🐛 Bug Fixes #

Double Dependency Injection Fixed

• Fixed critical bug: Double dependency injection in ReactiveState and ReactiveStateWidget
  • Problem: Controllers were being registered twice in the dependency injection system
  • Impact: Could cause memory leaks and unexpected behavior with controller lifecycle
  • Solution: Ensured single registration per controller instance
  • Files affected: lib/views/reactive_state.dart, lib/views/reactive_state_widget.dart

✨ New Features #

lazyBind Support in ReactiveStateWidget

• NEW: lazyBind parameter added to ReactiveStateWidget
  • Controls when the controller is instantiated
  • lazyBind: true (default) - Controller created lazily when first accessed
  • lazyBind: false - Controller created immediately when widget is initialized
  • Consistent with BindController API for unified experience

Example:

// Lazy binding (default) - controller created on first access
class MyPage extends ReactiveStateWidget<MyController> {
  const MyPage({super.key});
  
  @override
  MyController createController() => MyController();
  
  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return Text(controller.title); // Controller created here
  }
}

// Immediate binding - controller created in initState
class MyPage extends ReactiveStateWidget<MyController> {
  const MyPage({super.key, super.lazyBind = false});
  
  @override
  MyController createController() => MyController();
  
  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return Text(controller.title); // Controller already exists
  }
}

🔧 Improvements #

• Enhanced reliability: Fixed potential memory leaks from double injection
• Better lifecycle management: Controllers properly registered once
• API consistency: lazyBind now available across all binding mechanisms
• Improved flexibility: More control over controller initialization timing

⚠️ Breaking Changes #

None - All changes are backward compatible

🔄 Migration Guide #

No migration needed - Existing code continues to work without changes. The lazyBind parameter is optional and defaults to true (lazy binding).

✨ New Features #

ReactiveBuilder & MultiReactiveBuilder Widgets

• NEW: ReactiveBuilder<T> widget for observing single reactive variables

  • Cleaner API with reactiv parameter instead of listenable
  • Builder receives unwrapped value directly: (context, value)
  • Optional listener parameter for side effects
  • Works with both nullable and non-nullable types
  • NEW: buildWhen - Conditional rebuild based on value changes
  • NEW: listenWhen - Conditional listener invocation

• NEW: MultiReactiveBuilder widget for observing multiple reactive variables

  • Replaces Observer2, Observer3, Observer4, and ObserverN
  • reactives parameter takes a list of reactive variables
  • Rebuilds when ANY reactive variable changes
  • Cleaner than nested builders
  • NEW: buildWhen - Conditional rebuild based on state
  • NEW: listenWhen - Conditional listener invocation

Example:

// Single reactive with conditional rebuild
ReactiveBuilder<int>(
  reactiv: controller.count,
  builder: (context, count) => Text('Count: $count'),
  listener: (count) => debugPrint('Changed: $count'),
  buildWhen: (prev, current) => current % 2 == 0,  // Only rebuild on even
  listenWhen: (prev, current) => current > 10,      // Only listen when > 10
)

// Multiple reactives with conditions
MultiReactiveBuilder(
  reactives: [name, age, city],
  builder: (context) => Text('${name.value}, ${age.value}, ${city.value}'),
  listener: () => debugPrint('User info changed'),
  buildWhen: () => age.value >= 18,           // Only rebuild when adult
  listenWhen: () => name.value.isNotEmpty,    // Only listen when name set
)

⚠️ Deprecations #

Observer Widget Family Deprecated

• DEPRECATED: Observer<T> - Use ReactiveBuilder<T> instead
• DEPRECATED: Observer2<A, B> - Use MultiReactiveBuilder instead
• DEPRECATED: Observer3<A, B, C> - Use MultiReactiveBuilder instead
• DEPRECATED: Observer4<A, B, C, D> - Use MultiReactiveBuilder instead
• DEPRECATED: ObserverN - Use MultiReactiveBuilder instead

Note: Deprecated widgets will continue to work but show warnings. They will be removed in v2.0.0.

📚 Documentation #

• NEW: Migration Guide - Complete guide for migrating from Observer to ReactiveBuilder
• UPDATED: All documentation updated to use ReactiveBuilder
  • README.md - Updated all examples and added nullable types documentation
  • GETTING_STARTED.md - Updated quick start
  • ADVANCED.md - Updated advanced patterns
  • API_REFERENCE.md - Updated API documentation
  • Example app - New ReactiveBuilder examples

✅ Testing #

• NEW: 13 comprehensive tests for ReactiveBuilder and MultiReactiveBuilder
• PASSING: All 113 tests passing
• NEW: Tests for buildWhen and listenWhen functionality
• COVERAGE: No breaking changes to existing functionality

🔄 Migration Path #

Users can migrate gradually:

1. Observer widgets continue to work (with deprecation warnings)
2. New code should use ReactiveBuilder/MultiReactiveBuilder
3. See Migration Guide for step-by-step instructions
4. Observer widgets will be removed in v2.0.0

🐛 Bug Fixes #

Critical: Concurrent Modification Exception Fixed

• Fixed critical bug: Concurrent modification during listener iteration
  • Problem: When a listener removed itself during callback execution (e.g., once() callback), it caused a concurrent modification exception
  • Impact: Could crash the app when using once() or when listeners self-remove during notification
  • Solution: Copy listener list before iteration in both value setter and refresh() method
  • Files affected: lib/state_management/reactive_types/base/reactive.dart

Example that previously crashed:

final counter = Reactive<int>(0);
counter.once((value) => print(value)); // Would throw ConcurrentModificationException
counter.value = 1; // ✅ Now works perfectly

✨ Added #

BindController Enhancement - Lazy Binding Option

• lazyBind parameter: New optional parameter in BindController for controlling controller instantiation timing
  • lazyBind: true (default) - Controller is created lazily when first accessed
  • lazyBind: false - Controller is created immediately when BindController widget is initialized

Use Cases:

• Set lazyBind: false for controllers that need immediate initialization (e.g., listening to streams, starting background tasks)
• Keep lazyBind: true (default) for memory efficiency and performance optimization

Example:

// Lazy binding (default) - created when first accessed
BindController(
  controller: () => MyController(),
  lazyBind: true,  // Optional, defaults to true
  child: MyWidget(),
)

// Immediate binding - created at widget initialization
BindController(
  controller: () => StreamController(),
  lazyBind: false,  // Created immediately
  autoDispose: true,
  child: MyWidget(),
)

Benefits:

• Better control over controller lifecycle
• Improved performance for controllers that must initialize early
• Flexibility to choose between lazy and eager initialization
• Memory optimization with default lazy behavior

🔄 Changed #

• BindController now supports lazyBind parameter (defaults to true for backward compatibility)

⚠️ Deprecated #

None

🚫 Breaking Changes #

None! The lazyBind parameter defaults to true, maintaining 100% backward compatibility with v1.0.1.
