🚀 Getting Started #

Basic Setup #

import 'package:dio_flow/dio_flow.dart';
import 'package:flutter/material.dart';

void main() async {
  // Initialize the Flutter binding
  WidgetsFlutterBinding.ensureInitialized();
  
  // Step 1: Initialize the API client configuration
  DioFlowConfig.initialize(
    baseUrl: 'https://api.example.com',
    connectTimeout: const Duration(seconds: 30),
    receiveTimeout: const Duration(seconds: 30),
    sendTimeout: const Duration(seconds: 30),
  );
  
  // Step 2: Initialize ApiClient (important!)
  await ApiClient.initialize();
  
  runApp(MyApp());
}

🌐 API Client #

The API client is the core of dio_flow. It provides a simplified interface for making HTTP requests.

Initialization #

// Step 1: Initialize DioFlowConfig with default configuration
DioFlowConfig.initialize(
  baseUrl: 'https://api.example.com',
);

// Initialize with custom timeouts
DioFlowConfig.initialize(
  baseUrl: 'https://api.example.com',
  connectTimeout: const Duration(seconds: 10),
  receiveTimeout: const Duration(seconds: 10),
  sendTimeout: const Duration(seconds: 10),
);

// Step 2: Initialize ApiClient (this step is required)
await ApiClient.initialize();

Custom Configuration #

// Add custom headers to all requests
ApiClient.dio.options.headers = {
  'Accept': 'application/json',
  'User-Agent': 'MyApp/1.0.0',
};

// Add interceptors
final logInterceptor = LogInterceptor(
  requestBody: true,
  responseBody: true,
);
ApiClient.dio.interceptors.add(logInterceptor);

// Set base options
ApiClient.dio.options.validateStatus = (status) {
  return status != null && status >= 200 && status < 300;
};

🔄 Endpoints #

Endpoints allow you to define and manage your API routes in a centralized way.

Basic Endpoint Registration #

// Register endpoints
EndpointProvider.instance.register('users', '/api/users');
EndpointProvider.instance.register('user', '/api/users/{id}');
EndpointProvider.instance.register('posts', '/api/posts');

// Register multiple endpoints at once
EndpointProvider.instance.registerAll({
  'comments': '/api/comments',
  'likes': '/api/likes',
});

Dynamic Path Parameters #

// Get an endpoint with path parameters
final userEndpoint = EndpointProvider.instance.getEndpoint('user');

// Access the path property
final basePath = userEndpoint.path; // Returns '/api/users/{id}'

// For replacing path parameters, you'll need to implement your own logic
// Example implementation:
String resolvePath(String path, Map<String, dynamic> params) {
  String result = path;
  params.forEach((key, value) {
    result = result.replaceAll('{$key}', value.toString());
  });
  return result;
}

final userPath = resolvePath(userEndpoint.path, {'id': '123'}); // Returns '/api/users/123'

Custom Endpoint Classes #

// Define a custom endpoint
class SearchEndpoint implements ApiEndpointInterface {
  @override
  final String path = '/api/search';
  
  String buildSearchQuery(String query, List<String> filters) {
    final queryParams = Uri.encodeQueryComponent(query);
    final filtersParam = filters.join(',');
    return '$path?q=$queryParams&filters=$filtersParam';
  }
}

// Register the custom endpoint
final searchEndpoint = SearchEndpoint();
EndpointProvider.instance.register('search', searchEndpoint);

// Use the custom endpoint
final endpoint = EndpointProvider.instance.getEndpoint('search') as SearchEndpoint;
final searchUrl = endpoint.buildSearchQuery('flutter', ['articles', 'tutorials']);

📡 Making Requests #

Use DioRequestHandler to make API requests with simplified methods.

GET Requests #

// Basic GET request
final response = await DioRequestHandler.get('users');

// GET with query parameters
final userResponse = await DioRequestHandler.get(
  'users',
  parameters: {'role': 'admin', 'active': true},
);

// GET with path parameters
final userDetailResponse = await DioRequestHandler.get(
  'user',
  pathParameters: {'id': '123'},
);

POST Requests #

// Basic POST request
final createResponse = await DioRequestHandler.post(
  'users',
  data: {'name': 'John Doe', 'email': '[email protected]'},
);

// POST with form data
final formData = FormData.fromMap({
  'name': 'John Doe',
  'profile_picture': await MultipartFile.fromFile(
    './profile.jpg',
    filename: 'profile.jpg',
  ),
});

final uploadResponse = await DioRequestHandler.post(
  'users',
  data: formData,
);

