Flutter Global Configuration

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

Preamble

This package is also part of the EZ Flutter Framework.

Install

pubspec.yaml

Update pubspec.yaml and add the following line to your dependencies.

dependencies:
  global_configuration: ^2.0.0

Import

Import the package with :

import 'package:global_configuration/global_configuration.dart';

Loading configuration

There are many ways where you can store your configuration files and load them.

Load from asset

Creating a configuration file inside assets/cfg folder

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/

Load configuration from assets at app start

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 {
  ...
}

Load from path

Creating a configuration file anywhere

Create a file anywhere inside your app.

Load configuration from path at app start

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 {
  ...
}

Load from path into key

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 {
  ...
}

Load from map

Creating a configuration inside .dart file

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"
};

Load configuration from map at app start

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 {
  ...
}

Load from url

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.

Load configuration from url at app start

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 {
  ...
}

Using the configuration in your app

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
     }
}

Overriding configuration

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 : 2
