appcraft_list_loading_flutter

Migration from 1.0.0 → 1.1.0: see MIGRATION.md.

Added

• ACAnchoredDispatcher.reloadOlder / reloadNewer — seed each side of a window around an anchor with a plain ACPage. Each replaces its side's items, takes hasMore from its own page, cancels that side's in-flight load and discards a late answer as stale. A window is composed by the caller out of the two seeds: the request count, their concurrency and the handling of a one-sided failure stay outside the package.
• ACAnchoredDispatcher.isReloadingAny / reloadingAnyListenable — true while either side is being seeded, and deliberately blind to loadOlder / loadNewer, so an initial-load spinner does not flicker on scroll.
• ACAnchoredDispatcher.lastErrorAny / errorAnyListenable — the last error held by either side; stays non-null while at least one side has one, so a success on one side cannot hide a failure on the other.
• ACLoadingDispatcher.reloadingListenable — a reactive channel mirroring isReloading alone. Unlike loadingListenable, which carries the derived isReloading || isLoadingMore, it still fires when a reload starts on top of an in-flight loadMore. Available in ACListDispatcher and ACPageDispatcher too.

Fixed

• A window around an anchor is now expressible at all. loadAround unconditionally cleared the older side, so after an around-load that side was guaranteed empty whatever the loader returned; when the anchor was the last item of a feed the window collapsed to a single element and the history sat beyond the edge.
• lastResultOlder / lastResultNewer are populated right after the window is seeded, because the seeds are real loads. The initial cursors are read from the same members as every subsequent one — lastAround is no longer needed for that.
• retryOlder / retryNewer now repeat a seed as well as an edge load.
• The per-side search strategy is neutralised inside ACAnchoredDispatcher: a non-empty query shorter than the default minLength carried in params would otherwise have turned a seed into a silent clear of the side.

Deprecated

Scheduled for removal in 2.0.0; behaviour is unchanged and existing code keeps compiling.

• ACAnchoredDispatcher.loadAround — use reloadOlder + reloadNewer.
• ACAnchoredPage<T> — use ACPage<T> on each side. It carries a single list and therefore cannot express a window around an anchor; its documentation claimed otherwise and has been corrected.
• lastAround — use lastResultOlder / lastResultNewer.
• isLoadingAround — use isReloadingAny.
• loadingAroundListenable — use reloadingAnyListenable.
• lastErrorAround — use lastErrorAny.
• errorAroundListenable — use errorAnyListenable.

Full Changelog: 0.2.0...0.3.0

Migration from 0.2.0 → 0.3.0: see MIGRATION.md.

