Cubit vs Bloc ⚔️

Choosing the Right Tool for Efficient State Management in Your Flutter App 🛠️

Two powerful approaches for managing state in Flutter are Cubit and Bloc from the flutter_bloc package. In this post, we'll break down the concepts of Cubit and Bloc, showing how to create and manage states, events, and event transformations.

Cubit (Counter Example)

import 'package:equatable/equatable.dart';

class CounterState extends Equatable {
  final int counter;

  const CounterState(this.counter);

  factory CounterState.initial() => const CounterState(0);

  CounterState copyWith({int? counter}) {
    return CounterState(counter ?? this.counter);
  }

  @override
  List<Object> get props => [counter];

  @override
  String toString() => 'CounterState(counter: $counter)';
}

• We use Equatable to handle equality checks.
• The copyWith method allows updating the state without modifying the entire object.
• toString provides a readable representation of the state.
