The purpose of the thesis is to analyze three of the most popular state-management systems: Redux, Scoped Model and BLoC. Another purpose is to recommend which of the three is the most suitable for Flutter. As Flutter is a new development tool, the best practice for state-management has not been analyzed yet. Therefore, the thesis provides the first step in finding the best practice when choosing a state-management system for a Flutter project.
The study was conducted by gathering different properties of multiple GitHub projects. The properties were gathered by analyzing the size of each project as well as evaluating the amount of projects existing in certain size group. The data was then used to create graphs that illustrate the results of the study.
In conclusion, the study shows that BLoC is the most suitable state-management system for Flutter, since BLoC is highly customized for Dart, which is Flutter’s own programming language. In addition, the findings of the study could be used as the starting point for future application architects when deciding which state-management to use. Furthermore, the study can be built upon to develop the concept into a generally accepted best practice for the development of Flutter.