• Added: new self-contained ACAnchoredDispatcher<P extends ACParamsMixin, R extends ACPage<T>, T> — a bidirectional, anchor-centred dispatcher for chat/feed pagination, built as a composition of two ACPageDispatchers (one per side), so each side reuses the full loading engine (cancellation, staleness guards, isLoading, lastResult, error channels, retry, mutate). loadAround seeds the window around an anchor (cancelling any previous around-load and both sides); loadOlder / loadNewer grow each side independently via loadMore. Exposes the separate itemsOlder / itemsNewer (for a CustomScrollView(center:) without scroll jumps) and a merged read-only items (reverse(itemsOlder) ++ itemsNewer), fully per-side state (isLoadingOlder / isLoadingNewer / isLoadingAround, hasMoreOlder / hasMoreNewer, lastErrorOlder/Newer/Around with matching error*Listenable and loading*Listenable, lastResultOlder/Newer, lastAround, retryOlder / retryNewer), realtime mutateOlder / mutateNewer, plus cancel and an idempotent dispose. Cursors are managed manually by the consumer (initial ones from lastAround, subsequent ones from lastResult*).
• Added: new around-page contract ACAnchoredPage<T> (mixin with items, hasMoreOlder, hasMoreNewer) — returned by ACAnchoredDispatcher.loadAround, it carries both directional flags at once (unlike the per-side ACPage, whose hasMore means "more on this side"). The per-side loadOlder / loadNewer keep using the existing ACPage model.
• Additive only — a new composition on top of two existing ACPageDispatchers; no existing class is changed and no migration is required.
• Added: new standalone ACDebouncer — an action-neutral debounce utility that collapses a burst of calls into a single trailing-edge invocation (run(void Function()), isActive, cancel(), dispose()), with a non-negative duration (default 300ms; Duration.zero fires on the next tick). It knows nothing about loading or search, so it is reusable for any debounced behaviour (read-tracking, autosave, analytics throttling, ...). dispose() is mandatory — it cancels the pending timer so a deferred action never fires after teardown.
• Added: new ACSearchDebouncer implements ACSearchStrategy — the new default search strategy on both dispatchers (debounce: 300ms, minLength: 3), built by composing an ACDebouncer for timing. Search behaviour (empty / < minLength / equal / zero / debounce gating) is unchanged from the previous default. The ACSearchStrategy contract is kept for custom strategies.
• Deprecated: ACDebouncedSearchStrategy — will be removed in 1.0.0; use ACSearchDebouncer instead (same debounce / minLength parameters and identical behaviour — a straight rename). It keeps working and is still exported; it was moved to lib/src/deprecated/. Additive change — the search behaviour of the dispatchers is unchanged and no migration is required beyond the optional rename.
• Changed: BEHAVIOR CHANGE — a fresh ACListDispatcher / ACPageDispatcher now reports hasMore == false before the first load (was true), so hasMore alone already gates a bottom loader without the extra lastResult != null && hasMore check. As a result, loadMore() before the first reload is a no-op (the hasMore == false guard) — use reload for the first load, or loadMore(force: true) to force it (force still bypasses the hasMore == false guard, now including this initial state). The hasMore computation after a load is unchanged (offset rule / page.hasMore), and the hasMore setter and minLength are unaffected. Migration: if you relied on a fresh dispatcher reporting hasMore == true (e.g. calling loadMore first), switch to reload or loadMore(force: true). Deprecated dispatchers are not affected.
• Added: built-in error state on ACLoadingDispatcher — Object? lastError (the last thrown object, read synchronously) and ValueListenable<Object?> errorListenable (its reactive channel, deduplicated by value and released in dispose). A failing load still propagates the exception exactly as before — the error state is additive, so existing try/catch around reload / loadMore keeps working. The error clears on the next successful load, and changing lastError does not fire notifyListeners().
• Added: Future<void> retry() on ACLoadingDispatcher — repeats the last operation (reload or loadMore) through the public methods with the original params / load and, for loadMore, the original force. A no-op when there is no prior operation or after dispose.
• Added: read-only ACDispatcherOperation<Params, T>? lastOperation on ACLoadingDispatcher for introspecting the captured operation, plus the new public sealed model ACDispatcherOperation with the variants ACReloadOperation and ACLoadMoreOperation (the latter carrying force); both expose the common params and load. An exhaustive switch needs no default clause.
• All of the above live in the base ACLoadingDispatcher, so ACListDispatcher, ACPageDispatcher and third-party subclasses inherit them. Additive only — the exception propagation is unchanged (no breaking changes, no migration).
• Added: optional bool force parameter (default false) on ACLoadingDispatcher.loadMore — force a load past the end of the list by bypassing only the hasMore == false guard, without a full reload and without losing the accumulated list. It is one-shot (hasMore is recomputed after a successful load) and keeps every other guard: force has no effect during an active load or after dispose. Additive only — the default false preserves the previous behaviour, no breaking changes and no migration. Lives in the base ACLoadingDispatcher, so ACListDispatcher, ACPageDispatcher and third-party subclasses inherit it.
• Added: public ValueListenable<bool> loadingListenable on ACLoadingDispatcher — a reactive channel that mirrors the overall isLoading flag, notifying on every false ↔ true transition (deduplicated by value). Drive a spinner reactively via ValueListenableBuilder or an addListener in a Cubit/Bloc, without manual setState and without subscribing to list changes. Released in dispose.
• Added: public synchronous flags bool isReloading and bool isLoadingMore on ACLoadingDispatcher — tell a reload (full-screen spinner) apart from a loadMore (bottom spinner). Exactly one is true during an active load; both are false otherwise. isLoading is now the derived isReloading || isLoadingMore, so its semantics are unchanged.
• All of the above live in the base ACLoadingDispatcher, so ACListDispatcher, ACPageDispatcher and third-party subclasses inherit them. Additive only — isLoading is unchanged and no existing behaviour changes (no breaking changes, no migration; there is no separate listenable for the granular flags).
• Added: new public abstract ACLoadingDispatcher<Params extends ACParamsMixin, T> — the shared loading engine that owns the whole lifecycle (search scheduling, cancellation of a previous load, staleness guards, the isLoading flag and the typed lastResult) behind reload / loadMore / cancel / dispose. It is also a public extension point: subclass it to implement non-standard pagination by providing only the collection state and the hasMore / onLoadSuccess / onLoadRejected hooks.
• Changed: ACListDispatcher and ACPageDispatcher are now thin subclasses of ACLoadingDispatcher — the duplicated loading state machine lives in one place. Internal refactor only: their public API and behaviour are unchanged, no breaking changes and no migration required.
• Added: new self-contained ACPageDispatcher<P extends ACParamsMixin, R extends ACPage<T>, T> for DTO/cursor pagination where the loader returns a page model. It works directly with the model — items and hasMore are read from it — without extending ACDispatcher and without a parser. Full behavioural parity with the deprecated ACCustomDispatcher, plus the mutate method and the hasMore setter (same semantics as on ACListDispatcher).
• Added: new page-model contract ACPage<T> (mixin with items and hasMore) — the renamed ACResult<T>. DTOs mix in ACPage instead.
• Deprecated: the parser architecture and the old model — ACDispatcher, ACCustomDispatcher, ACParser, ACResultParser and ACResult — will be removed in 1.0.0. Use the self-contained ACListDispatcher (plain List) or ACPageDispatcher (ACPage model) instead; migrate DTOs from ACResult to ACPage. All keep working and are still exported; they were moved to lib/src/deprecated/.
• Added: ACListDispatcher.mutate(void Function(List<T> items) update) — the sanctioned way to mutate the accumulated list from outside (realtime append, optimistic update, seed). The callback receives the mutable list; a single notifyListeners() fires on successful completion (batched — many operations, one notification). No-op after dispose; a callback exception propagates without notifying; lastResult is untouched. The items getter stays unmodifiable — direct items.add(...) still throws.
• Added: public setter ACListDispatcher.hasMore — manually control whether loadMore may fetch (seed / end-of-list). Does not notify listeners (parity with the existing "notify only on items change" rule).
• Added: new self-contained ACListDispatcher<P extends ACOffsetParamsMixin, T> for the most common scenario — offset pagination over a plain List<T>. It does the job directly, without extending ACDispatcher and without a parser: item extraction and hasMore (result.length >= limit, or true when limit == null) are built in. Public API is a drop-in match for ACDefaultDispatcher (per-call load, search via ACSearchStrategy, per-call cancelStrategy, List<T>? lastResult, identical notify/cancel/error/stale-result/guard semantics).
• Deprecated: ACDefaultDispatcher and ACDefaultParser — will be removed in 1.0.0; use ACListDispatcher instead. Both keep working and are still exported; they were moved to lib/src/deprecated/.
• No breaking changes — all 0.2.0 public names remain available.

