^{Inspired by react-use.}

A collection of Flutter Hooks inspired by React's react-use library. This monorepo contains multiple packages providing different categories of hooks for Flutter development.

📦 Packages

Package	Description	Version
flutter_use	Core hooks library with essential utilities
flutter_use_audio	Audio playback and control hooks
flutter_use_battery	Battery state monitoring hooks
flutter_use_geolocation	Location and permission hooks
flutter_use_network_state	Network connectivity hooks
flutter_use_sensors	Device sensors hooks
flutter_use_video	Video playbook hooks

🚀 Installation

For the core package:

flutter pub add flutter_use

For specialized packages:

flutter pub add flutter_use_audio    # Audio hooks
flutter pub add flutter_use_battery  # Battery hooks
# ... and so on

📚 Hooks by Category

📱 Mobile-first Hooks

Core package: flutter_use

• useAsync — manages async operations with loading, data, and error states.
• useDebounceFn — debounces function calls for better performance.
• useInfiniteScroll — implements infinite scrolling with automatic loading.
• useForm — comprehensive form state management with validation.
• useKeyboard — tracks keyboard visibility and manages layouts (mobile only).

• useCopyToClipboard — copies text to clipboard.

♻️ Lifecycle Management

Core package: flutter_use

• useEffectOnce — a modified useEffect hook that only runs once.
• useLifecycles — calls mount and unmount callbacks.
• useMount — calls mount callbacks.
• useUnmount — calls unmount callbacks.
• useUpdateEffect — run an effect only on updates.
• useCustomCompareEffect — run an effect depending on deep comparison of its dependencies.
• useFirstMountState — check if current build is first.
• useBuildsCount — count component builds.

🎨 Development & Debugging

Core package: flutter_use

• useLogger — logs in console as component goes through life-cycles.

📱 Device Sensors

Package: flutter_use_sensors

• useAccelerometer, useUserAccelerometer, useGyroscope, and useMagnetometer — tracks accelerometer, gyroscope, and magnetometer sensors.

Core package: flutter_use

• useOrientation — tracks state of device's screen orientation.
• useOrientationFn — calls given function when screen orientation changes.

🔋 Device Information

Package: flutter_use_battery

• useBattery — tracks device battery state.

Package: flutter_use_geolocation

• useGeolocation — tracks geo location and permission state of user's device.

Package: flutter_use_network_state

• useNetworkState — tracks the state of apps network connection.

🎵 Media

Package: flutter_use_audio

• useAudio — plays audio and exposes its controls.

Package: flutter_use_video

• useAssetVideo and useNetworkVideo — plays video, tracks its state, and exposes playback controls.

🚧 Coming Soon

• useEvent — subscribe to events.
