final counter = Beacon.writable(0);

// The future will be recomputed whenever the counter changes
final derivedFutureCounter = Beacon.derivedFuture(() async {
  final count = counter.value;
  await Future.delayed(Duration(seconds: count));
  return '$count second has passed.';
});

class FutureCounter extends StatelessWidget {

    };
  }
}
```

--------------------------------

```

--------------------------------

### Example Usage of bufferedTime

Source: https://pub.dev/documentation/state_beacon/latest/state_beacon/BeaconGroup/bufferedTime

    return Text('$count');
  }
}
```

--------------------------------

final name = myGroup.writable('Bob');
final age = myGroup.writable(20);

myGroup.effect(() {
  print(name.value);
});

age.value = 21;

)
```

```dart
final numbers = <int>[1, 2, 3, 4, 5];
numbers.removeRange(1, 4);

      print("You can vote!");
    } else {

  _setValue(_value, force: true);
}
```

### Dart ListBeacon removeAt Method Example

Source: https://pub.dev/documentation/state_beacon/latest/state_beacon/ListBeacon/removeAt

Demonstrates how to use the `removeAt` method to remove an element from a `ListBeacon` by its index. The method returns the removed element and modifies the list in place.

```Dart
final parts = <String>['head', 'shoulder', 'knees', 'toes'];
final retVal = parts.removeAt(2); // knees
print(parts); // [head, shoulder, toes]
```

### ListBeacon.fillRange Method

Source: https://pub.dev/documentation/state_beacon/latest/state_beacon/ListBeacon/fillRange

Overwrites a range of elements in the ListBeacon with a specified fill value. The range is defined by start and end indices, and the fillValue must be provided if the element type is not nullable.

```dart
void fillRange(int start, int end, [E? fillValue]) {
  _value.fillRange(start, end, fillValue);
  _setValue(_value, force: true);
}
```

```dart
final words = List.filled(5, 'old');
print(words); // [old, old, old, old, old]
words.fillRange(1, 3, 'new');
print(words); // [old, new, new, old, old]
```

### isIdleOrLoading Property - AsyncLoading

Source: https://pub.dev/documentation/state_beacon/latest/state_beacon/AsyncLoading/isIdleOrLoading

The isIdleOrLoading property returns true if the current state is AsyncIdle or AsyncLoading. This is a common check for determining if a data fetching operation is in progress or has not yet started.

```dart
@override
bool get isIdleOrLoading => true;
```

### AsyncIdle Constructor

Source: https://pub.dev/documentation/state_beacon/latest/state_beacon/AsyncIdle/AsyncIdle

Initializes a new instance of the AsyncIdle class. This represents an asynchronous operation that is currently in an idle state, meaning it has not yet started or has completed without data or error.

```dart
AsyncIdle<T>()
```

--------------------------------

### SingletonRef<T> Class Documentation

Source: https://pub.dev/documentation/state_beacon/latest/state_beacon/SingletonRef-class

Documentation for the SingletonRef<T> class, which provides a reference that always returns a new instance. It details inheritance, constructors, properties, methods, and operators.

```APIDOC
SingletonRef<T> class
  A SingletonRef is a reference that always returns a new instance.

Inheritance
    * Object
    * TransientRef<T>
    * SingletonRef

Constructors
  SingletonRef.new(T create())

Properties
  hashCode → int
    The hash code for this object.
    no setterinherited
  instance → T
    Returns the singleton instance of `T`.
    no setteroverride
  runtimeType → Type
    A representation of the runtime type of the object.
    no setterinherited

Methods
  call() → T
    Equivalent to calling the instance getter.
    inherited
  freeze() → void
    Disables overriding.
    inherited
  noSuchMethod(Invocation invocation) → dynamic
    Invoked when a nonexistent method or property is accessed.
    inherited
  overrideWith(T create()) → void
    Sets the function used to create instances. Throws a StateError if `this` has been frozen.
    override
  toString() → String
    A string representation of this object.
    inherited

Operators
  operator ==(Object other) → bool
    The equality operator.
    inherited
```

--------------------------------

### AsyncSingletonRef Constructor

Source: https://pub.dev/documentation/state_beacon/latest/state_beacon/AsyncSingletonRef/AsyncSingletonRef

The constructor for AsyncSingletonRef<T> takes an AsyncFactory<T> to create the singleton instance asynchronously.

```dart
AsyncSingletonRef<T>(
  AsyncFactory<T> create
)
```

```dart
AsyncSingletonRef(super.create);
```

--------------------------------

### Debouncing Beacon Updates

Source: https://pub.dev/documentation/state_beacon/latest/index

Example of using the debounce method to limit the rate at which a beacon's value can be updated, often used for input fields to avoid excessive processing.

```dart
final query = Beacon.writable('');

const k500ms = Duration(milliseconds: 500);

final debouncedQuery = query
        .filter((prev, next) => next.length > 2)
        .debounce(duration: k500ms);
```