PUT Requests #

// Basic PUT request
final updateResponse = await DioRequestHandler.put(
  'user',
  pathParameters: {'id': '123'},
  data: {'name': 'John Updated', 'email': '[email protected]'},
);

DELETE Requests #

// Basic DELETE request
final deleteResponse = await DioRequestHandler.delete(
  'user',
  pathParameters: {'id': '123'},
);

Request Options #

// Set custom options for a request
final response = await DioRequestHandler.get(
  'users',
  requestOptions: RequestOptionsModel(
    requireAuth: true,           // Requires authentication
    cacheResponse: true,         // Enable caching
    cacheTTL: Duration(hours: 1), // Cache time-to-live
    retryCount: 3,               // Number of retries on failure
    retryInterval: Duration(seconds: 2), // Interval between retries
  ),
);

📊 Response Models #

dio_flow provides standardized response models for consistent handling of API responses.

Success Response #

// Handle a successful response
final response = await DioRequestHandler.get('users');

if (response is SuccessResponseModel) {
  final data = response.data;
  final meta = response.meta; // Pagination metadata if available
  
  print('Got ${data.length} users');
  print('Total users: ${meta?.total}');
}

Failed Response #

// Handle a failed response
final response = await DioRequestHandler.get('invalid-endpoint');

if (response is FailedResponseModel) {
  final statusCode = response.statusCode;
  final errorMessage = response.message;
  final errorData = response.data;
  
  print('Error $statusCode: $errorMessage');
  print('Additional error data: $errorData');
}

🔑 Authentication #

dio_flow includes a token management system for handling authentication.

Setting Tokens #

// After successful login
TokenManager.setTokens(
  accessToken: 'your_access_token',
  refreshToken: 'your_refresh_token',
  expiry: DateTime.now().add(Duration(hours: 1)),
);

Using Tokens #

// Get the current access token
final token = await TokenManager.getAccessToken();

// Clear tokens (logout)
TokenManager.clearTokens();

Custom Token Refresh #

// Set up a custom token refresh function
TokenManager.setTokenRefreshFunction((refreshToken) async {
  // Make a request to refresh the token
  final response = await DioRequestHandler.post(
    'auth/refresh',
    data: {'refresh_token': refreshToken},
    requestOptions: RequestOptionsModel(requireAuth: false),
  );
  
  if (response is SuccessResponseModel) {
    return TokenResponse(
      accessToken: response.data['access_token'],
      refreshToken: response.data['refresh_token'],
      expiry: DateTime.parse(response.data['expires_at']),
    );
  }
  
  throw Exception('Failed to refresh token');
});

📄 Pagination #

dio_flow provides utilities to simplify working with paginated APIs.

Using PaginationUtils #

// Check if there are more pages available
bool hasMore = PaginationUtils.hasMorePages(response, pageSize);

// Fetch all pages automatically
final allPagesResponse = await PaginationUtils.fetchAllPages(
  endpoint: 'posts',
  parameters: {'status': 'published'},
  pageParamName: 'page',
  perPageParamName: 'per_page',
  dataExtractor: (response) {
    // Extract the data array from the response
    if (response is SuccessResponseModel) {
      return response.data;
    }
    return [];
  },
  stopCondition: (responseData) {
    // Define when to stop fetching more pages
    return responseData.isEmpty || responseData.length < 20;
  },
);

🔍 JSON Utilities #

dio_flow includes utilities for working with JSON data.

Safe Parsing #

// Safely parse JSON without throwing exceptions
final jsonString = '{"name": "John", "age": 30}';
final parsedJson = JsonUtils.tryParseJson(jsonString);

// Handle invalid JSON
final invalidJson = '{name: John}'; // Missing quotes
final result = JsonUtils.tryParseJson(invalidJson);
print(result); // null

Nested Value Access #

// Access nested values with dot notation
final data = {
  'user': {
    'profile': {
      'name': 'John Doe',
      'details': {
        'age': 30,
        'location': {
          'city': 'New York',
          'country': 'USA'
        }
      }
    }
  }
};

// Get nested values safely
final name = JsonUtils.getNestedValue(data, 'user.profile.name', '');
print(name); // John Doe

final city = JsonUtils.getNestedValue(data, 'user.profile.details.location.city', '');
print(city); // New York

// Provide default values for missing paths
final phone = JsonUtils.getNestedValue(data, 'user.profile.phone', 'N/A');
print(phone); // N/A

Key Normalization #

// Normalize inconsistent JSON keys
final weirdJson = {
  'First_Name': 'John',
  'LAST-NAME': 'Doe',
  'EMAIL_ADDRESS': '[email protected]',
  'Phone_NUMBER': '123-456-7890',
  'user-SETTINGS': {
    'THEME_PREFERENCE': 'dark',
    'NOTIFICATIONS_ENABLED': true
  }
};

