Converting to a Provider⌗

Converting to Provider instead of custom InheritedWidget:

  • I care about providing the signed in user and the list of recipes, and the isLoading bool

  • I need to be able to notify anything about the user signing out

  • I need to be able to notify about a recipe being uploaded

  • I need to be able to notify about a recipe being favorited/unfavorited

  • A class needs to extends ChangeNotifier to be able to call notifyListeners()

  • ChangeNotifierProvider goes above the widgets that need access to it, but no higher than necessary (so app, I think)

  • ChangeNotifierProvider takes a builder for the model (the thing that extends ChangeNotifier [I think this will end up being new recipes list model?])

  • Use MultiProvider to have multiple Providers (I think I need one for user and one for recipe)

  • We use a Consumer inside the widget to gain access to the model. The Consumer uses a builder to rebuild the widget according to the provider

  • The consumer’s builder gives the (context, ChangeNotifier[Model],

  • Good practice to put the Consumer as deep as possible

  • If you need access to the model, but not the data inside it, use Provider.of<>
