🐰 Migrating Providers, step by step we go
From old to new, with Riverpod's gentle flow
One provider at a time, no need to race
Code transformation with a bunny's grace!
Hop along the migration trail, so bright 🌈

Chat

There are 3 ways to chat with CodeRabbit:

  • Review comments: Directly reply to a review comment made by CodeRabbit. Example:
    • I pushed a fix in commit <commit_id>, please review it.
    • Generate unit testing code for this file.
    • Open a follow-up GitHub issue for this discussion.
  • Files and specific lines of code (under the "Files changed" tab): Tag @coderabbitai in a new review comment at the desired location with your query. Examples:
    • @coderabbitai generate unit testing code for this file.
    • @coderabbitai modularize this function.
  • PR comments: Tag @coderabbitai in a new PR comment to ask questions about the PR branch. For the best results, please provide a very specific query, as very limited context is provided in this mode. Examples:
    • @coderabbitai gather interesting stats about this repository and render them as a table. Additionally, render a pie chart showing the language distribution in the codebase.
    • @coderabbitai read src/utils.ts and generate unit testing code.
    • @coderabbitai read the files in the src/scheduler package and generate a class diagram using mermaid and a README in the markdown format.
    • @coderabbitai help me debug CodeRabbit configuration file.

Note: Be mindful of the bot's finite context window. It's strongly recommended to break down tasks such as reading entire modules into smaller chunks. For a focused discussion, use review comments to chat about specific files and their changes, instead of using the PR comments.

55-58: Enhance the tip with a code example.

The tip effectively warns about a common migration pitfall. To make it even more helpful, consider adding:

  1. A code example showing the incorrect vs correct usage:
+ ```dart
+ // ❌ Wrong - Riverpod's ChangeNotifierProvider doesn't have create
+ import 'package:riverpod/riverpod.dart';
+ ChangeNotifierProvider(create: (_) => MyNotifier()); // Error!
+ 
+ // ✅ Correct - Provider's ChangeNotifierProvider has create
+ import 'package:provider/provider.dart' as provider;
+ provider.ChangeNotifierProvider(create: (_) => MyNotifier());
+ ```
  1. A brief explanation of why this error occurs (different APIs between packages)

I think it'd be better to update the snippets to include imports, with prefixes.
It both suggests using prefixes and makes it cleared which package we're referring to when reading the code

Provider would probably not have a prefix during a transition. Only Riverpod will have them. is riverpod_lib a good prefix for the doc?

I'd add a prefix on the provider import.

import 'package:provider/provider.dart' as provider;
