Transitioning from mapEventToState to on<Event> in Flutter Bloc: A Comprehensive Guide

As Flutter developers continue to enhance their applications with robust state management solutions, the flutter_bloc package has undergone significant updates. One notable change is the deprecation of the mapEventToState method, which has left many developers wondering how to adapt their existing code, especially those utilizing bloc hierarchies. If you’re facing this situation, you’re not alone! Let’s explore the problem and provide a clear solution.

The Problem: Deprecation of mapEventToState

In previous versions of the flutter_bloc package, developers commonly used the mapEventToState method to define how events would produce states within a Bloc. Its deprecation in newer releases prompts the question:

What Should You Use Instead of super.mapEventToState?

While many developers are aware of the new on<Event> method, they might be unsure about how to effectively replace super.mapEventToState in their implementations.

The Solution: Implementing on<Event>

Instead of the mapEventToState method, you can utilize the on<Event> method to handle events and emit corresponding states in a clear and organized manner. Below, we break down how to effectively set up your Bloc using this newer approach.

Step 1: Update Your Bloc Class

Here’s a structured way to modernize your Bloc class:

Step 2: Define the Event Handler

Next, you need to define the function that will handle the GetProductsEvent. This function will be triggered whenever the specified event is added to your Bloc.

Explanation of the Code

Event Triggering: The on<GetProductsEvent> line indicates that whenever a GetProductsEvent occurs, the _onGetProducts function will be executed.

State Emission: In our _onGetProducts method:

We first emit a LoadingProductsState to indicate to the UI that data is being fetched.

We use the getProductsUsecase to fetch the products. The result is processed using a fold function, which allows us to handle both success and failure cases seamlessly.

Depending on the outcome, either a LoadFailedState is emitted, or a successful ProductsLoadedState is emitted with the retrieved products.

Conclusion

Transitioning from mapEventToState to on<Event> in the Flutter Bloc package enhances clarity and efficiency in event handling and state management. By structuring your BLoC implementations in this way, you not only stay up-to-date with package updates but also improve the maintainability and readability of your code.

Keep exploring and adapting to the changes in Flutter, and happy coding!
