GetX VS Bloc: Which One is Best For Flutter App Development?

admin In App Development 834

Flutter is the only toolkit that focuses mainly on how to show your Stateful or Stateless widgets but doesn’t solve a lot of problems with state management or architecture design of your application like some other frameworks.

Yet, numerous new mobile app developers can be confused with picking various packages for solving state management problems so I decided to make this overview of the most popular Flutter state management packages with a small description of them.

Bloc

Bloc is probably the most popular state management solution which makes learn your architectural pattern: Presentation, Bussiness Logic, Data (Repository, Provider)

Pros:

Easy for a separate presentation from business logic
Great documentation with many examples
Dependency injection: Uses Provider internally to make it easy to provide and access blocs throughout the widget tree.
Can persist and restore states
Support for undo and redo states
Widely used by the Flutter community
Active development with many sponsors

GetX

GetX is the second most famous state management solution and exceptionally quickly developing in popularity. Is also the most controversial and evoking conflict in the Flutter developer community because many developers hate this package due to antipatterns, bad testability, or documentation, but many developers also love it due to its simplicity and very shortcode which you write so then you feel more productive.

Furthermore, there is a conversation between the creator of GetX and creators of other state management solutions (Bloc and Provider) which probably causes much hate in the Flutter community against GetX.

Pros:

Very simple for new Flutter developers
Very shortcode
Big popularity
Solving also dependency injection

Cons:

The package is solving a number of things: Vendor gets into just a single huge bundle
With no sponsors: When the writer stops backing this bundle so you can modify entire your application without any preparation
The too big package which has an excessive number of issues
When you find some issue you can wait a too very long time for a fix
At the point when you discover some issue you can stand by too extremely long timespan for fix
Bad reputation in Flutter community
Documentation isn’t genuine

Closure

Flutter app development enables companies to get versatile solutions while resolving many common issues. Startups and SMEs can also tap into opportunities with customized and feature-rich apps that can easily run on Apple and Android devices.
