thread 0.2.2

thread: ^0.2.2 copied to clipboard

Minor BREAKING CHANGES:

The file structure was reorganized, might cause some issues with imports

Added:

• .initialized accessor, to check if the thread is initialized, meaning alive and ready to emit and receive events

Fixed:

• Method .untilAlive() was skipping the future ahead of time, causing null check operators to throw an exception. Issue #1
• Strange behavior with .compute() and .computeWith() methods, Dart wasn't handling the Future correctly and was getting stuck. Issue #2

Fixed:

• Thread .emit() data is optional, updated because of events_emitter dependency

BREAKING CHANGES:

The Thread was partially refactored, and updated to use the new version of the events_emitter dependency. Although it's essentially the same, be aware the way events work might have changed, depending on your case.

Changes: [!]

Added:

• pause and resume methods, to allow pausing and resuming the execution of the thread. This is the same as doing thread.isolate.pause().
• untilAlive method, to wait until the thread is alive
• Thread.Compute and Thread.ComputeWith methods, to create a temporary thread, execute a single task on it and return the result
• lint developer dependency

[!] Changed:

• Thread property eventHandler is private
• Thread property receivePort is internal
• Renamed Thread property emitter to events, it's an easier term to understand
• Renamed Thread property running to alive, it's more accurate to what represents
• Renamed ThreadComputeRequest property callback to computation
• Renamed file schemas.dart to others.dart
• ChangeLog's format
• Improved documentation

Fixed:

• thread.stop() and then thread.start() would cause an exception for reusing the same ReceivePort
• Basic lint errors

[!] Removed:

• keepEmitsWhileNotRunning from Thread class, now it always preserves the emits

Fixed:

• events_emitter now returns a listener instead of a subscription

Changed:

• events_emitter and async_signal dependency versions to lastest

Added:

• shields.io badges in documentation Removed:
• flutter from package dependency

Changed:

• Optional eventEmitter in Thread

Fixed:

• Wrong event type, in some cases

Changed:

• Renamed IsolatedThread class to Thread

Initial release: Thread
