RtProvider<T extends Object?> class

A Widget that serves as a conduit for injecting a dependency of T type into the widget tree. e.g.:

class MyApp extends StatelessWidget {
  ...
  @override
  Widget build(context) {
    return RtProvider<MyController>(
      () => MyController(),
      builder: (context, myController, child) {
        return OtherWidget();
      },
    );
  }
}

class OtherWidget extends StatelessWidget {
  ...
  @override
  Widget build(context) {
    // Get the dependency of `MyController` using the context.
    final myController = context.use<MyController>();

    return Column(
      children: [
        Text("StateA: ${myController.stateA.value}"),
        Builder(
          builder: (context){
            // Watch the `stateB` of `MyController` dependency.
            context.watch<MyController>((inst) => [inst.stateB]);

            return Text("StateB: ${myController.stateB.value}");
          },
        ),
      ],
    );
  }
}

NOTE: RtProvider is a "scoped". This mean that RtProvider exposes the instance of T dependency to second parameter(InstanceChildBuilder) through the BuildContext in the widget subtree:

In the above example, stateA remains static while the Builder is rebuilt according to the changes in stateB. Because the Builder's context kept in watch of stateB.

RECOMMENDED: Dont's use Object with constructor parameters to prevent conflicts.

Use id property to identify the T dependency. e.g.:

...
RtProvider<MyController>(
  () => MyController(),
  id: 'uniqueId,
  builder: (context, myController, child) {
    return OtherWidget();
  },
);
...
final myController = context.use<MyController>(id: 'uniqueId');
...

Use child property to pass a Widget which to be built once only. It will be sent through the builder callback, so you can incorporate it into your build:

RtProvider<MyController>(
  () => MyController(),
  child: Text("This widget build only once"),
  builder: (context, _, __) {
    final myController = context.watch<MyController>();

    return Column(
      children: [
        Text("state: ${myController.stateA.value}"),
        child,
      ],
    );
  },
)

Use init property as true to create the instance of T dependency after mounting.

NOTE: The init property is false by default. This means that the instance will be created in the mounting.

Use RtProvider.lazy contructor for creating a lazy instance of T dependency. This is particularly useful for optimizing performance by lazy-loading instance only when it is needed. e.g.:

RtProvider.lazy(
  () => MyController(),
  child: Text('Do Something'),
  builder: (context, child) {
    return ElevatedButton(
      onPressed: () {
        // The `MyController` instance is created here.
        context.use<MyController>.doSomething();
      },
      child: child,
    );
  },
),

Constructors

RtProvider(InstanceBuilder<T> instanceBuilder, {Key? key, String? id, DependencyMode mode = DependencyMode.builder, @Deprecated('This feature not working anymore, use `RtProvider.init` instead. ' 'It was deprecated after v7.2.0.') bool init = false, Widget? child, InstanceChildBuilder<T>? builder}): Creates an instance of T dependency and provides it to tree widget.
const
RtProvider.init(InstanceBuilder<T> instanceBuilder, {Key? key, String? id, DependencyMode mode = DependencyMode.builder, Widget? child, InstanceChildBuilder<T>? builder})
RtProvider.lazy(InstanceBuilder<T> instanceBuilder, {Key? key, String? id, DependencyMode mode = DependencyMode.builder, Widget? child, ChildBuilder? builder}): Creates a lazy instance of T dependency and provides it to tree widget.
