When to use .add() and when to use emit() in Flutter Bloc?

Question

I am new to Bloc in flutter, any one can please explain when should I use add() and when to use emit in Blocs?

Answer 1

Use emit when you want a new state for your bloc.
Use add when you want your bloc to handle a new event.

See the Timer tutorial has an example.

Answer 2

You should always use emit, flutter bloc was upgrade to extends Cubit class and Cubit uses emit. Add was old usage.
