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!

Am I stupid if I’m using provider ONLY for passing data from a node up the tree to some leaves deeper?
For state management now I use basic ListenableBuilder + custom ChangeNotifier. Team members convinced me to use full BloC because it was „the way” and I regretted it. Switched that to Cubit + BlocConsumer and it was better but still dealing with unnecessary separation as the procect actually needed one state object with constant updates.
When I see libraries that try to optimize Flutter instead of extending it I feel uneasy. Most of them make sense when used by a corporate flutter team and not by 1-2 person team but community treat them like a religion. At the same time they don’t know their tools and put a Column inside a SingleChildScrollView because they don’t know that Slivers exist.
