# Flutter hook: `useOptimistic` 🪝
An easy-to-use hook to optimistically update generic state and then resolve it later (async or sync) by `accept`, `acceptAs`, or `reject`-ing.
----
### Documentation
- [Full example](https://pub.dev/packages/use_optimistic/example) of using this hook to manage integer state.
- GitHub repo found [here](https://github.com/mattrltrent/use_optimistic).
- Package found [here](https://pub.dev/packages/use_optimistic).
Documentation is largely found in the package itself via doc-comments (*i.e. hover over package functions in your editor and it'll tell you what they do*). First, however, view the above [full example](https://pub.dev/packages/use_optimistic/example) to get started.
### Simple usage
**Initialize the hook:**
```dart
final UseOptimistic useOptimistic = UseOptimistic(initialState: 0)
```
**Ensure your widget listens to its state changes:**
```dart
@override
void initState() {
super.initState();
useOptimistic.addListener(() => setState(() => debugPrint("state changed to: ${useOptimistic.state}")));
}
```
**Ensure the hook will be disposed when your widget is:**
```dart
@override
void dispose() {
super.dispose();
useOptimistic.dispose();
}
```
**Update your state optimistically:**
```dart
TextButton(
onPressed: () async {
Resolver r = useOptimistic.fn(
1, // the [newValue] to be passed to functions below
todo: (currentState, newValue) => currentState + newValue,
undo: (currentState, oldValue) => currentState - oldValue,
);
// simulating an API call
await Future.delayed(const Duration(seconds: 1));
// three mutually exclusive ways to deal with result
r.acceptAs(2); // [undo] original function, then [todo] with new value
r.accept(); // accept the original optimistic update
r.reject(); // reject the original optimistic update and [undo] original function
},
child: const Text("optimistically add 1"),
),
```
You can call `useOptimistic.fn( ... )` multiple times with different `todo` and `undo` functions and it'll execute the proper `todo`/`undo` associated with `fn` at the moment you called it. This means you can call multiple *separate* `useOptimistic.fn( ... )`s safely together. It does *not mean* you can have a single `fn` like this (pseudo-code): `useOptimistic.fn( if x todo: () => {...} else todo: () => {...} )` that has conditionally rendered `todo`/`undo` functions.
**Listen to the state:**
```dart
Text("current value: ${useOptimistic.state}"),
```
### Extra
- The package is always open to [improvements](https://github.com/mattrltrent/use_optimistic/issues), [suggestions](mailto:[email protected]), and [additions](https://github.com/mattrltrent/use_optimistic/pulls)!
- I'll look through GitHub PRs and Issues as soon as I can.
