes.

Resulting Impact

This way, every time the StreamBuilder updates (due to new data being added or an event triggering a rebuild), the ListView.builder fetches the latest filtered list of bookings without any additional user interaction. This results in a more seamless user experience.

Summary of Steps

Avoid mixing setState and Riverpod for state management in the same widget.

Remove any state variables that can be recalculated during the widget rebuild.

Calculate any filtered lists directly in the build() method to update data automatically.

Conclusion

By implementing these changes, you can efficiently manage state in your Flutter applications, ensuring that your ListView.builder updates in real-time as new bookings are added. This results in a smoother, more user-friendly experience.

With these adjustments, your Flutter app will be better equipped to handle dynamic lists seamlessly. Happy coding!
