In this blog, we will learn how to Implement Redux state management in Flutter.

Introduction:-
Redux is a state management library based on Flux architecture for managing an application’s state consistently and centrally.
Implementation:-
First we need to create a new flutter project and add the following dependencies in the pubspec.yaml file.
|
1 2 3 4 5 |
dependencies: flutter: sdk: flutter flutter_redux: ^0.10.0 |
Now, run the command “flutter pub get” to add the dependencies.
Add the following package to your class.
|
1 |
import 'package:flutter_redux/flutter_redux.dart'; |
Create the State:
The state of an application refers to its dynamic data, including user information, API responses, and UI state.
|
1 2 3 4 5 |
class ReduxAppState { int counter; ReduxAppState({this.counter = 0}); } |
Create the Actions:
The view layer dispatches actions to modify the application’s state. They have a type and can also include payload data.
enum Actions { incrementCounter, decrementCounter }
Create the Reducer:
The reducer defines how the state should be updated based on the action type.
|
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 |
ReduxAppState appReducer(ReduxAppState state, dynamic action) { if (action == Actions.incrementCounter) { return ReduxAppState(counter: state.counter + 1); } else if (action == Actions.decrementCounter) { return ReduxAppState(counter: state.counter - 1); } return state; } |
Create the Store:
The reducer function is passed to the store, and it serves as the central location for the application to store its state.
|
1 2 3 4 |
final store = Store<ReduxAppState>( appReducer, initialState: ReduxAppState(), ); |
Create the StoreProvider:
After creating the store, you can make it accessible to the rest of the application using the StoreProvider widget.
To achieve this, you need to pass the store and a child widget as arguments to the StoreProvider widget. Once done, the store will be available to the child widget and all of its descendants.
|
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 |
class MyApp extends StatelessWidget { @override Widget build(BuildContext context) { return StoreProvider<AppState>( store: store, child: Scaffold(), ); } } |
Create the StoreBuilder:
The StoreBuilder widget takes a builder function as an argument. The builder function is called whenever the state of the store changes, and it returns the updated UI.
|
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 |
class ReduxStateManagement extends StatelessWidget { const ReduxStateManagement({super.key}); @override Widget build(BuildContext context) { return StoreProvider<ReduxAppState>( store: store, child: Scaffold( body: StoreBuilder<ReduxAppState>( builder: (context, store) { return .......; }, ), ), ); } } |
