Overview
Stacked Hooks is a Flutter package that extends the Stacked architecture by providing utility classes to seamlessly integrate React-style hooks into your state management workflow. It enables developers to use hooks like useState, useEffect, and useStream within Stacked's view models, promoting cleaner, more modular code. Designed for developers already using the Stacked package, it simplifies state handling in UI components without requiring a full rewrite of existing logic. The package supports all major platforms, ensuring consistent behavior across Android, iOS, Web, macOS, Windows, and Linux.
Use cases
- Building reactive UIs with minimal boilerplate
