Authentication is a critical component to most modern application, and managing authentication state efficiently is essential to ensure a seamless user experience. So why make implementing authentication management state more difficult than it should be?The Rownd Flutter SDK provides a preconfigured Cubit that abstracts any complexity of implementing authentication as well as managing the authentication states. Here’s why the Rownd pre-configured Cubit is an excellent choice for managing authentication in your Flutter app.
- Separation of Concerns: Clean and Maintainable Code – BLoC/Cubit encourages a clear separation of concerns by isolating the business logic from the UI. This means that all the logic pertaining to logging in, logging out, and abstracting user session data is centralized in the Cubit class. This separation results in code that is easier to maintain, test, and scale
- Predictable State Management – With the Rownd pre-configured Cubit, you can manage authentication state in a predictable way. Every state transition is explicitly defined, which makes it easy to understand and debug the app’s behavior. This is vital for authentication, where unexpected state changes can lead to security vulnerabilities or poor user experiences.
- Efficient Asynchronous Operations – BLoC/Cubit provides a robust mechanism to handle these operations without blocking the UI. This helps ensure your app remains responsive. This is important for action like logging in or out where users expect immediate feedback.
- Reactive UI Updates – One of the biggest advantages of using BLoC/Cubit is the reactive nature of the pattern. While using the pre-configured authentication states defined in the Rownd authentication Cubit, the UI automatically updates in response to state changes. Whether the user is logging in, logging out, or encountering an error, the UI stays in sync with the authentication state.
Not only does the BLoC/Cubit pattern have benefits for managing authentication but the Rownd pre-configured Cubit addresses common pain points that developers face when managing authentication state.
