A flutter package for managing different configurations by merging them together and making them available everythere inside the app via a singleton.
- Flutter Global Configuration
This package is also part of the EZ Flutter Framework.
Update pubspec.yaml and add the following line to your dependencies.
dependencies:
global_configuration: ^2.0.0Import the package with :
import 'package:global_configuration/global_configuration.dart';There are many ways where you can store your configuration files and load them.
Create a .json file and place it under assets/cfg/ Example filename: assets/cfg/app_settings.json
{
"key1": "value1",
"key2": "value2"
}Remember to update your pubspec.yaml file, so the config can be loaded from the assets directory! The config files must be placed under the assets/cfg/ directory.
flutter:
assets:
- assets/cfg/import 'package:flutter/material.dart';
import 'package:global_configuration/global_configuration.dart';
void main() async{
await GlobalConfiguration().loadFromAsset("app_settings");
runApp(MyApp());
}
class MyApp extends StatelessWidget {
...
}Create a file anywhere inside your app.
import 'package:flutter/material.dart';
import 'package:global_configuration/global_configuration.dart';
void main() async {
await GlobalConfiguration().loadFromPath("/path/file.json");
runApp(MyApp());
}
class MyApp extends StatelessWidget {
...
}The same as loadFromPath, but the config is added under the given key.
import 'package:flutter/material.dart';
import 'package:global_configuration/global_configuration.dart';
void main() async {
await GlobalConfiguration().loadFromPathIntoKey("/path/file.json", "env_settings");
runApp(MyApp());
}
class MyApp extends StatelessWidget {
...
}Create a dart file which includes your configuration and import it in your main file. Example filename: /config/app_settings.config.dart
final Map<String, String> appSettings = {
"key1": "value1",
"key2": "value2"
};import 'package:flutter/material.dart';
import 'package:global_configuration/global_configuration.dart';
import 'config/app_settings.config.dart';
void main() async {
GlobalConfiguration().loadFromMap(appSettings);
runApp(MyApp());
}
class MyApp extends StatelessWidget {
...
}It is possible to load any json configuration file from a url. Use the method loadFromUrl to load the config via GET request. Please consider using a try / catch. This method will throw an exception if the status code of the GET request is not 200.
The method also accepts query parameters and headers! The header "Accept: application/json" is always included.
import 'package:flutter/material.dart';
import 'package:global_configuration/global_configuration.dart';
void main() async{
try{
await GlobalConfiguration().loadFromUrl("http://urlToMyConfig.com");
}catch(e){
// something went wrong while fetching the config from the url ... do something
}
runApp(MyApp());
}
class MyApp extends StatelessWidget {
...
}Instatiate the GlobalConfiguration class and call any get($key) method.
import 'package:flutter/material.dart';
import 'package:global_configuration/global_configuration.dart';
class CustomWidget extends StatelessWidget {
CustomWiget(){
// Access the config in the constructor
print(GlobalConfiguration().getString("key1")); // prints value1
}
@override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
// Access the config in the build method
return Text(GlobalConfiguration().getString("key2")); // prints value2
}
}Sometimes it is necessary to override data in the configuration. This can be done by the updateValue method. This method makes a check for the given type of the value and then performs an update the configuration map.
Map<String, String> appSettings = {
"key1": "value1",
"key2": 1
};
GlobalConfiguration().loadFromMap(appSettings); // loading the configuration
print(GlobalConfiguration().getString("key1")); // output : value1
print(GlobalConfiguration().getString("key2")); // output : 1
GlobalConfiguration().updateValue("key1", "value2"); // update the value for key1
GlobalConfiguration().updateValue("key2", 2); // update the value for key2
print(GlobalConfiguration().getString("key1")); // output : value2
print(GlobalConfiguration().getString("key2")); // output : 2You can find a full example in the example folder.
