kletso_core #

Pure-Dart client for Kletso: sessions, a realtime connection with reconnect and replay, conversation state and typed events. No Flutter, no platform channels, no dart:html; runs on mobile, desktop, Flutter Web and Wasm. Flutter apps use kletso_flutter, which builds on this.

Quick start #

import 'package:kletso_core/kletso_core.dart';

final client = await Kletso.init(KletsoConfig(
  publishableKey: 'kl_pub_…',   // never a secret key
  agentId: 'agt_…',
));
await client.authenticate(token: userJwt, onTokenExpired: fetchNewJwt);
// or: await client.identifyAnonymous();

client.messages.addListener(() => render(client.messages.value));   // List<KletsoMessage>
client.connection.addListener(() => banner(client.connection.value)); // closed|connecting|open|reconnecting
client.events.listen((e) => switch (e) {
  KletsoServerEvent(:final payload) => handle(payload),   // typed kletso.events/v1 payload
  KletsoClientError(:final exception) => log(exception),
  _ => null,
});

await client.send(const KletsoOutbound.text('Show me flights to Osaka'));
await client.send(KletsoOutbound.action(surfaceId: s, componentId: c, actionId: 'book', value: v));
client.setContext({'plan': 'pro'});
client.track('cart_abandoned', {'value': 129});

Try it without a backend #

import 'package:kletso_core/fake.dart';

final backend = KletsoFakeBackend(scenario: const KletsoFakeScenario.demo());
final client = KletsoClient(config, api: backend, transport: backend);

The fake speaks the real protocol from the kletso_ui_schema fixtures: say "flight", "hotel", "products", "sales", "cancel my order", "callback", "order", "human" or "error". KletsoFakeScenario adds latency, socket drops, duplicate frames, token expiry, auth rejection and rate limits so reconnect paths can be exercised in an app.

How it fits together #

Observables are KletsoValueListenables (same shape as Flutter's ValueListenable) plus one broadcast Stream<KletsoEvent>; wrap them with any state library or none.

Connection behaviour #

• WebSocket first; after two consecutive handshake failures the session falls back to SSE (KletsoTransportMode.auto).
• Auth is the first frame ({"t":"auth",…}), never a query parameter. ready{seq} gates sending.
• Ping every 25 s; no pong in 10 s → close 4000 and reconnect. Backoff 500 ms → 30 s with full jitter, reset on ready.
• Resume with the last seq; duplicates and out-of-order events are dropped by seq and id.
• 4401 stops with KletsoAuthException; 4403 calls the refresher, then reconnects.
• Frames sent while not open are queued (100) and flushed after ready with their original clientId, so the server dedupes retries.
• pause()/resume() for app lifecycle; dispose() cancels every timer and subscription.
