--

This is the second part of our shopping app tutorial in which we’ll be using the flutter_bloc, get_it, injector, etc packages to fetch the data from API calls. Of course, the API calls are mocked but we’ll try to design the functions in such a way that only minimal changes are required to replace them with the real API calls.

Please consider checking the first part if you haven't yet and the tutorial on dependency injection if you need to go through this tutorial without any hassle.

First of all, let's add the dependencies that we’ll be required in this part. Make sure to add the versions as mentioned below or be extra careful as some versions might not be compatible with one another.

dependencies:
...
json_annotation: ^3.1.1
carousel_slider: ^3.0.0
injectable: ^1.0.7
get_it: ^5.0.6
equatable: ^1.2.6
flutter_bloc: ^6.1.2
dev_dependencies:
...
injectable_generator: ^1.0.6
build_runner: ^1.10.6
json_serializable: ^3.5.0

Add an “injectable/config.dart” file for configuring the get_it packages with the following contents:

import 'package:get_it/get_it.dart';
import 'package:injectable/injectable.dart';
final getIt = GetIt.instance;
@injectableInit
GetIt configureDependencies() => $initGetIt(getIt);

Now run “flutter packages pub run build_runner build” to generate the necessary missing files. Then import the generated import in “injectable/config.dart” and add the following content in the “main.dart” file.

...
void main() {
WidgetsFlutterBinding.ensureInitialized();
configureDependencies();
runApp(MyApp());
}
...

Next, we’ll be working on the mock data providers for fetching different types of product lists. Create the “ui/common/item/data/provider/product_item_provider.dart” file with the following contents.

import 'package:flutter_shopping_app/ui/common/item/data/model/product_item.dart';
import 'package:flutter_shopping_app/util/mock_util.dart';
import 'package:injectable/injectable.dart';

abstract class ProductItemProvider{
Future<List<ProductItem>> getTrendingProducts();
Future<List<ProductItem>> getTopSellingProducts();
Future<List<ProductItem>> getFeaturedProducts();
}

@Named("mock")
@Singleton(as: ProductItemProvider)
class MockProductItemProvider implements ProductItemProvider {
const MockProductItemProvider();

@override
Future<List<ProductItem>> getTrendingProducts() async{
//add some delay to give the feel of api call
await Future.delayed(Duration(seconds: 3));
return Future.value(MockUtil.getTrendingItems());
}

@override
Future<List<ProductItem>> getFeaturedProducts() async{
//add some delay to give the feel of api call
await Future.delayed(Duration(seconds: 3));
return Future.value(MockUtil.getFeaturedItems());
}

@override
Future<List<ProductItem>> getTopSellingProducts() async{
//add some delay to give the feel of api call
await Future.delayed(Duration(seconds: 3));
return Future.value(MockUtil.getTopSellingItems());
}

}

@Singleton(as: ProductItemProvider)
class RealProductItemProvider implements ProductItemProvider {
const RealProductItemProvider();

@override
Future<List<ProductItem>> getTrendingProducts() async{
//add some delay to give the feel of api call
await Future.delayed(Duration(seconds: 3));
return Future.value(MockUtil.getTrendingItems());
}

@override
Future<List<ProductItem>> getFeaturedProducts() async{
//add some delay to give the feel of api call
await Future.delayed(Duration(seconds: 3));
return Future.value(MockUtil.getFeaturedItems());
}

@override
Future<List<ProductItem>> getTopSellingProducts() async{
//add some delay to give the feel of api call
await Future.delayed(Duration(seconds: 3));
return Future.value(MockUtil.getTopSellingItems());
}

}

It consists of two different implementations one for mock data and another for the real API calls such that we can easily switch between them when required.

