Flutter default counter app using BLoC pattern

Question

I'm new to Flutter and I'm trying to use BLoC for state management. So I'm trying to rewrite flutter's default counter app using BLoC. Unfortunately my UI is not redrawn when the add button is pressed. I don't know what I'm doing wrong I'm using

  bloc: ^6.1.0
  equatable: ^1.2.5
  flutter_bloc: ^6.0.6

Here is my code

counter_event.dart

part of 'counter_bloc.dart';

abstract class CounterEvent extends Equatable {
  const CounterEvent();

  @override
  List<Object> get props => [];
}

class IncrementEvent extends CounterEvent {}

class DecrementEvent extends CounterEvent {}

counter_state.dart

part of 'counter_bloc.dart';

class CounterState extends Equatable {
  final int counter;
  const CounterState({@required this.counter});

  @override
  List<Object> get props => [counter];
}

counter_bloc.dart

import 'dart:async';

import 'package:bloc/bloc.dart';
import 'package:equatable/equatable.dart';
import 'package:flutter/foundation.dart';

part 'counter_event.dart';
part 'counter_state.dart';

class CounterBloc extends Bloc<CounterEvent, CounterState> {
  CounterBloc() : super(CounterState(counter: 0));

  @override
  Stream<CounterState> mapEventToState(CounterEvent event) async* {
    if (state is IncrementEvent) {
      yield CounterState(counter: state.counter + 1);
    } else if (state is DecrementEvent) {
      yield CounterState(counter: state.counter - 1);
    }
  }
}

Here is the main function

main.dart

import 'package:counter_bloc/bloc/counter_bloc.dart';
import 'package:flutter/material.dart';
import 'package:flutter_bloc/flutter_bloc.dart';

void main() {
  runApp(MyApp());
}

class MyApp extends StatelessWidget {
  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return MaterialApp(
      title: 'Flutter Demo',
      theme: ThemeData(
        primarySwatch: Colors.blue,
        visualDensity: VisualDensity.adaptivePlatformDensity,
      ),
      home: Home(title: 'Flutter Demo Home Page'),
    );
  }
}

class Home extends StatefulWidget {
  Home({Key key, this.title}) : super(key: key);

  final String title;

  @override
  _HomeState createState() => _HomeState();
}

class _HomeState extends State<Home> {
  CounterBloc counterBloc = CounterBloc();
  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return Scaffold(
      appBar: AppBar(
        title: Text(widget.title),
      ),
      body: BlocBuilder<CounterBloc, CounterState>(
        cubit: counterBloc,
        builder: (context, state) {
          return Center(
            child: Column(
              mainAxisAlignment: MainAxisAlignment.center,
              children: <Widget>[
                Text(
                  'You have pushed the button this many times:',
                ),
                Text(
                  state.counter.toString(),
                  style: Theme.of(context).textTheme.headline4,
                ),
              ],
            ),
          );
        },
      ),
      floatingActionButton: FloatingActionButton(
        onPressed: () {
          counterBloc.add(IncrementEvent());
        },
        tooltip: 'Increment',
        child: Icon(Icons.add),
      ),
    );
  }

  @override
  void dispose() {
    counterBloc.close();
    super.dispose();
  }
}

Answer 1

You can copy paste run full code below
Step 1: if (event is IncrementEvent) not state
Step 2: You need BlocProvider

home: BlocProvider<CounterBloc>(
        create: (context) => CounterBloc(),
        child: Home(
          title: "test",
        ),
      ),

Step 3: You need to call BlocProvider.of<CounterBloc>

 Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    final CounterBloc counterBloc = BlocProvider.of<CounterBloc>(context);
