refactor(llc): split channel.dart into focused files - #2930
Conversation
📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughThe change extracts channel state, capability checks, and read helpers into dedicated Dart files. It adds reactive event and persistence handling, updates channel access to the public ChangesChannel state and API extraction
Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~60 minutes Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to The refactor preserves the public API and behavior; the remaining issue is limited to disposing test-created channels to prevent test-resource leakage or cross-test interference. The PR has no merge-blocking production risk and is ready after normal checks with this minor cleanup follow-up. Sequence Diagram(s)sequenceDiagram

Description of the pull request
Groundwork for FLU-481, which asks for two things as a first step: move responsibilities out of
Channelwhile keeping the public API unchanged, and move state out ofchannel.dart. This does the second, with zero public API change.channel.dartdeclared five top-level things, four of which had nothing to do with theChannelclass itself. They move to sibling files insrc/client/, next to the existingchannel_delivery_reporter.dartandretry_queue.dart:channel_client_state.dartclass ChannelClientState+ the private_pinIsValid(used only by it)channel_capability_check.dartextension ChannelCapabilityCheck on Channelchannel_read_helper.dartextension ChannelReadHelper on ChannelClientStatechannel.dart: 4,884 → 2,468 lines, now holdingclass Channeland nothing else.Sibling files rather than a
src/client/channel/subdirectory is deliberate: it keepschannel.darta modified file for the several open PRs currently editing it, instead of a delete/add, which is the one conflict class git can't help with and would force unrelated authors to hand-re-apply their hunks.Why this is not a breaking change
channel.dartre-exports the three new files:The reason this is sufficient — and not a trick that merely papers over the barrel path — is that Dart makes a library's export namespace indistinguishable from its declarations. Before,
channel.dartdeclared exactly four public names:Channel,ChannelClientState,ChannelReadHelper,ChannelCapabilityCheck. Now it declaresChanneland re-exports the other three. An importer cannot tell the difference:show,hide, prefixes, implicit extension application and explicit extension application all resolve identically either way. The public barrel (stream_chat.dart) already exportedchannel.dart, so it picks all of this up transitively and needs no change.Verified empirically from
sample_app— a real consumer resolvingstream_chatas a transitive path dependency, not from inside the package — across every import form a customer could be using today:show,hide, and prefixedpackage:stream_chat/src/client/channel.dart: plain,show, and prefixedstream_chat_flutterandstream_chat_flutter_corebarrels (the paths most apps actually use)implementsmocks of bothChannelandChannelClientStateList<>, map value,Future,Stream, typedef, generic boundAll resolve with no errors, for both implicit member access (
channel.canSendMessage) and explicit extension application (ChannelCapabilityCheck(channel).canSendMessage), including the two deprecated capability getters.Negative controls confirm the re-exports are load-bearing rather than incidentally redundant: with them stripped, the consumer-side deep import fails with 7 errors; restored, 0.
The one API addition
Moving the state class out of the library broke 25 private cross-accesses that only compiled because both classes shared a file. All were fixed by requalifying onto existing public equivalents:
state!._channelState→state!.channelState— the private getter was a byte-identical duplicate of the public one (=> _channelStateController.value), so this is a compiler-verified renamestate?._retryQueue.add([msg])→state?.scheduleRetry(msg)_channel._client/_client→ the publicclientgetter, which returns the same fieldThat leaves exactly one API delta:
@internal ChannelClientState.scheduleRetry(Message), whose body is the identical_retryQueue.add([message]).It is unavoidable —
Channelis the caller, so injection isn't available, and the only public alternative,retryFailedMessages(), is argument-less and rescans state, so it can't carry a specific message. It is also the mildest possible form of addition:implementswith every member spelled out, which is a routine minor-version change in this SDK.@internalkeeps it out of the documented surface: external callers getinvalid_use_of_internal_member, a warning, not an error.ClientState— the barrel-exported sibling class — already carries six@internalmembers for exactly this purpose, so this is the established pattern rather than a new one.implements+noSuchMethodand mocktail'sextends Mock implementsboth compile clean (covered by the matrix above).Test suite mirrors the split
channel_test.dart12,141 → 6,472, with the groups that exercise the moved code relocated to files matching the new sources:channel_client_state_test.dart(5,124),channel_capability_check_test.dart(407),channel_read_helper_test.dart(319). Which groups moved was decided by measuring each group's state-vs-channel orientation; genuinely mixed groups were left whole rather than split internally. Each new file carries a private copy of the two fixtures it used frommain(), aschannel_delivery_reporter_test.dartalready does.Measuring the extracted capability suite in isolation also exposed three members that only ever had incidental coverage from elsewhere in the package, so they gain direct tests (+8):
usesLocalUnreadCount— the fullisLocalUnreadCountEnabled× read-receipts matrix. Previously reached only viaChannel.markRead, and it is also the one line of moved code that changed, so it was the riskiest thing here and had no direct test.canUseDeliveryReceipts— absent from the parameterized capability list entirely.canUseReadReceipts— covered only through its deprecated aliascanReceiveReadEvents, so coverage would have silently vanished when that alias is removed.Both new source files are now at 100% line coverage from their own suites, and the parameterized entries follow declaration order.
Verification
channel.dartfrom the four split files and diffing shows only the deliberate edits listed above — 21 + 4 + 4 substitutions, the 3 lines declaringscheduleRetry, and 2 imports that moved with the code. Zero unexplained changes.Channel214 → 214 public members;ChannelCapabilityCheck44 → 44;ChannelReadHelper6 → 6;ChannelClientState166 → 167 (scheduleRetry).

99% of #2911's and 94% of #2913's
channel.dartdiffs land inside the block that moved here, so neither can be rebased through this — they need re-deriving intochannel_client_state.dart, with #2905's characterization suite as the safety net. That cost was accepted deliberately, so that the file move happens once, up front, and both extractions then land directly in their final home.Screenshots / Videos