Add a “constant/enum.dart” file with the following contents to represent different types of product lists.

import 'package:flutter/cupertino.dart';
import 'package:flutter/material.dart';

enum ITEM_TYPE{
featured,
topSelling,
trending
}

Create the “ui/common/item/data/repository/product_item_repository.dart” file with the following contents.

import 'package:flutter_shopping_app/constant/enum.dart';
import 'package:flutter_shopping_app/ui/common/item/data/model/product_item.dart';
import 'package:flutter_shopping_app/ui/common/item/data/provider/product_item_provider.dart';
import 'package:injectable/injectable.dart';

@injectable
class ProductItemRepository {
final ProductItemProvider _provider;

const ProductItemRepository({@Named("mock") ProductItemProvider provider})
: _provider = provider;

Future<List<ProductItem>> getProductList({ITEM_TYPE type}) async {
return type == ITEM_TYPE.featured
? _provider.getFeaturedProducts()
: type == ITEM_TYPE.top_selling
? _provider.getTopSellingProducts()
: type == ITEM_TYPE.trending
? _provider.getTrendingProducts()
: Future.value(null);
}
}

Here @Named(“mock”) ProductItemProvider provider will provide mocked implementation while the ProductItemProvider provider will inject the other one without the named annotation. Now run the command “fvm flutter packages pub run build_runner build” to generate the necessary changes.

Note: We must run the command “fvm flutter packages pub run build_runner build” whenever we make changes to the injector configurations or add new data providers with injectable annotations. Add the additional flag — delete-conflicting-outputs if you run into the error. So the full code becomes “fvm flutter packages pub run build_runner build — delete-conflicting-outputs”

Now we’ll be fetching the product list data from the state management technique — flutter_bloc.

Create the “ui/common/item/bloc/product_list_cubit.dart” file with the following contents.

import 'package:equatable/equatable.dart';
import 'package:flutter/foundation.dart';
import 'package:flutter_bloc/flutter_bloc.dart';
import 'package:flutter_shopping_app/constant/enum.dart';
import 'package:flutter_shopping_app/ui/common/item/data/model/product_item.dart';
import 'package:flutter_shopping_app/ui/common/item/data/repository/product_item_repository.dart';
import 'package:injectable/injectable.dart';

part 'product_item_state.dart';

@injectable
class ProductItemCubit extends Cubit<ProductItemState> {
final ProductItemRepository _productRepository;

ProductItemCubit(ProductItemRepository repository,
{@factoryParam ProductItem product})
: _productRepository = repository,
super(ProductItemState.initial());

void loadProducts({ITEM_TYPE type}) async {
try {
emit(state.update(loading: true));

List<ProductItem> products =
await _productRepository.getProductList(type: type);

emit(state.update(loading: false, items: products, init: true));
} catch (e) {
final errorMsg = e.toString();
emit(state.update(loading: false, error: errorMsg));
}
}
}

And also the state file “ui/common/item/bloc/product_list_state.dart” with the following contents:

part of 'product_item_cubit.dart';

@immutable
class ProductItemState extends Equatable {
final bool loading;
final bool init;
final String error;

final List<ProductItem> items;

bool get hasError => error != null && error.isNotEmpty;

bool get hasData => init && items.isNotEmpty;

bool get hasNoData => init && items.isEmpty;

int get size => items?.length ?? 0;

const ProductItemState({this.loading, this.error, this.init, this.items});

@override
List<Object> get props => [loading, error, init, error];

factory ProductItemState.initial({loading}) {
return ProductItemState(
loading: loading ?? true, error: "", init: false, items: []);
}

ProductItemState update({bool loading, bool init, items, error}) {
return ProductItemState(
loading: loading ?? this.loading,
items: items ?? this.items,
init: init ?? this.init,
error: error ?? "",
);
}

@override
String toString() =>
'ProductItemState { loading: $loading, error: $error, init: $init }';
}

We have different variables for storing different states: loading state, error state, initialized state, and also state to store the fetched items.

Dont forget to run “fvm flutter packages pub run build_runner build” command since we have added new instance with @injectable annotation.