What's Changed

• feat!: чистка публичного API (v0.2.0) by @dmitriyap11 in #3

Full Changelog: 0.1.0...0.2.0

• Added: public R? lastResult getter on ACDispatcher — stores the last successfully loaded R returned by the loader (the same reference, no defensive copy). Updated after every successful reload/loadMore; not reset on minLength rejection, loader/parser exception, or cancel(). Reset to null by dispose(). Useful for cursor pagination and DTO scenarios where the response carries metadata beyond items/hasMore — for example, a server-side nextCursor token that the consumer feeds into the next loadMore call.

• BREAKING CHANGE: all 9 public types renamed — the ListLoading prefix was dropped to keep names short. Search/Cancel strategies kept their names (no ListLoading prefix to begin with). No deprecated typedef aliases — migrate via find-replace.

  Old name	New name
  ACListLoadingDispatcher	ACDispatcher
  ACDefaultListLoadingDispatcher	ACDefaultDispatcher
  ACCustomListLoadingDispatcher	ACCustomDispatcher
  ACListLoadingParamsMixin	ACParamsMixin
  ACOffsetListLoadingParamsMixin	ACOffsetParamsMixin
  ACListLoadingParser	ACParser
  ACDefaultListLoadingParser	ACDefaultParser
  ACResultListLoadingParser	ACResultParser
  ACListLoadingResult	ACResult

• BREAKING CHANGE: flat lib/src/ layout. The intermediate lib/src/list_loading_dispatcher/list_loading_dispatcher.dart barrel was removed; the six implementation files now live directly in lib/src/. The public entry point lib/appcraft_list_loading_flutter.dart exports them directly. Consumers that import via the public entry are unaffected; deep imports through lib/src/list_loading_dispatcher/... must be updated to lib/src/....

• Removed: ACCursorListLoadingParamsMixin — empty marker mixin not read by the dispatcher. Cursor-style params now declare a plain cursor field on the params class with ACParamsMixin. Carry the next-page cursor between calls through dispatcher.lastResult?.<your_field>.

• Migration guide:

  1. Find-replace the 9 type names per the table above.
  2. Drop ACCursorListLoadingParamsMixin from your params classes; declare a plain String? cursor (or any type) field instead.
  3. (Optional) Use dispatcher.lastResult to access the raw last loader response — for cursor pagination or DTO metadata.
  4. If you used deep imports (package:appcraft_list_loading_flutter/src/list_loading_dispatcher/...), either switch to the public entry package:appcraft_list_loading_flutter/appcraft_list_loading_flutter.dart or update paths to the flat package:appcraft_list_loading_flutter/src/....

What's Changed

• feat: открыть публичные классы для extends/implements (v0.1.0) by @dmitriyap11 in #2

Full Changelog: 0.0.1...0.1.0

• BREAKING CHANGE: removed final modifier from public concrete classes, allowing both extends and implements for downstream consumers. Affected classes: ACDefaultListLoadingDispatcher, ACCustomListLoadingDispatcher, ACDefaultListLoadingParser, ACResultListLoadingParser, ACDebouncedSearchStrategy, ACOperationCancelStrategy. For consumers that did not rely on final guarantees, this is a non-breaking relaxation; no migration is required.
• Added "Extending the API" section to README with subclassing example.
• Added inheritance/implementation note to dartdoc of all open classes.
