Package selection guidance compiled from public package information, community data, and project usage.
Flutter Triple is a state management solution implementing the Segmented State Pattern (SSP), commonly known as 'Triple'. It provides a clean, predictable way to manage application state by separating data, loading, and error states. Built for simplicity and scalability, it integrates seamlessly with Flutter's reactive ecosystem. The package promotes code organization and reduces boilerplate, making it ideal for developers seeking a lightweight yet powerful alternative to traditional state management approaches. It supports all major platforms including Android, iOS, Web, macOS, Windows, and Linux.
Use cases
Managing complex UI states in Flutter apps
Handling asynchronous operations with clear loading and error states
Building scalable and maintainable state logic
Simplifying state transitions in reactive UIs
Integrating with dependency injection frameworks
Reducing boilerplate in state management
Key features
Clean separation of state types (initial, success, loading, failure)
Built-in support for async operations
Reactive updates via StreamBuilder and ValueListenableBuilder
Minimal boilerplate with intuitive API
Composable and extensible state patterns
Cross-platform compatibility
Suitable for
Developers seeking a lightweight state management solution
Teams wanting consistent state handling across projects
Apps with frequent async operations
Projects using dependency injection
Beginners learning state management patterns
Large-scale applications requiring maintainable state logic
Considerations
Requires understanding of the Triple pattern concept
May need additional setup for advanced use cases
Limited built-in debugging tools compared to full frameworks
Best suited for apps where state complexity justifies its structure
Not ideal for very simple state needs without async logic
Depends on external libraries for full functionality

Triple - Segmented State Pattern
Welcome to Triple!
Design Pattern for State Management.
Triple is a nickname to SSP (Segmented State Standard).
Some packages were created to make it easier for developers to start using the standard. We'll call it an extension.
Segmented State Pattern (SSP)
When we talk about a single flow state, we end up solving architecture problems early, as we will have only one data flow for each state.
In addition to the maintainability and to the ease of use architecture, we also have the possibility of increasing this flow with other standards such as the Observer, which gives reactivity to the component when it is modified, and Memento, which makes it possible to revert or redo this state.
A beautiful example of a pattern with a single flow is BLoC, giving reactivity to a state allowing all transformations in that flow. This (although complicated for some), consolidates very well in the architecture of a project, even the limits of this practice are beneficial for not allowing the developer to resort to other solutions for the architecture and the standard for its resource.
There are other ways to promote reactivity in a property instead of the entire object, such as MobX's Observable and Flutter's ValueNotifier, and that gives us a lot of choices. However, we lose some important architecture limits, which can put in check the project maintenance in the future. Therefore, it needs a standard to force limits on the individual reactivity of each property and thereby improve the maintainability of the components responsible for managing the states of the application.

✨ Usage
The SSP segments the state into 3 reactive parts, the state value (state), the error object (error), and the state loading action (loading).
These segments are observed in a listener or separate listeners. They can also be combined to obtain a new segment, always starting from the 3 main segments.
