hooks_riverpod 0.12.1

hooks_riverpod: ^0.12.1 copied to clipboard

• Fixed an remaining memory leak related to StreamProvider (see also https://github.com/rrousselGit/river_pod/issues/193)

• Breaking FutureProvider and StreamProvider no-longer supports null as a valid value.
• Fixed a memory leak with StreamProvider (see also https://github.com/rrousselGit/river_pod/issues/193)
• Fixed an error message typo related to Consumer

• Fixed a bug where providers (usually ScopedProviders) did not dispose correctly (see also https://github.com/rrousselGit/river_pod/issues/154).

• Fixed a bug where hot-reload did not work for ConsumerWidget/Consumer

• package:hooks_riverpod/hooks_riverpod.dart now exports StateNotifier
• Marked the providers with @sealed so that the IDE warns against implementing/subclassing providers.
• Fix mistakes in AsyncValue.guard's documentation (thanks @mono0926)
• Loosened the version constraints of freezed_annotation to support 0.12.0

• Fixed invalid version error

• Fixed a bug where the state of a provider may be disposed when it shouldn't be disposed.

• Added a way to import the implementation class of providers with modifiers, such as AutoDisposeProvider.

  This is useful if you want to use Riverpod with the lint always_specify_types:

  import 'package:hooks_riverpod/all.dart';
  
  final AutoDisposeStateProvider<int> counter = StateProvider.autoDispose<int>((ProviderReference ref) {
    return 0;
  });
  

  If you do not use this lint, prefer using the default import instead, to not pollute your auto-complete.

• Unexported some classes that were not meant to be public

• Breaking Updating ProviderListener so that onChange receives the BuildContext as parameter (thanks to @tbm98)

• Renamed ProviderContainer.debugProviderStates to ProviderContainer.debugProviderElements
• Fixed a bug where updating ProviderScope.overrides may cause an exception for no reason (see https://github.com/rrousselGit/river_pod/issues/107)

Fixed a bug that prevented the use of ConsumerWidget under normal circumstances

• Fixed a bug where in release mode, ScopedProvider did not update correctly (https://github.com/rrousselGit/river_pod/issues/101)

• Breaking: Consumer is slightly modified to match other Builders like ValueListenableBuilder. Before:

  return Consumer((context, watch) {
    final value = watch(myProvider);
    return Text('$value');
  });
  

  after:

  return Consumer(
    builder: (context, watch, child) {
      final value = watch(myProvider);
      return Text('$value');
    },
  );
  

• Added a ConsumerWidget class which can be extended to make a StatelessWidget that can read providers:

  class MyWidget extends ConsumerWidget {
    const MyWidget({Key key}) : super(key: key);
  
    @override
    Widget build(BuildContext context, ScopedReader watch) {
      final value = watch(myProvider);
      return Text('$value');
    }
  }
  

• ref.watch on non ".autoDispose" providers can no-longer read ".autoDispose" providers.

• ScopedProvider now accepts null as a function:

  final example = ScopedProvider<int>(null);
  

  Which is equivalent to:

  final example = ScopedProvider<int>((watch) => throw UnimplementedError(''));
  

• Fixed a bug where context.refresh may not work properly if the widget tree contains multiple ProviderScope.

• Fixed a bug where when disposing ProviderContainer, providers may be disposed in an incorrect order.
• Improved the performances of reading providers by 25%

• Merged Computed and Provider. Now, all providers have the ability to rebuild their state when one of the object they listen changed.

  To migrate, change:

  final provider = Provider(...);
  final example = Computed((watch) {
    final value = watch(provider);
    return value;
  });
  

  into:

  final provider = Provider(...);
  final example = Provider((ref) {
    final value = ref.watch(provider);
    return value;
  });
  

• Computed (now Provider) no-longer deeply compare collections to avoid rebuilds. Comparing the content of lists is quite expensive and actually rarely useful. Now, a simple == comparison is used.

• Renamed ProviderStateOwner to ProviderContainer

• Renamed ProviderStateOwnerObserver to ProviderObserver

• It is no-longer possible to override a provider anywhere in the widget tree. Providers can only be overriden in the top-most ProviderScope/ProviderContainer.