Then make changes to the “item_list.dart” file as:

import 'package:flutter/cupertino.dart';
import 'package:flutter/material.dart';
import 'package:flutter_bloc/flutter_bloc.dart';
import 'package:flutter_shopping_app/constant/enum.dart';
import 'package:flutter_shopping_app/ui/common/item/bloc/product_item_cubit.dart';
import 'package:flutter_shopping_app/ui/common/item/item_card.dart';
import 'package:get_it/get_it.dart';

class ItemList extends StatelessWidget {
final ITEM_TYPE type;
final String title;
final double topMargin;

const ItemList(this.type, {Key key, this.title: "", this.topMargin: 10})
: super(key: key);

_seeAll() {}

@override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
return Column(
children: [
Padding(
padding: EdgeInsets.fromLTRB(10, topMargin, 10, 4),
child: Row(
mainAxisAlignment: MainAxisAlignment.spaceBetween,
children: [
Text(
title,
style: TextStyle(fontSize: 12, fontWeight: FontWeight.bold),
),
InkWell(
child: Text("see all"),
onTap: _seeAll,
),
],
),
),
BlocProvider<ProductItemCubit>(
create: (context) =>
GetIt.instance.get<ProductItemCubit>()..loadProducts(type: type),
child: SizedBox(
height: 158,
child: BlocBuilder<ProductItemCubit, ProductItemState>(
builder: (context, state) {
return ListView.builder(
itemBuilder: (context, index) => ItemCard(
item: state.items[index],
),
itemCount: state.items.length,
scrollDirection: Axis.horizontal,
);
}),
),
),
],
);
}
}

Did you feel that something is missing in this implementation? Yes, you got it right, widgets show empty elements when in the loading state. Similarly, we also have to handle the error state where the user should get the option to retry and also provide the user with the appropriate error message.

We’ll design two cards one for indicating the loading state and another for showing error cases where the users will also have the option to retry.

We’ll also design the card for showing when there will be no items in the particular list.

Create the file “ui/common/item/item_loader.dart” with the following contents:

import 'package:flutter/cupertino.dart';
import 'package:flutter/material.dart';
import 'package:flutter_bloc/flutter_bloc.dart';
import 'package:flutter_shopping_app/constant/color.dart';
import 'package:flutter_shopping_app/constant/enum.dart';
import 'package:flutter_shopping_app/ui/common/item/bloc/product_item_cubit.dart';
import 'package:flutter_shopping_app/ui/common/item/item_card.dart';
import 'package:get_it/get_it.dart';

class ItemLoaderCard extends StatelessWidget {
final String title;
final double topMargin;
final String errorMsg;
final VoidCallback retry;

bool get _hasError => errorMsg != null && errorMsg.isNotEmpty;

const ItemLoaderCard(
{Key key, this.title: "", this.topMargin: 10, this.errorMsg, this.retry})
: super(key: key);

@override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
return Container(
width: 120,
padding: const EdgeInsets.all(10),
margin: const EdgeInsets.symmetric(horizontal: 6, vertical: 2),
decoration: BoxDecoration(boxShadow: [
BoxShadow(
color: Colors.grey.withOpacity(0.5),
offset: Offset(0, 1), // changes position of shadow
),
], borderRadius: BorderRadius.circular(10), color: Colors.white),
child: _hasError ? _errorContainer() : _loaderContainer(),
);
}

_loaderContainer() {
return Column(
children: [
Container(
height: 100,
color: ThemeTextColorLightest,
),
SizedBox(
height: 4,
),
Container(
height: 14,
color: ThemeTextColorLightest,
),
SizedBox(
height: 4,
),
Row(
children: [
Expanded(
child: Container(
height: 12,
color: ThemeTextColorLightest,
),
),
SizedBox(
width: 4,
),
Expanded(
child: Container(
height: 12,
color: ThemeTextColorLightest,
),
),
],
)
],
);
}

