Introduction

Welcome to the Riverpod Counter App! This is a simple Flutter application demonstrating state management using Riverpod, an alternative to the popular Provider package for managing state in Flutter apps.

Features

• 🛠 Built with Flutter and Riverpod.
• 🚀 Simple counter functionality to demonstrate state management.
• 👀 Clean separation of logic and UI using StateProvider and ConsumerWidget.

Getting Started

1. Clone this repository:

   git clone https://github.com/tech-ramakant/counter_app_with_riverpod.git
   cd counter_app_with_riverpod

2. Install the required dependencies:

   flutter pub get

3. Run the app:

   flutter run

Dependencies

This app uses the following packages:

• flutter_riverpod: The state management solution powering this app.
• flutter: The core framework for building natively compiled applications for mobile, web, and desktop.

To add these dependencies, ensure you have the following in your pubspec.yaml:

dependencies:
  flutter:
    sdk: flutter
  flutter_riverpod: ^2.0.0

Code Overview

State Management The state is managed by Riverpod's StateProvider. This ensures that the app remains performant and easy to manage, regardless of its size and complexity.

Here’s a quick breakdown of the main components:

1. counterProvider:

final counterProvider = StateProvider<int>((ref) => 0);

A simple state provider that initializes the counter to 0 and can be updated.

2. ConsumerWidget:

class CounterApp extends ConsumerWidget {

The ConsumerWidget allows the UI to listen for changes in the counterProvider and update accordingly.

3. UI Updates:

   final count = ref.watch(counterProvider);

This line allows the widget to reactively display the current state of the counter.

4. Updating State:

   ref.read(counterProvider.notifier).state++;

This method increments the counter by updating the provider's state.
