overrideWith method
Override the provider with a new initialization function.
This will also disable the auto-scoping mechanism, meaning that if the
overridden provider specified dependencies
, it will have no effect.
The override must not specify a dependencies
.
Some common use-cases are:
- testing, by replacing a service with a fake implementation, or to reach a very specific state easily.
- multiple environments, by changing the implementation of a class based on the platform or other parameters.
This function should be used in combination with ProviderScope.overrides
or ProviderContainer.overrides
:
final myService = Provider((ref) => MyService());
runApp(
ProviderScope(
overrides: [
// Replace the implementation of the provider with a different one
myService.overrideWithProvider((ref) {
ref.watch('other');
return MyFakeService(),
})),
],
child: MyApp(),
),
);
Implementation
Override overrideWith(
// ignore: deprecated_member_use_from_same_package
R Function(StateProviderRef<R> ref, Arg arg) create,
) {
return FamilyOverrideImpl<R, Arg, StateProvider<R>>(
this,
(arg) => StateProvider<R>.internal(
(ref) => create(ref, arg),
from: from,
argument: arg,
dependencies: null,
allTransitiveDependencies: null,
debugGetCreateSourceHash: null,
name: null,
),
);
