Error: Type 'SingleChildCloneableWidget' not found in Provider package

Question

I updated Provider. Now it's not working

List globalProviders = [ ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ lib/di/global_providers.dart:18:6: Error: Type 'SingleChildCloneableWidget' not found.

Code

List<SingleChildCloneableWidget> globalProviders = [
  ...independentServices,
  ...dependentServices,
];

List<SingleChildCloneableWidget> independentServices = [
  Provider.value(value: YelloChatDb()),
  Provider.value(value: YelloChatClient()),
];

List<SingleChildCloneableWidget> dependentServices = [
  ProxyProvider<YelloChatDb, CategoryDao>(
      update: (context, yelloChatDb, categoryDao) => CategoryDao(yelloChatDb)),

  ProxyProvider<YelloChatDb, SubCategoryDao>(
      update: (context, yelloChatDb,subCategoryDao) => SubCategoryDao(yelloChatDb)),

  ProxyProvider<YelloChatDb, UserDao>(
    update: (context, yelloChatDb, userdAO) => UserDao(yelloChatDb),
  ),

  ProxyProvider<YelloChatDb, EnquiriesDao>(
    update: (context, yelloChatDb, enquiriesDao) => EnquiriesDao(yelloChatDb),
  ),

  ProxyProvider<YelloChatClient, CategoryService>(

          CategoryService.create(yelloChatClient.chopperClient),
      dispose: (context, categoryService) => categoryService.client.dispose()),

          CategoriesRepository(categoryDao: categoryDao, categoryService: categoryService)),

  ProxyProvider2<UserDao, CategoryService, UserRepository>(
      update: (context, userDao, categoryService, categoryRepository)=>
          UserRepository(userDao: userDao, categoryService: categoryService)
  ),

  ProxyProvider2<SubCategoryDao, CategoryService, SubCategoriesRepository>(
      update: (context, subCategoryDao, categoryService, subCategoryRepository) =>
          SubCategoriesRepository(categoryDao: subCategoryDao, categoryService: categoryService)),

  ProxyProvider2<EnquiriesDao, CategoryService, EnquiriesRepository>(
      update: (context, enquiriesDao, categoryService, enquiriesRepository) =>
          EnquiriesRepository(enquriesDao: enquiriesDao, categoryService: categoryService))
];

Answer 1

From Provider v4.0.0

The SingleChildCloneableWidget interface is removed, and replaced by a SingleChildWidget interface and two implementations:

• SingleChildStatelessWidget
• SingleChildStatefulWidget

MultiProvider will accept a SingleChildWidget instead of SingleChildCloneableWidget.
