About

Flutter plugin for discovering the state of the network (WiFi & mobile/cellular) connectivity on Android and iOS.

This plugin allows Flutter apps to discover network connectivity and configure themselves accordingly. It can distinguish between cellular vs WiFi connection. This plugin works for iOS and Android.

Note that on Android, this does not guarantee connection to Internet. For instance, the app might have wifi access but it might be a VPN or a hotel WiFi with no access.

3. flutter_mobx

About: Flutter integration for MobX. It provides a set of Observer widgets that automatically rebuild when the tracked observables change.

Details:

MobX for the Dart language. Hassle-free, reactive state-management for your Dart and Flutter apps.

MobX is a state-management library that makes it simple to connect the reactive data of your application with the UI. This wiring is completely automatic and feels very natural. As the application-developer, you focus purely on what reactive-data needs to be consumed in the UI (and elsewhere) without worrying about keeping the two in sync.

It’s not really magic but it does have some smarts around what is being consumed (observables) and where (reactions), and automatically tracks it for you. When the observables change, all reactions are re-run. What’s interesting is that these reactions can be anything from a simple console log, a network call to re-rendering the UI.

MobX has been a very effective library for the JavaScript apps and this port to the Dart language aims to bring the same levels of productivity.