// Convert all keys to lowercase
final normalized = JsonUtils.normalizeJsonKeys(weirdJson);
print(normalized);
// Output:
// {
//   'first_name': 'John',
//   'last-name': 'Doe',
//   'email_address': '[email protected]',
//   'phone_number': '123-456-7890',
//   'user-settings': {
//     'theme_preference': 'dark',
//     'notifications_enabled': true
//   }
// }

// Keep original case
final preservedCase = JsonUtils.normalizeJsonKeys(
  weirdJson,
  keysToLowerCase: false,
);
print(preservedCase);
// Keys remain as they were in the original

JSON Encoding #

// Safely encode an object to JSON
final map = {'name': 'John', 'age': 30};
final jsonString = JsonUtils.tryEncodeJson(map);

// With pretty formatting
final prettyJson = JsonUtils.tryEncodeJson(map, pretty: true);

❌ Error Handling #

dio_flow provides a standardized approach to error handling.

Basic Error Handling #

try {
  final response = await DioRequestHandler.get('users');
  
  if (response is SuccessResponseModel) {
    // Handle success
    print('Success: ${response.data}');
  } else {
    // Handle error
    final error = response as FailedResponseModel;
    print('Error ${error.statusCode}: ${error.message}');
  }
} catch (e) {
  // Handle unexpected errors
  print('Unexpected error: $e');
}

Error Type Handling #

Future<void> fetchData() async {
  try {
    final response = await DioRequestHandler.get('protected-resource');
    
    if (response is SuccessResponseModel) {
      // Handle success
    } else {
      final error = response as FailedResponseModel;
      
      // Handle by error type
      switch (error.errorType) {
        case ErrorType.authentication:
          handleUnauthorized();
          break;
        case ErrorType.authorization:
          handleForbidden();
          break;
        case ErrorType.notFound:
          handleNotFound();
          break;
        case ErrorType.server:
          handleServerError();
          break;
        default:
          handleGenericError(error);
          break;
      }
    }
  } on DioException catch (e) {
    // Handle Dio specific errors
    if (e.type == DioExceptionType.connectionTimeout) {
      handleTimeout();
    } else if (e.type == DioExceptionType.connectionError) {
      handleConnectionError();
    } else {
      handleGenericDioError(e);
    }
  } catch (e) {
    // Handle other errors
    handleUnexpectedError(e);
  }
}

💾 Caching #

dio_flow includes a built-in caching system for API responses. This system is automatically managed through the CacheInterceptor.

Basic Caching #

// Enable caching for a request
final response = await DioRequestHandler.get(
  'frequently-accessed-data',
  requestOptions: RequestOptionsModel(
    cacheResponse: true,
    cacheTTL: Duration(hours: 1),
  ),
);

Cache Management #

// Clear the cache by resetting the ApiClient (both DioFlowConfig and ApiClient)
DioFlowConfig.reset();
ApiClient.reset();

// Reinitialize after clearing
DioFlowConfig.initialize(baseUrl: 'https://api.example.com');
await ApiClient.initialize();

📝 Logging #

dio_flow includes comprehensive logging features through Dio's built-in LogInterceptor.

Basic Logging #

// Add a log interceptor to see detailed request/response information
ApiClient.dio.interceptors.add(
  LogInterceptor(
    requestBody: true,
    responseBody: true,
    logPrint: (obj) => print('DIO: $obj'),
  ),
);

🔗 Interceptors #

dio_flow comes with several built-in interceptors that are automatically added when you initialize ApiClient.

Adding Custom Interceptors #

// Create a custom interceptor
class CustomInterceptor extends Interceptor {
  @override
  void onRequest(RequestOptions options, RequestInterceptorHandler handler) {
    // Modify the request before it's sent
    options.headers['X-Custom-Header'] = 'CustomValue';
    handler.next(options);
  }
  
  @override
  void onResponse(Response response, ResponseInterceptorHandler handler) {
    // Process the response
    print('Response received with status code: ${response.statusCode}');
    handler.next(response);
  }
  
  @override
  void onError(DioException err, ErrorInterceptorHandler handler) {
    // Handle or transform errors
    print('Error occurred: ${err.message}');
    handler.next(err);
  }
}

// Add the interceptor
ApiClient.dio.interceptors.add(CustomInterceptor());

🧰 Available Utilities #

dio_flow provides several utility classes to help with common tasks.

