What is difference between AutoDisposeChangeNotifierProvider vs ChangeNotifierProvider

[dyardy]

I was not familiar with AutoDisposeChangeNotifierProvider and am finding it bit challenging to find the difference. Both seem to work

// final AutoDisposeChangeNotifierProvider<ThemeModeState> themeProvider =
//     ChangeNotifierProvider.autoDispose(
//         (AutoDisposeChangeNotifierProviderRef<ThemeModeState> ref) {
//   return ThemeModeState();
// });

final themeProvider = ChangeNotifierProvider<ThemeModeState>((ref){
  return ThemeModeState();
});

Their usage is pretty much the same. From the documentation I got, that the AutoDisposeChangeNotifierProvider will destroy their state when no-longer listened to, while the ChangeNotifierProvider will keep it's last state. For that Provider.autoDispose is used. More info can be found in the Riverpod Documentation
