Setup

Replace runApp with

void main() {
  runApp(const ProviderScope(child: MyApp()));
}

Uses

Creating data:

1. Provider

// Provider is used to access immutable objects
final counter = Provider<int>((ref) {
  return 1;
});

2. StateProvider

// StateProvider is used to access simple mutable object
final counter2 = StateProvider<int>((ref) {
  return 100;
});

3. StateNotifierProvider

// StateNotifierProvider is used to access complex mutable objects
final counter3 = StateNotifierProvider<MyCounterProvider, int>((ref) {
  return MyCounterProvider();
});

Getting data:

1. By extending ConsumerWidget

class HomePage extends ConsumerWidget {
...
...
  Widget build(BuildContext context, WidgetRef ref) {
    ...
    ...
     final counterData = ref.watch(counter);
     ...
     ...
     Text(
            '$counterData',
                ...
                ...)

  }
}

2. By Consumer widget

        Consumer(
              builder: (context, ref, child) {
                final counterData = ref.watch(counter);
                return Text(
                  '$counterData',
                  style: Theme.of(context).textTheme.headlineMedium,
                );
              },
            ),

On StateFulWidget

class HomePage3 extends ConsumerStatefulWidget {

ConsumerState<HomePage3> createState() => _HomePage3State();

class _HomePage3State extends ConsumerState<HomePage3> {

// Inside build
    final counterData = ref.watch(counter);
    ...
    ...
     Text('$counterData');
...

// Inside init state
    // Here we used 'read' not 'watch'
    final counterData = ref.read(counter);

// Updating data if using 'StateProvider'
ref.read(counter2.notifier).state++;
// or
ref.read(counter2.notifier).update((state) {
            return state + 1;
});
// or
ref.read(counter2.notifier).update((state) => state + 1);
// To reset the sate
ref.invalidate(counter2);
// or
ref.refresh(counter2);
...
// Listen the changes (Inside build)
    ref.listen(
      counter2,
      (previous, next) {
        log('Previous: $previous');
        log('Next: $next');
      },
);

ref.watch() => Observe the state inside build method to update the widgets ref.read() => To read the state onece

// If we use StateNotifierProvider
// StateNotifierProvider is used to access complex mutable objects
final counter3 = StateNotifierProvider<MyCounterProvider, int>((ref) {
  return MyCounterProvider();
});

// Our class
class MyCounterProvider extends StateNotifier<int> {
  // 248 as initial value
  MyCounterProvider() : super(248);

  void incrementCounter() {
    state++;
  }
}

// How to access data
final counterData3 = ref.watch(counter3);

// How to access functions
ref.read(counter3.notifier).incrementCounter();