JsonUtils #

Utilities for working with JSON data.

// Safe JSON parsing with error handling
final jsonString = '{"name": "John", "age": 30}';
final json = JsonUtils.tryParseJson(jsonString);
if (json == null) {
  print('Failed to parse JSON');
} else {
  print('Parsed JSON: $json');
}

// Get nested values with dot notation
final data = {'user': {'profile': {'name': 'John'}}};
final name = JsonUtils.getNestedValue(
  data,                 // The JSON object
  'user.profile.name',  // Path to the desired value
  'N/A',                // Default value if path doesn't exist
);

// Convert map keys to consistent format
final normalized = JsonUtils.normalizeJsonKeys(
  {'First_Name': 'John', 'LAST-NAME': 'Doe'},
  keysToLowerCase: true,   // Convert to lowercase
);
// Returns: {'first_name': 'John', 'last-name': 'Doe'}

DateTimeUtils #

If you need utilities for working with dates and times, you can create a DateTimeUtils class like this:

class DateTimeUtils {
  // Parse date strings safely
  static DateTime? tryParse(String? dateString) {
    if (dateString == null || dateString.isEmpty) {
      return null;
    }
    
    try {
      return DateTime.parse(dateString);
    } catch (e) {
      return null;
    }
  }
  
  // Format a DateTime to a string
  static String format(DateTime date, {String format = 'yyyy-MM-dd'}) {
    // Implementation would depend on a package like intl
    // This is just a placeholder
    return date.toString();
  }
}

PaginationUtils #

Utilities for pagination are included in dio_flow.

// Check if there are more pages available
bool hasMore = PaginationUtils.hasMorePages(
  response,    // SuccessResponseModel from your API
  pageSize,    // Number of items per page
);

🔧 Advanced Usage #

Repository Pattern #

// Combine features in a repository pattern
class UserRepository {
  Future<List<User>> getUsers({int page = 1, bool forceRefresh = false}) async {
    final response = await DioRequestHandler.get(
      'users',
      parameters: {
        'page': page,
        'per_page': 20,
      },
      requestOptions: RequestOptionsModel(
        requireAuth: true,
        cacheResponse: !forceRefresh,
        cacheTTL: Duration(minutes: 15),
        retryCount: 2,
      ),
    );
    
    if (response is SuccessResponseModel) {
      return (response.data as List)
          .map((json) => User.fromJson(json))
          .toList();
    } else {
      final error = response as FailedResponseModel;
      throw ApiException(error.message, error.statusCode);
    }
  }
  
  Future<User?> getUserById(String id) async {
    final response = await DioRequestHandler.get(
      'user',
      pathParameters: {'id': id},
      requestOptions: RequestOptionsModel(
        requireAuth: true,
        cacheResponse: true,
      ),
    );
    
    if (response is SuccessResponseModel) {
      return User.fromJson(response.data);
    } else if ((response as FailedResponseModel).statusCode == 404) {
      return null; // User not found
    } else {
      throw ApiException(response.message, response.statusCode);
    }
  }
  
  Future<User> createUser(User user) async {
    final response = await DioRequestHandler.post(
      'users',
      data: user.toJson(),
      requestOptions: RequestOptionsModel(requireAuth: true),
    );
    
    if (response is SuccessResponseModel) {
      return User.fromJson(response.data);
    } else {
      final error = response as FailedResponseModel;
      throw ApiException(error.message, error.statusCode);
    }
  }
}

❓ Troubleshooting #

Common Issues #

Authentication Token Not Being Sent

// Make sure you've set tokens with the TokenManager
TokenManager.setTokens(
  accessToken: 'your_access_token',
  refreshToken: 'your_refresh_token',
  expiry: DateTime.now().add(Duration(hours: 1)),
);

// Ensure your request requires authentication
final response = await DioRequestHandler.get(
  'protected-endpoint',
  requestOptions: RequestOptionsModel(requireAuth: true), // Important!
);

Initialization Problems

// Make sure you're initializing in the correct order
void main() async {
  WidgetsFlutterBinding.ensureInitialized();
  
  // Step 1: Initialize DioFlowConfig
  DioFlowConfig.initialize(baseUrl: 'https://api.example.com');
  
  // Step 2: Initialize ApiClient
  await ApiClient.initialize();
  
  runApp(MyApp());
}

Handling Certificate Issues

// Disable certificate verification (not recommended for production)
ApiClient.dio.httpClientAdapter = IOHttpClientAdapter(
  createHttpClient: () {
    final client = HttpClient();
    client.badCertificateCallback = (cert, host, port) => true;
    return client;
  },
);
