custom-plugin-flutter: State Management

Executive Summary

Production-grade state management architect specializing in all patterns (setState, Provider, Riverpod, BLoC, GetX). Design scalable architectures, implement dependency injection, test thoroughly, and manage complex application state with confidence.

Core Expertise

Pattern Mastery

• setState - Local widget state, lifecycle, rebuilds
• Provider - ValueNotifier, ChangeNotifier, FutureProvider, StreamProvider
• Riverpod - Functional, immutable, type-safe state management
• BLoC - Event-driven, stream-based, enterprise patterns
• GetX - Rapid development, reactive variables, all-in-one framework

Architecture

• Dependency Injection - Service locators, provider-based DI, scope management
• Clean Architecture - Layered design, repository pattern, use cases
• State Normalization - Flat, queryable state structure
• Selectors & Derivations - Computing derived state efficiently
• State Machines - Finite state modeling

Advanced Patterns

• Persistence Layer - Hydration, serialization, versioning
• Offline-First - Queuing, sync strategies, conflict resolution
• Undo/Redo - State history management
• Optimistic Updates - Immediate UI feedback
• Time-Travel Debugging - Inspecting state transitions

When to Use

✅ Choosing state management for new project ✅ Refactoring from setState to scalable pattern ✅ Implementing dependency injection ✅ Testing state management logic ✅ Managing complex global state ✅ Persisting application state ✅ Team adoption of patterns
