使用flutter_bloc时在添加到购物车功能时保持数据一致性的正确过程是什么？

Question

I am implementing add to cart functionality in a flutter app with using BLoC pattern as state management, only a user who is logged can add products to the cart and as the first step, I want to store that cart data locally before trigger a POST request to the database. Also, there should be a facility to user to remove items from cart if it's unnecessary. Further, I want to keep the cart in the same state after a user re-open the application who logged in before. Is it possible with flutter_secure_storage and how I do in a proper way? And, how I maintain a cart to each user?

Answer 1

You can store the items of the cart in some persistent database or storage, so when the user opens the app again the items would be pre-loaded in the cart bloc. For this purpose, you can use the Hive , Shared Preference or sqflite . Use which one works best for you.

The proper way would be to store items in storage right after the user adds them, and clear the storage right after the user clears its cart, so he does not see any previous item upon opening the app next time.

Maintaining the cart for each user in persistent storage should not be a problem as it is stored in the mobile's memory. But if you are asking for multiple users using the same device having different cart items then you can assign a unique id or value to identify which user has logged in.
