Built With
Anytime makes use of several amazing packages available on pub.dev. Below is a list of the packages that are heavily used within the application.
- Flutter - SDK.
- Sembast - NoSQL persistent store.
- RxDart - adds additional capabilities to Dart Streams and StreamControllers.
- Audio Service - Provides background support for supporting audio libraries.
- Podcast Search - Provides podcast search and parsing.
Architecture
Anytime takes a layered approach:
- UI - The UI presented to the users. Currently this is mobile, but could be extended to web and/or desktop in the future.
- BLoC - Handles the state for the UI. Communication between the UI and BLoC is entirely via Sinks and Streams.
- Services - Interacts with the API and Repository to provide data handling routines to the BLoCs and other services.
- API - Interacts with the iTunes API (via a package) to fetch and parse podcast data.
- Repository - Provides persistent storage.
