Key benefits

Get to grips with popular approaches for managing your Flutter application state
Think declaratively in order to decide on the most fitting approach for different applications
Learn to implement state management solutions by building a popular use case in the form of a shopping cart app

Description

Flutter is a cross-platform user interface (UI) toolkit that enables developers to create beautiful native applications for mobile, desktop, and the web with a single codebase. State management in Flutter is one of the most crucial and complex topics within Flutter, with a wide array of approaches available that can make it easy to get lost due to information overload. Managing State in Flutter Pragmatically is a definitive guide to starting out with Flutter and learning about state management, helping developers with some experience of state management to choose the most appropriate solutions and techniques to use. The book takes a hands-on approach and begins by covering the basics of Flutter state management before exploring how to build and manipulate a shopping cart app using popular approaches such as BLoC/Cubit, Provider, MobX, and Riverpod. Throughout the book, you'll also learn how to adopt approaches from React such as Redux and all its types. By the end of this Flutter book, you'll have gained a holistic view of all the state management approaches in Flutter, and learned which approach is the best solution for managing state in your app development journey.

Who is this book for?

This book is for developers who have already started with their Flutter journey and are now looking to learn optimal state management approaches for app development. The book will also help less experienced Flutter engineers to find the best state management solution to fit their app, along with Flutter engineers who want to learn which state management approach should be taken under what circumstances.

Customs duty are charges levied on goods when they cross international borders. It is a tax that is imposed on imported goods. These duties are charged by special authorities and bodies created by local governments and are meant to protect local industries, economies, and businesses.

The orders shipped to the countries that are listed under EU27 will not bear custom charges. They are paid by Packt as part of the order.

List of EU27 countries: www.gov.uk/eu-eea:

A custom duty or localized taxes may be applicable on the shipment and would be charged by the recipient country outside of the EU27 which should be paid by the customer and these duties are not included in the shipping charges been charged on the order.

How do I know my custom duty charges?

The amount of duty payable varies greatly depending on the imported goods, the country of origin and several other factors like the total invoice amount or dimensions like weight, and other such criteria applicable in your country.

For example:

Whereas if you live in Turkey, and the declared value of your ordered items is over € 22, for you to receive a package, you will have to pay additional import tax of 18% which will be € 3.96 to the courier service.

4.5 Stars - I've been using Flutter for 1+ years now and wanted to learn about other state management approaches. The introduction to the various packages was excellent. Without a significant time effort, I was able to understand the basic differences in the techniques. Reviewing these sections later as a reference was also going to work pretty well.Unfortunately, the depth of this coverage here and later in the examples was still a bit too basic for the real world. This is a bit disappointing as the book is covering this very topic. I was very happy to see the content towards the end about how to make choices between which state management to use. It was helpful, but a bit too casual and too light for my preferences. It was a very short section which was disappointing as its the climax of the book.I would suggest this book if you wanted to gain a fair amount of technical understanding of each of the state management approaches. Or, if you are unsure of which approach to use, this will start you along the way. However, once you make that decision, you will mostly likely need another state management book or reference to show you how best to go about it.

I enjoyed taking the time to consider the pros and cons of the various state management approaches available to flutter. We all have our preferred state management techniques but it's also good to zoom out and look at the others optiins from time to time. I enjoyed this book

Kit G. Apr 16, 2022

Who I would recommend this book to:- tech team leads and CTOs who are researching the current state of mobile development looking for the framework suited for their needs: for them the book will cover how Flutter is beneficial for rapid development and might give a few hints how to speed up adoption of Flutter by developers from other backgrounds, such as React.- intermediate Flutter developers who are still honing their front-end skills: for them the book should eliminate a few of “I don’t know what I don’t know” traps when it comes to Flutter and help them discover approaches they did not know existed.Who I would not recommend this book to:- Flutter beginners or for that matter inexperienced programmers in general, since the book does not cover bases nor does it teach Dart, the programming foundation of Flutter.What I liked about the book:- variety of approaches to the subject matter covered without prejudice or bias to any specific one- competent code samples- material is concise and easy to coverWhat I thought could be better:- code samples and use cases are a little detached from real coding practice. Here’s an example: almost every app these days has some form of authentication and, accordingly, has to manage its authentication state. It would be so tremendously useful to the reader if the book gave an example of mobile architecture where some sort of user model, while fully separated from the UI, can be easily and effectively accessed from any point in a multi-page application for the purpose of practical state management. I did not find such examples.- For whatever reason, the book does not cover Flutter’s native ValueNotifiers/ValueListenableBuilders, even though it is one of the most effective approaches to state management.About me:A dev team lead and simply a developer with a fair bit of experience. Have been a Flutter fan since its version 0.4. Other skills include: relational databases, API development, DevOps/IaC

The text is simple and easy to comprehend. I've only begun reading the book and I must say that my initial impressions have been good. The fact that the author has managed to cover a wide range of popular state management techniques, keeping it clear and condensed, is a testament to his skills. Great material for beginners and those who want to brush up on their knowledge. I would, however, like to point out that the Bloc library referenced in the book is slightly outdated, the newer version is much more intuitive and unlike it's arcane predecessor, it doesn't rely on the usage of the asynchronous generator, mapEventToState. I would have also loved to see examples using BlocListeners and BlocConsumers.

The book is very comprehensive and teaches state management techniques in Flutter with application examples. Even though the book is very detailed, its as well basic, so would recommend it only for the ones who want to learn flutter and are in the beginner stage.