_errorContainer() {
return Column(
mainAxisAlignment: MainAxisAlignment.spaceAround,
children: [
Text(
errorMsg,
overflow: TextOverflow.ellipsis,
style: TextStyle(fontSize: 12, color: Colors.red),
),
TextButton(
style: ButtonStyle(
foregroundColor: MaterialStateProperty.all<Color>(Colors.white),
backgroundColor: MaterialStateProperty.all<Color>(Colors.red)),
onPressed: retry,
child: Text('Retry'),
)
],
);
}
}

class EmptyCard extends StatelessWidget {
final String message;
final EdgeInsets margin;

const EmptyCard(
{Key key,
this.message,
this.margin: const EdgeInsets.symmetric(horizontal: 10)})
: super(key: key);

@override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
return Container(
padding: const EdgeInsets.all(10),
alignment: Alignment.center,
margin: margin,
decoration: BoxDecoration(
borderRadius: BorderRadius.circular(10),
border: Border.all(
color: ThemeTextColorLighter,
width: 1,
)),
child: Row(
mainAxisAlignment: MainAxisAlignment.spaceAround,
children: [
Icon(Icons.clear),
SizedBox(
width: 10,
),
Expanded(child: Text(message ?? "No data",))
],
));
}
}

And make the changes in “ui/common/item/item_list.dart” to implement the cards we have designed above.

import 'package:flutter/cupertino.dart';
import 'package:flutter/material.dart';
import 'package:flutter_bloc/flutter_bloc.dart';
import 'package:flutter_shopping_app/constant/enum.dart';
import 'package:flutter_shopping_app/ui/common/item/bloc/product_item_cubit.dart';
import 'package:flutter_shopping_app/ui/common/item/item_card.dart';
import 'package:flutter_shopping_app/ui/common/item/item_loader.dart';
import 'package:get_it/get_it.dart';

class ItemList extends StatelessWidget {
final ITEM_TYPE type;
final String title;
final double topMargin;

const ItemList(this.type, {Key key, this.title: "", this.topMargin: 10})
: super(key: key);

_seeAll() {}

@override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
return Column(
children: [
Padding(
padding: EdgeInsets.fromLTRB(10, topMargin, 10, 4),
child: Row(
mainAxisAlignment: MainAxisAlignment.spaceBetween,
children: [
Text(
title,
style: TextStyle(fontSize: 12, fontWeight: FontWeight.bold),
),
InkWell(
child: Text("see all"),
onTap: _seeAll,
),
],
),
),
BlocProvider<ProductItemCubit>(
create: (context) =>
GetIt.instance.get<ProductItemCubit>()..loadProducts(type: type),
child: SizedBox(
height: 158,
child: BlocBuilder<ProductItemCubit, ProductItemState>(
builder: (context, state) {
if (state.hasNoData) return EmptyCard();
return ListView.builder(
itemBuilder: (context, index) => index >= state.items.length
? ItemLoaderCard(
errorMsg: state.error,
retry: () => _retry(context),
)
: ItemCard(
item: state.items[index],
),
itemCount: !state.init
? 4
: state.hasError
? state.items.length + 1
: state.loading
? state.items.length + 2
: state.items.length,
scrollDirection: Axis.horizontal,
);
}),
),
),
],
);
}

_retry(BuildContext context) {
context.read<ProductItemCubit>().loadProducts(type: type);
}
}

Next, we’ll work on the new page which will show the details of the item being clicked from where the user also will be able to add that particular item to their cart.

Add some fields(description, rating, and id) in the product_item model:

...
final double rating;
final String description;
final int id;
final List<String> benefits;

bool get hasBenefits => benefits.isNotEmpty;
ProductItem({
this.name,
this.rating,
this.description,
this.id,
this.imageUrl,
this.currency,
this.currencyType: "\$",
this.discount,
this.sellingUnit,
});
...

