Since version 1.3.4
, this package is an extension of rx_storage package.
Stream
It’s a single-subscription Stream
(i.e. it can only be listened once).
Stream
will emit the value (nullable) or a TypeError
as its first event when it is listened to.
It will automatically emit the new value when the value associated with key was changed successfully
(it will also emit null
when value associated with key was removed
or set to null
).
When value read from Storage has a type other than expected type:
null
, the Stream
will emit null
(this occurred because null
can be cast to any nullable type).Stream
will emit a TypeError
.Can emit two consecutive data events that are equal.
You should use Rx operator like distinct
(more commonly known as distinctUntilChanged
in other Rx implementations)
to create a Stream
where data events are skipped if they are equal to the previous data event.
Key changed |----------K1---K2------K1----K1-----K2---------> time
|
Value stream |-----@----@------------@-----@-----------------> time
| ^
| |
| Listen(key=K1)
|
| @: nullable value or TypeError
In your flutter project, add the dependency to your pubspec.yaml
dependencies:

rx_shared_preferences: <latest_version>
rx_shared_preferences
.
import 'package:rx_shared_preferences/rx_shared_preferences.dart';
SharedPreferences
in a RxSharedPreferences
.
// via constructor.
final rxPrefs = RxSharedPreferences(await SharedPreferences.getInstance()); // use await
final rxPrefs = RxSharedPreferences(SharedPreferences.getInstance()); // await is optional
final rxPrefs = RxSharedPreferences.getInstance(); // default singleton instance
// via extension.
final rxPrefs = (await SharedPreferences.getInstance()).rx; // await is required
NOTE: When using
RxSharedPreferences.getInstance()
and extension(await SharedPreferences.getInstance()).rx
,
to config the logger, you can useRxSharedPreferencesConfigs.logger
setter.
You can pass a logger to the optional parameter of RxSharedPreferences
constructor.
The logger will log messages about operations (such as read, write, …) and stream events.
This package provides two RxSharedPreferencesLogger
s:
RxSharedPreferencesDefaultLogger
. RxSharedPreferencesEmptyLogger
.
final rxPrefs = RxSharedPreferences(
SharedPreferences.getInstance(),
kReleaseMode ? null : RxSharedPreferencesDefaultLogger(),
// disable logging when running in release mode.
);
NOTE: To disable logging when running in release mode, you can pass
null
orconst RxSharedPreferencesEmptyLogger()
toRxSharedPreferences
constructor, or useRxSharedPreferencesConfigs.logger
setter.NOTE: To prevent printing

import 'package:disposebag/disposebag.dart' show DisposeBagConfigs;
void main() {
DisposeBagConfigs.logger = null;
}
Stream
s, transform Stream
s through operators such as map
, flatMap
, etc…Stream
many times, you can use broadcast operators such as share
, shareValue
, publish
, publishValue
, etc…
// Listen
rxPrefs.getStringListStream('KEY_LIST').listen(print); // [*]
// Broadcast stream
rxPrefs.getStringListStream('KEY_LIST').share();
rxPrefs.getStringListStream('KEY_LIST').shareValue();
rxPrefs.getStringListStream('KEY_LIST').asBroadcastStream();
// Transform stream
rxPrefs.getIntStream('KEY_INT')
.map((i) => /* Do something cool */)
.where((i) => /* Filtering */)
...
// must **use same rxPrefs** instance when set value and select stream
await rxPrefs.setStringList('KEY_LIST', ['Cool']); // [*] will print ['Cool']
In the previous example, we re-used the RxSharedPreferences
object rxPrefs
for all operations.
All operations must go through this object in order to correctly notify subscribers.
Basically, you must use the same RxSharedPreferences
instance when set value and select stream.
In a Flutter app, you can:
Create a global RxSharedPreferences
instance.
Use the default singleton instance via RxSharedPreferences.getInstance()
.
Use InheritedWidget
/Provider
to provide a RxSharedPreferences
instance (create it in main
function) for all widgets (recommended).
See example/main.
// An example for wrong usage.
rxPrefs1.getStringListStream('KEY_LIST').listen(print); // [*]
rxPrefs2.setStringList('KEY_LIST', ['Cool']); // [*] will not print anything,
// because rxPrefs1 and rxPrefs2 are different instances.
Stream
s APIs (via extension methods).
Stream<Object?> getObjectStream(String key, [Decoder<Object?>? decoder]);
Stream<bool?> getBoolStream(String key);
Stream<double?> getDoubleStream(String key);
Stream<int?> getIntStream(String key);
Stream<String?> getStringStream(String key);
Stream<List<String>?> getStringListStream(String key);
Stream<Set<String>> getKeysStream();
Future<void> updateBool(String key, Transformer<bool?> transformer);
Future<void> updateDouble(String key, Transformer<double?> transformer);
Future<void> updateInt(String key, Transformer<int?> transformer);
Future<void> updateString(String key, Transformer<String?> transformer);
Future<void> updateStringList(String key, Transformer<List<String>?> transformer);
RxSharedPreferences
implements RxStorage
).
Future<void> update<T extends Object>(String key, Decoder<T?> decoder, Transformer<T?> transformer, Encoder<T?> encoder);
Stream<T?> observe<T extends Object>(String key, Decoder<T?> decoder);
Stream<Map<String, Object?>> observeAll();
Future<void> dispose();
SharedPreferences
RxSharedPreferences
is like to SharedPreferences
, it provides read
, write
functions (via extension methods).
Future<Object?> getObject(String key, [Decoder<Object?>? decoder]);
Future<bool?> getBool(String key);
Future<double?> getDouble(String key);
Future<int?> getInt(String key);
Future<Set<String>> getKeys();
Future<String?> getString(String key);
Future<List<String>?> getStringList(String key);
Future<Map<String, Object?>> reload();
Future<void> setBool(String key, bool? value);
Future<void> setDouble(String key, double? value);
Future<void> setInt(String key, int? value);
Future<void> setString(String key, String? value);
Future<void> setStringList(String key, List<String>? value);
RxSharedPreferences
implements Storage
).
Future<bool> containsKey(String key);
Future<T?> read<T extends Object>(String key, Decoder<T?> decoder);
Future<Map<String, Object?>> readAll();
Future<void> clear();
Future<void> remove(String key);
Future<void> write<T extends Object>(String key, T? value, Encoder<T?> encoder);
You can dispose the RxSharedPreferences
when it is no longer needed.
Just call rxPrefs.dispose()
.
Usually, you call this method on dispose
method of a Flutter State
.
