Actions class Null safety

A widget that establishes an ActionDispatcher and a map of Intent to Action to be used by its descendants when invoking an Action.

Actions are typically invoked using Actions.invoke with the context containing the ambient Actions widget.

This example creates a custom Action subclass ModifyAction for modifying a model, and another, SaveAction for saving it.

This example demonstrates passing arguments to the Intent to be carried to the Action. Actions can get data either from their own construction (like the model in this example), or from the intent passed to them when invoked (like the increment amount in this example).

This example also demonstrates how to use Intents to limit a widget's dependencies on its surroundings. The SaveButton widget defined in this example can invoke actions defined in its ancestor widgets, which can be customized to match the part of the widget tree that it is in. It doesn't need to know about the SaveAction class, only the SaveIntent, and it only needs to know about a value notifier, not the entire model.

To create a local project with this code sample, run:
flutter create --sample=widgets.Actions.1 mysample

Constructors

Actions({Key? key, ActionDispatcher? dispatcher, required Map<Type, Action<Intent>> actions, required Widget child}): Creates an Actions widget.
const

Properties

actions → Map<Type, Action<Intent>>: A map of Intent keys to Action<Intent> objects that defines which actions this widget knows about.
final
child → Widget: This widget can only have one child. To lay out multiple children, let this widget's child be a widget such as Row, Column, or Stack, which have a children property, and then provide the children to that widget.
final
dispatcher → ActionDispatcher?: The ActionDispatcher object that invokes actions.
final
hashCode → int: The hash code for this object.
nonVirtual">@nonVirtualread-onlyinherited
key → Key?: Controls how one widget replaces another widget in the tree.
finalinherited
runtimeType → Type: A representation of the runtime type of the object.
read-onlyinherited

Methods

createElement() → StatefulElement: Creates a StatefulElement to manage this widget's location in the tree.
inherited
createState() → State<Actions>: Creates the mutable state for this widget at a given location in the tree.
override
debugDescribeChildren() → List<DiagnosticsNode>: Returns a list of DiagnosticsNode objects describing this node's children.
protected">@protectedinherited
debugFillProperties(DiagnosticPropertiesBuilder properties) → void: Add additional properties associated with the node.
override
noSuchMethod(Invocation invocation) → dynamic: Invoked when a non-existent method or property is accessed.
inherited
toDiagnosticsNode({String? name, DiagnosticsTreeStyle? style}) → DiagnosticsNode: Returns a debug representation of the object that is used by debugging tools and by DiagnosticsNode.toStringDeep.
inherited
toString({DiagnosticLevel minLevel = DiagnosticLevel.info}) → String: A string representation of this object.
inherited
toStringDeep({String prefixLineOne = '', String? prefixOtherLines, DiagnosticLevel minLevel = DiagnosticLevel.debug}) → String: Returns a string representation of this node and its descendants.
inherited
toStringShallow({String joiner = ', ', DiagnosticLevel minLevel = DiagnosticLevel.debug}) → String: Returns a one-line detailed description of the object.
inherited
toStringShort() → String: A short, textual description of this widget.

Operators

operator ==(Object other) → bool: The equality operator.

Static Methods

find<T extends Intent>(BuildContext context, {T? intent}) → Action<T>: Finds the Action bound to the given intent type T in the given context.
handler<T extends Intent>(BuildContext context, T intent) → VoidCallback?: Returns a VoidCallback handler that invokes the bound action for the given intent if the action is enabled, and returns null if the action is not enabled, or no matching action is found.
invoke<T extends Intent>(BuildContext context, T intent) → Object?: Invokes the action associated with the given Intent using the Actions widget that most tightly encloses the given BuildContext.
maybeFind<T extends Intent>(BuildContext context, {T? intent}) → Action<T>?: Finds the Action bound to the given intent type T in the given context.
maybeInvoke<T extends Intent>(BuildContext context, T intent) → Object?: Invokes the action associated with the given Intent using the Actions widget that most tightly encloses the given BuildContext.
of(BuildContext context) → ActionDispatcher: Returns the ActionDispatcher associated with the Actions widget that most tightly encloses the given BuildContext.