Then run the command “fvm flutter packages pub run build_runner build — delete-conflicting-outputs”

Change the following in the MockUtil class:

Add the following code for a custom button in the file “lib/ui/common/form/custom_button.dart”:

import 'package:flutter/cupertino.dart';
import 'package:flutter/material.dart';
import 'package:flutter_shopping_app/constant/color.dart';

class CustomButton extends StatelessWidget {
final String label;
final Widget child;
final EdgeInsets padding;
final Color backgroundColor;
final Color disabledColor;
final VoidCallback onPressed;
final bool disabled;

bool get _disabled => disabled || onPressed == null;

const CustomButton(
{Key key,
this.label,
this.onPressed,
this.disabled: false,
this.child,
this.backgroundColor: ThemeColor,
this.disabledColor: ThemeTextColorLightest,
this.padding: const EdgeInsets.all(20)})
: super(key: key);

@override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
return TextButton(
style: TextButton.styleFrom(
primary: Colors.white,
// minimumSize: Size(88, 44),
padding: padding,
shape: const RoundedRectangleBorder(
borderRadius: BorderRadius.all(Radius.circular(20.0)),
),
backgroundColor: _disabled ? disabledColor : backgroundColor,
),
onPressed: _disabled ? null : onPressed,
child: child ??
Text(
label ?? "",
style: TextStyle(color: Colors.white),

}
}

Also, add code for the incrementer widget in the file “lib/ui/common/incrementer.dart”.

import 'dart:math';

import 'package:flutter/cupertino.dart';
import 'package:flutter/material.dart';
import 'package:flutter_shopping_app/constant/color.dart';

class Incrementer extends StatelessWidget {
const Incrementer({
Key key,
this.setIncrementer,
this.value: 1,
this.maxVal: 50,
this.minVal: 1,
}) : super(key: key);

final int minVal;
final int maxVal;
final int value;
final Function(int) setIncrementer;

@override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
return Container(
decoration: BoxDecoration(
border: Border.all(width: 1, color: ThemeTextColorLighter),
borderRadius: BorderRadius.circular(20)),
child: Row(
mainAxisSize: MainAxisSize.min,
children: <Widget>[
_incrementerWidget(add: false),
SizedBox(
width: 42,
child: Text(
this.value.toString(),
textAlign: TextAlign.center,
style: TextStyle(fontSize: 16),
)),
_incrementerWidget()
],
),
);
}

Widget _incrementerWidget({add: true}) {
return IconButton(
onPressed: () {
if (((add && value + 1 <= maxVal) || (!add && value - 1 >= minVal)) &&
setIncrementer != null)
setIncrementer(
add ? min(value + 1, maxVal) : max(value - 1, minVal));
},
color: Colors.black,
icon: Icon(add ? Icons.add : Icons.remove));
}
}

Add an entry flutter_rating_bar: ^4.0.0 in the dependency section in pubspec.yaml.

Create the file “lib/ui/common/item/detail/item_detail.dart” which is the new page to show the details of the selected product with the following contents.

import 'dart:math';
import 'package:flutter/cupertino.dart';

import 'package:flutter_shopping_app/ui/common/item/data/model/product_item.dart';

class ItemDetail extends StatefulWidget {
final ProductItem item;

const ItemDetail(this.item, {Key key}) : super(key: key);

@override

Widget _addToCartWidget() {
return Container(

_goBack(BuildContext context) {
Navigator.of(context).pop();
}

_updateCartCount(int count) {
setState(() {
_noOfItems = count;
});
}
}

Finally, add the trigger in the file “lib/ui/common/item/item_card.dart” to navigate the clicked item's details page.

...
const ItemCard({Key key, this.item}) : super(key: key);

_goToDetailPage(context) {
Navigator.push(
context,
MaterialPageRoute(builder: (context) => ItemDetail(item)),
);
}

@override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
return InkWell(
onTap: () => _goToDetailPage(context),
hoverColor: Colors.transparent,
child: Container(
width: 120,
...

The figure above shows the final form of our application for the second part of the tutorial. Here, when the user clicks the item card, the corresponding details are shown on another page where they also can add the products to their cart or favorites.

Adding the items to the cart or favorites requires the users to be logged in which is the next thing we’ll be working on. In the next part, we will try to develop the authentication module where the user will be able to log in, so please check it out. But before that, you can also check another tutorial on Authentication, giving you a clear idea about what we’re going to do in our next tutorial.
