Usage

Once

Mainly runner functions consists of callbacks and fallbacks

• callback is the generic function that runs and returns a future<T?> .
• fallback is the same but only runs in case that callback future returns null.

Now you're ready to go. Say you wanted to show the new features dialog when new version of the app come:

Once.runOnEveryNewVersion(
  callback: () {
    /* What's new in 2.3.2 version? dialog */
  },
  fallback: () {
   /* Navigate to new screen */
  },
);

Or maybe you want to show the rate this app dialog weekly:

if (!rated) {
  Once.runWeekly("ratingDialog",
    callback: () { 
       /* Like our app, Please rate us. dialog */ 
    },
    fallback: () {
      /* Thanks */
    },
  );
}

Or maybe you want to show a feature prompt until the user explicitly dismisses it:

Once.runUntilDone("feature_prompt",
  callback: (dismiss) { 
     /* Show feature prompt dialog */ 
     // Call dismiss() when the user clicks "Got it"
     dismiss();
  },
  fallback: () {
    /* Feature already acknowledged */
  },
);

OnceWidget

Mainly builder functions consists of builders and fallbacks

• builder is the generic function that shows and returns a Widget and provide for BuildContext.
• fallback is the same but only shows in case that callback future returns null (defaults to SizedBox.shrink()) and provide for BuildContext.

Now you're ready to go. Say you wanted to view a banner widget when the app is updated:

OnceWidget.showOnEveryNewVersion(
  builder: (context) {
   return Container(...);
  },
);

Or maybe you want to show the hello new week widget weekly:

OnceWidget.showWeekly("weekWidget",
  builder: (context) {
     return Text('Hello, New Week');
   },
  fallback: (context) {
     return Text('Hello!');
   },
);

Or maybe you want to show a banner until the user dismisses it:

OnceWidget.showUntilDone("onboarding_banner",
  builder: (dismiss) {
     return Row(
       children: [
         Text('New feature available!'),
         ElevatedButton(
           onPressed: dismiss, // Will not show again after being clicked
           child: Text('Got it'),
         ),
       ],
     );
   },
  fallback: () {
     return SizedBox.shrink();
   },
);
