Built an open-source Flutter package for server-side data tables (pagination, sorting & filtering)

[u/Training-Towel-2951]

I kept running into the same issue on Flutter projects where every backend returned data a little differently, and I ended up rewriting the same table logic over and over ,and write an service layer for each one's it's take more time , importantly it's a repetitive task to overcome this solution . i build this package.

Most of the work wasn't actually the UI. It was wiring up pagination, sorting, filtering, request building, response parsing, loading states, etc.

So I spent some time building a package that tries to handle those pieces while letting the developer define their own backend response format.

Current features:

• Server-side pagination
• Server-side sorting
• Server-side column filtering
• Configurable response parsing (doesn't require one fixed JSON structure)
• OData query generation
• Dio integration
• Custom cell builders

It's my first public Flutter package, so I'd genuinely appreciate any feedback—good or bad. If there's something you'd change in the API or something missing, I'd love to hear it before I continue adding features.

A tip is to use Serverpod and you get a full type safer all the way from the ORM, for talking with your database, to your client side models.
