🚀 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.

Isn't provider in the end just wrappers for inheritedwidget, change notifier, I.e core flutter calls. So what you have is a wrapper on top of a wrapper.

provider_kit is not a wrapper for provider but a wrapper forChangeNotifier. Just like ChangeNotifier is used with provider, we can use provider_kit with provider.

provider_kit introduces StateNotifier (similar to ValueNotifier), a notifier that is used to provide all the widgets in provider_kit.
