GetStacked

This package is an implementation of the Stacked package using Get.

For those unfamiliar with the Stacked architecture I strongly advice that you head over to the documentation for the for the stacked package and also check out some of the tutorials here.

If you are familiar with the stacked architecture, this is a version of the Stacked package based around Get for state management, whereas the stacked package originally used provider.

Coming From Stacked

The BaseViewModel

The BaseViewModel equivalent in this package is the BaseGetController. I'll use an example from the stacked package's documentation to show the similarities and differences.

Stacked

Model:

class WidgetOneViewModel extends BaseViewModel {

  Human _currentHuman;
  Human get currentHuman => _currentHuman;

  void setBusyOnProperty() {
    setBusyForObject(_currentHuman, true);
    // Fetch updated human data
    setBusyForObject(_currentHuman, false);
  }

  void setModelBusy() {
    setBusy(true);
    // Do things here
    setBusy(false);
  }

  Future longUpdateStuff() async {
    // Sets busy to true before starting future and sets it to false after executing
    // You can also pass in an object as the busy object. Otherwise it'll use the model
    var result = await runBusyFuture(updateStuff());
  }

  Future updateStuff() {
    return Future.delayed(const Duration(seconds: 3));
  }
}

View:

class WidgetOne extends StatelessWidget {
  const WidgetOne({Key key}) : super(key: key);

  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return ViewModelBuilder<WidgetOneViewModel>.reactive(
      viewModelBuilder: () => WidgetOneViewModel(),
      builder: (context, model, child) => GestureDetector(
        onTap: () => model.longUpdateStuff(),
        child: Container(
          width: 100,
          height: 100,
          // Use isBusy to check if the model is set to busy
          color: model.isBusy ? Colors.green : Colors.red,
          alignment: Alignment.center,
          // A bit silly to pass the same property back into the viewmodel
          // but here it makes sense
          child: model.busy(model.currentHuman)
              ? Center(
                  child: CircularProgressIndicator(),
                )
              : Container(/* Human Details styling */)
        ),
      ),
    );
  }
}

With GetStacked

Controller:

class WidgetOneViewModel extends BaseGetController {

  Human _currentHuman;
  Human get currentHuman => _currentHuman;

  void setBusyOnProperty() {
    setBusyForObject(_currentHuman, true);
    // Fetch updated human data
    setBusyForObject(_currentHuman, false);
  }

  void setModelBusy() {
    setBusy(true);
    // Do things here
    setBusy(false);
  }

  Future longUpdateStuff() async {
    // Sets busy to true before starting future and sets it to false after executing
    // You can also pass in an object as the busy object. Otherwise it'll use the model
    var result = await runBusyFuture(updateStuff());
  }

  Future updateStuff() {
    return Future.delayed(const Duration(seconds: 3));
  }
}

View:

class WidgetOne extends StatelessWidget {
  const WidgetOne({Key key}) : super(key: key);

  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return GetBuilder(
      init: WidgetOneViewModel(),
      builder: (model) => GestureDetector(
        onTap: () => model.longUpdateStuff(),
        child: Container(
          width: 100,
          height: 100,
          // Use isBusy to check if the model is set to busy
          color: model.isBusy ? Colors.green : Colors.red,
          alignment: Alignment.center,
          // A bit silly to pass the same property back into the viewmodel
          // but here it makes sense
          child: model.busy(model.currentHuman)
              ? Center(
                  child: CircularProgressIndicator(),
                )
              : Container(/* Human Details styling */)
        ),
      ),
    );
  }
}
