flutter_hooks extends Flutter with a hooks system inspired by React Hooks, aiming to simplify stateful logic inside widgets. It allows developers to reuse and isolate stateful behaviors like animations, controllers, and subscriptions without writing boilerplate StatefulWidgets. Common hooks like useState, useEffect, and useMemoized provide clear ways to manage lifecycle and dependencies inside a widget’s build method. The library improves code readability by keeping logic close to the UI definitions and avoiding repetitive patterns. By encapsulating behavior in hooks, developers can create reusable building blocks across multiple widgets. It integrates seamlessly with existing Flutter tools and promotes cleaner, functional-style widget code.
Features
