Riverpod Community Extensions

Useful extensions on ref types for Riverpod.

Ref types are the way to interact with providers in Riverpod. They are built to be composable and flexible. This package provides some useful extensions on ref types to make them even more powerful and easily add common functionalities on your providers, such as auto-refreshing for example.

Features 🚀

This package adds the following methods to ref types:

• cacheFor on AutoDisposeRef - Prevents the provider from being disposed for the specified duration.

• cacheDataFor on AutoDisposeFutureProviderRef - Keeps the data of the future provider for the specified duration.

• debounce on AutoDisposeFutureProviderRef - Wait for a specified duration before calling the provider's computation, and cancel the previous call if a new one is made.

• autoRefresh on AutoDisposeRef - Refreshes the value at a specified interval. Useful for scenarios where periodic updates of a provider's value are required.

• refreshWhenReturningToForeground on AutoDisposeRef - Refreshes the provider's value each time the app returns to the foreground, ensuring the data is always up to date after returning to the app.

• refreshWhenNetworkAvailable on AutoDisposeFutureProviderRef - Automatically refresh the provider when the network is available if it has error state. Uses the package connectivity_plus.
