Infinite ListView for Flutter

Overview

The Infinite ListView widget is designed to simplify the creation of paginated lists in your Flutter application. This widget integrates seamlessly with the BLoC pattern and allows you to load more items as the user scrolls to the bottom of the list.

Features

• Automatic Pagination: Load more items automatically when the user reaches the bottom of the
  list.
• Refresh Control: Pull-to-refresh functionality to reload the entire list.
• Customizable UI: Easily customize loading, error, and empty state widgets.
• Debounced Scrolling: Prevents multiple loading triggers in rapid succession, ensuring
  efficient data fetching.
• BLoC Integration: Works with flutter_bloc to manage states and events, ensuring a clean and
  maintainable codebase.
• UI Customization: Customize the list container with color, border radius, border color, border
  width, and box shadow.
• Custom Dividers: Add custom dividers between list items using the dividerWidget.

Usage

To use the Infinite ListView, you need to provide an instance of your BLoC and an item builder. The BLoC should handle loading initial items and fetching more items as needed.

Creating a Custom BLoC

Extend the InfiniteListBloc class to create your custom BLoC. Override the fetchItems method to define how items are fetched. Here’s an example of a custom BLoC implementation:

import 'package:bloc_infinity_list/bloc_infinity_list.dart';

class MyCustomBloc extends InfiniteListBloc<ListItem> {
  @override
  Future<List<ListItem>> fetchItems(
      {required int limit, required int offset}) async {
    try {
      await Future.delayed(Durations.long1);

      if (offset >= 50) {
        return [];
      }

      return List.generate(
          limit, (index) => ListItem(name: 'Item ${offset + index + 1}'));
    } on Exception {
      rethrow;
    }
  }
}

Example Usage

import 'package:flutter/material.dart';
import 'package:flutter_bloc/flutter_bloc.dart';
import 'package:bloc_infinity_list/bloc_infinity_list.dart';

class MyListPage extends StatelessWidget {
  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    final MyCustomBloc bloc = MyCustomBloc();

    return Scaffold(
      appBar: AppBar(title: Text('Infinite ListView Example')),
      body: InfiniteListView<ListItem>(
        bloc: bloc,
        itemBuilder: (context, item) => ListTile(title: Text(item.name)),
        dividerWidget: Divider(),
        loadingWidget: (context) => Center(child: CircularProgressIndicator()),
        errorWidget: (context, error) => Center(child: Text('Error: $error')),
        emptyWidget: (context) => Center(child: Text('No items available')),
        padding: EdgeInsets.all(16.0),
        color: Colors.white,
        borderRadius: BorderRadius.circular(10.0),
        borderColor: Colors.grey,
        borderWidth: 2.0,
        boxShadow: [BoxShadow(color: Colors.black12, blurRadius: 5.0)],
      ),
    );
  }
}
