Streamlining Your Flutter App: A Clean Approach to Bloc Communication

In the world of Flutter development, managing multiple BLoCs can sometimes feel overwhelming, especially when it comes to maintaining a clean structure and efficient communication among them. If you find yourself needing to monitor various statuses—like connectivity or battery levels—through different blocs, you're not alone. This post will help you understand how to implement a summary bloc that gracefully orchestrates the statuses returned from other status blocs.

The Problem

Imagine you have several blocs in your Flutter app, each responsible for monitoring distinct statuses:

ConnectivityCheckCubit: Monitors network connectivity.

BatteryCheckCubit: Tracks battery status.

SummaryCubit: Aids in aggregating results from the above blocs.

The challenge lies in efficiently managing communication among these blocs. How can you design the SummaryCubit to gather results from ConnectivityCheckCubit and BatteryCheckCubit, then emit a state that reflects the overall status?

The Solution

There are generally two main strategies to manage communication between blocs effectively:

Option 1: Presentation Layer Approach

This method involves connecting blocs through the presentation layer using BlocListener. Here's a streamlined way to achieve this:

Create a Dedicated Check Widget: This widget will act as a container for multiple BlocListener instances.

Use the Check Widget in Your UI: Wherever you require monitoring, wrap your widget with CheckWidget.

Option 2: Repository Layer Approach

Alternatively, you can reduce the reliance on the presentation layer and manage status checks within repositories. This way, ConnectivityCheckRepo and BatteryCheckRepo can handle platform-specific checks and report their statuses to a central SummaryRepo.

Define Your Repository Classes:

Connect Repositories to Cubits:

Ensure that your SummaryCubit listens for changes from SummaryRepo.

Conclusion

By utilizing either of the two approaches outlined above—Leveraging either the presentation layer or repositories—you can effectively manage communications among your blocs in a clean, organized manner. This not only results in better-maintained code but also promotes scalability as your Flutter application grows.
