Provider Skill

This skill defines how to correctly use the provider package in Flutter applications.

---

1. Provider Types

Provider	Use for
Provider	Exposing any immutable value
ChangeNotifierProvider	Mutable state with ChangeNotifier
FutureProvider	Exposing a Future result
StreamProvider	Exposing a Stream
ProxyProvider / ChangeNotifierProxyProvider	Objects that depend on other providers

---

2. Setup

MultiProvider(
  providers: [
    Provider<Something>(create: (_) => Something()),
    ChangeNotifierProvider(create: (_) => MyNotifier()),
    FutureProvider<String>(create: (_) => fetchData(), initialData: ''),
  ],
  child: MyApp(),
)

• Use MultiProvider to group multiple providers and avoid deeply nested trees.
• ChangeNotifierProvider automatically disposes the model when it is no longer needed.
