I'm migrating my whole app to riverpods and encountered one lasting error. Essentially, in my main.dart I used to have Provider.value such that:
final adState = AdState(initialization: adsInitialization);
runApp(
Provider.value(
value: adState,
child: MyApp(email, password, language),
),
);
'''
And now I have
runApp(ProviderScope(
child: MyApp(email, password, language),
));
As specified in the riverpods docs. I was wondering what needs to be modified to pass the adstate 'value' like before? I'm a bit confused of what the Provider.value even did in the first place...
Here's the error I get
flutter: Error: Could not find the correct Provider<UserSettings> above this HomePage Widget
This happens because you used a `BuildContext` that does not include the provider
of your choice. There are a few common scenarios:
- You added a new provider in your `main.dart` and performed a hot-reload.
To fix, perform a hot-restart.
- The provider you are trying to read is in a different route.
Providers are "scoped". So if you insert of provider inside a route, then
other routes will not be able to access that provider.
- You used a `BuildContext` that is an ancestor of the provider you are trying to read.
Make sure that HomePage is under your MultiProvider/Provider<UserSettings>.
This usually happens when you are creating a provider and trying to read it immediately.
Any help is appreciated thank you!
The Riverpod equivalent of Provider<AdState>.value(value: adState) would be Provider<AdState>((ref) => adState). However, I would initialize the instance inside of the provider as such.
final adState = Provider<AdState>((ref) {
return AdState(initialization: adsInitialization);
});
