How to get data from the FutureProvider in flutter

Question

I\'m trying to implement local database support in my flutter app which is being managed using Provider, now I want to make the retrieving of data obey the state management patt

Answer 1

FutureProvider exposes the result of the Future returned by builder to its descendants.

As such, using the following FutureProvider:

FutureProvider(
  initialData: 0,
  builder: (_) => Future.value(42),
  child: ...
)

it is possible to obtain the current value through:

Provider.of(context)

or:

Consumer(
  builder: (context, value, __) {
    return Text(value.toString());
  }
);