• Providers can now read values which may change over time using ref.read and ref.watch. When using ref.watch, if the value obtained changes, this will cause the provider to re-create its state.

• It is no-longer possible to add ProviderObserver anywhere in the widget tree. They can be added only on the top-most ProviderScope/ProviderContainer.

• Provider.read(BuildContext) is changed into context.read(provider), and can now read Provider.autoDispose.

• Added ProviderContainer.refresh(provider) and context.refresh(provider). These method allows forcing the refresh of a provider, which can be useful for things like "retry on error" or "pull to refresh".

• ref.read(StreamProvider<T>) no-longer returns a Stream<T> but an AsyncValue<T> Before:

  final streamProvider = StreamProvider<T>(...);
  final example = Provider((ref) {
    Stream<T> stream = ref.read(streamProvider);
  });
  

  After:

  final streamProvider = StreamProvider<T>(...);
  final example = Provider((ref) {
    Stream<T> stream = ref.watch(streamProvider.steam);
  });
  

• ref.read(FutureProvider<T>) no-longer returns a Future<T> but an AsyncValue<T>

  Before:

  final futureProvider = FutureProvider<T>(...);
  final example = Provider((ref) {
    Future<T> future = ref.read(futureProvider);
  });
  

  After:

  final futureProvider = FutureProvider<T>(...);
  final example = Provider((ref) {
    Future<T> future = ref.watch(futureProvider.future);
  });
  

• Removed ref.dependOn. You can now use ref.read/ref.watch to acheive the same effect.

  Before:

  final streamProvider = StreamProvider<T>(...);
  final example = Provider((ref) {
    Future<T> last = ref.dependOn(streamProvider).last;
  });
  

  After:

  final streamProvider = StreamProvider<T>(...);
  final example = Provider((ref) {
    Future<T> last = ref.watch(streamProvider.last);
  });
  

• Provider.readOwner(ProviderStateOwner) is changed into ProviderContainer.read(Provider)

• Provider.watchOwner(ProviderStateOwner, (value) {}) is changed into:

  ProviderContainer container;
  final provider = Provider((ref) => 0);
  
  final subscription = container.listen(
    provider,
    mayHaveChanged: (sub) {},
    didChange: (sub) {}.
  );
  
  subscription.close();
  

• MyProvider.family.autoDispose now correctly free both the arguments and the associated providers from memory when the provider is no-longer listened.

• Added ScopedProvider, a new kind of provider that can be overriden anywhere in the widget tree. Normal providers cannot read a ScopedProvider.

• Added ProviderListener, a widget which allows listening to a provider without rebuilding the widget-tree. This can be useful for showing modals and pushing routes.

• Fixed the documentation of StateNotifierProvider incorrectly showing the documentation of StreamProvider.
• Improve the documentation of StateProvider.

• Changed ComputedFamily into Computed.family
• Added [AsyncValue.guard](https://pub.dev/documentation/riverpod/latest/all/AsyncValue/guard.html to simplify transforming a Future into an AsyncValue.
• Improved the documentation of the different providers

Changed the syntax of "AutoDispose*" and "*Family" to use a syntax similar to named constructors instead.

Before:

final myProvider = AutoDisposeStateNotifierProviderFamily<MyStateNotifier, int>((ref, id) {
  return MyStateNotifier(id: id);
});

After:

final myProvider = StateNotifierProvider.autoDispose.family<MyStateNotifier, int>((ref, id) {
  return MyStateNotifier(id: id);
});

The behavior is the same. Only the syntax changed.

• Loosen the version constraint of flutter_hooks used to support latest versions.

• Added AsyncValue.whenData, syntax sugar for AsyncValue.when to handle only the data case and do nothing for the error/loading cases.

• Fixed a bug that caused [Computed] to crash if it stopped being listened then was listened again.

• useProvider no longer throws an UnsupportedError when the provider listened changes, and correctly listen to the new provider.

• Computed and Consumer now correctly unsubscribe to a provider when their function stops using a provider.

• ref.read is renamed as ref.dependOn
• Deprecated ref.dependOn(streamProvider).stream and ref.dependOn(futureProvider).future in favor of a universal ref.dependOn(provider).value.
• added ref.read(provider), syntax sugar for ref.dependOn(provider).value.
