refactor(flutter_bloc)!: remove package:provider

[felangel]

Status

READY

Breaking Changes

YES

Explanation

This refactor technically is a breaking change because previously it was possible to use Provider.of and context.read with bloc/cubit instances. In addition, it was previously possible to import package:provider/provider.dart as a transitive dependency.

Migration

• Provider.of<MyBloc>(context, listen: ...) -> BlocProvider.of<MyBloc>(context)
• context.read<MyBloc>() -> context.bloc<MyBloc>()

If you were previously importing package:provider/provider.dart please ensure it is a direct dependency by adding it to the dependencies section of your pubspec.yaml

flutter_bloc: ^6.0.6
provider: ^4.3.2+2 # make sure to add this if you directly import package:provider/provider.dart

Description

• refactor(flutter_bloc): remove package:provider from package:flutter_bloc (closes [Discussion] Maintaining Provider Dependency #712)

Feedback Wanted

You can give these changes a try by updating your pubspec.yaml

  flutter_bloc:
    git:
      url: https://github.com/felangel/bloc
      ref: refactor/remove-provider-dependency
      path: packages/flutter_bloc

There should be no noticeable difference or breaking changes unless you are using Provider.of or context.read to interact with bloc/cubit instances.

If you experience any issues please leave a comment describing the problem, thanks! 🙏
