Both StreamBuilder
and FutureBuilder
have the same behavior: They listen to changes on their respective object. And trigger a new build when they are notified
of a new value.
So in the end, their differences are how the object they listen to works.
Future
is like Promise
in JS or Task
in c#. They are the representation of an asynchronous request. Futures
have one and only one response. A common usage of Future
is to handle HTTP calls. What you can listen to on a Future
is its state. Whether it's done, finished with success, or had an error. But that's it.
Stream
on the other hand is like async Iterator
in JS. This can be assimilated to a value that can change over time. It usually is the representation of web-sockets or events (such as clicks). By listening to a Stream
you'll get each new value and also if the Stream
had an error or completed.
How each of them listens to changes in a dynamic list?
A Future
can't listen to a variable change. It's a one-time response. Instead, you'll need to use a Stream
.
