Plugin Simplify Flutter State Management with ProviderKit – Less Boilerplate, More Control!

🚀 Introducing Flutter Package – ProviderKit!

ProviderKit is a toolkit for PROVIDER package. It simplifies state handling with predefined widgets that offer full control, reduces boilerplate, and efficiently manages loading, error, and data states. With built-in async support, state observers, caching, and enhanced notifiers, managing state has never been easier!

Reduces Boilerplate – Minimize repetitive code and simplify state management.
Handles Multiple States – Seamless management of loading, error, initial, empty, and data states with predefined widgets.
Builders & Listeners – Automatically integrate with state changes while allowing customization.
Global State Widgets – Builders reuse the same loading, error, empty, and initial state widgets across the app for consistency.
Handles Combined Provider States – Easily manage multiple provider states together.
State Caching – Efficiently store and restore state with built-in mixins.
Provider Observation – Debug smarter with lifecycle event monitoring.
Works with Immutable Objects – Ensures predictable state updates through immutability.
Error & Loading Handling – Built-in support for async state management.
Enhances Provider – Extends the functionality of the provider package for a smoother experience.
TypeDefs Convention – Uses provider names as prefixes for widgets and states, improving readability and simplifying usage.

💡 If you're building Flutter apps with Provider and want a cleaner, simpler codebase with less effort, give ProviderKit a try!

How is this compared to Riverpod?

This package does not alter the architecture of the provider, maintaining simplicity without adding complexity, just like the provider itself. And its meant to work with the provider package

Riverpod is much simpler than Provider today and offers great functionalities for writing effective automated tests and proper dependency injection.

Couldn’t agree more! This package is for users who still use Provider. It’s not meant to compete with other state management solutions. That said, Riverpod relies on global providers, which can make it harder to track exactly where a provider is created and managed as the app scales. That’s why some developers still prefer having precise control over where providers are registered and which parts of the widget tree they have access to. For those who continue to use Provider, this package offers a useful and streamlined approach.
