Usage

class BeerListView extends StatefulWidget {
  @override
  _BeerListViewState createState() => _BeerListViewState();
}

class _BeerListViewState extends State<BeerListView> {
  static const _pageSize = 20;

  final PagingController<int, BeerSummary> _pagingController =
      PagingController(firstPageKey: 0);

  @override
  void initState() {
    _pagingController.addPageRequestListener((pageKey) {
      _fetchPage(pageKey);
    });
    super.initState();
  }

  Future<void> _fetchPage(int pageKey) async {
    try {
      final newItems = await RemoteApi.getBeerList(pageKey, _pageSize);
      final isLastPage = newItems.length < _pageSize;
      if (isLastPage) {
        _pagingController.appendLastPage(newItems);
      } else {
        final nextPageKey = pageKey + newItems.length;
        _pagingController.appendPage(newItems, nextPageKey);
      }
    } catch (error) {
      _pagingController.error = error;
    }
  }

  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) => 
      // Don't worry about displaying progress or error indicators on screen; the 
      // package takes care of that. If you want to customize them, use the 
      // [PagedChildBuilderDelegate] properties.
      PagedListView<int, BeerSummary>(
        pagingController: _pagingController,
        builderDelegate: PagedChildBuilderDelegate<BeerSummary>(
          itemBuilder: (context, item, index) => BeerListItem(
            beer: item,
          ),
        ),
      );

  @override
  void dispose() {
    _pagingController.dispose();
    super.dispose();
  }
}

Features

• Architecture-agnostic: Works with any state management approach, from setState to BLoC. Not even Future usage is assumed.

• Layout-agnostic: Out-of-the-box widgets corresponding to GridView, SliverGrid, ListView and SliverList – including .separated constructors. Not enough? You can easily create a custom layout.

• API-agnostic: By letting you in complete charge of your API calls, Infinite Scroll Pagination works with any pagination strategy.

• Highly customizable: You can change everything. Provide your own progress, error and empty list indicators. Too lazy to change? The defaults will cover you.

• Extensible: Seamless integration with pull-to-refresh, searching, filtering and sorting.

• Listen to state changes: In addition to displaying widgets to inform the current status, such as progress and error indicators, you can also use a listener to display dialogs/snackbars/toasts or execute any other action.
