How do you implement pagination in Flutter with a bloc pattern?
Its an easy process and here are the steps to follow for implementation of pagination in Flutter with a bloc pattern:
- Define an
offset
and alimit
in your bloc state to keep track of the current page and the number of items to be displayed on each page. - In your bloc, create a method that retrieves a page of items from your data source using the
offset
andlimit
values. This method should update the bloc state with the new page of items, as well as the total number of items in the data source. - In your Flutter app, create a
ListView
widget and bind it to the page of items in the bloc state. You can use theListView.builder
constructor to build the list view. - To handle pagination, you can use a
ScrollController
to detect when the user scrolls to the end of the list view. When the end of the list is reached, you can call the bloc method to retrieve the next page of items and update the bloc state.
