Provider Counter

The starter Flutter application, but using Provider to manage state.

This app is a direct counterpart to the simple counter application that you get when you create a new Flutter project. That one uses a StatefulWidget to manage application state. The version in this repository uses a simple app state management approach, Provider.

It shows how you might deal with state that is modified from outside the app (for example, state synchronized over network) and which needs to be accessed and changed from different parts of your app.

Getting Started

The only important part of the app is the lib/main.dart file. It has comments that will walk you through it.

For more information on the provider package (where Provider comes from), please see the package documentation.
