dart-resource-management

What problem does it solve?

This Skill prevents memory leaks and unexpected behavior in Dart and Flutter applications by ensuring that all managed resources (like timers, streams, and network requests) are properly disposed of when they are no longer needed.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Resource Disposal: Ensures dispose() or close() methods are used correctly for timers, subscriptions, stream controllers, animations, and native resources.
• Cancellation: Handles cancellation of network requests and pending futures to avoid operating on disposed widgets.
• Lifecycle Management: Integrates resource management with the application and widget lifecycles.
• Use Case: When a Flutter widget that uses a StreamController and a Timer is removed from the screen, this Skill ensures both are properly closed and cancelled, preventing memory leaks.

Quick Start

Use the dart-resource-management skill to ensure all timers and subscriptions are properly cancelled and nullified in the dispose method.
