How to Efficiently Use Flutter Hooks with ChangeNotifier for UI Updates

In Flutter development, managing state effectively is paramount, especially when building complex applications. One popular approach involves combining ChangeNotifier, a part of the Flutter provider package for state management, with Flutter Hooks, which allows for a more concise and readable way to handle state in functional-style widgets. But how do you set this up effectively, especially when you want to ensure that your UI updates automatically when your model changes?

The Challenge: Updating UI with ChangeNotifier

Imagine you have a complex model represented by a ChangeNotifier. You want to update the UI seamlessly whenever changes to this model occur. This can sometimes lead developers to feel overwhelmed or unsure if they're approaching the problem in the most optimal way. The initial setup can appear "weird," which is a common concern when first trying to integrate these two paradigms.

Initial Approach

Let's consider the following initial solution:

While this code works, there is a more elegant solution that enhances readability and optimizes performance.

The Solution: Creating a Custom Hook

To streamline process, you can create a custom hook that combines useState and useListenable. This custom hook can be called useListenableState, which allows for better management of state and ensures that your UI components respond to changes automatically.

Implementation of useListenableState

Here’s how to implement the optimized solution:

Breakdown of the Solution

Creating useListenableState: This custom hook manages the ChangeNotifier state and allows you to use it seamlessly within your hook-based widget.

Building the Widget using Hooks: Inside the build method of the Playground, you simply call useListenableState and pass your DataClass object, making it easy to access and update the state.

Automatic UI Updates: Thanks to ChangeNotifier, anytime you change the cnt property, the UI automatically reflects the change due to the notifyListeners() call.

Conclusion

Combining Flutter Hooks with ChangeNotifier enables you to manage complex state in your Flutter applications more efficiently. By creating a custom hook like useListenableState, you can simplify your code, enhance readability, and ensure that your UI stays in sync with your data model.

Give it a try and streamline your approach for a better user interface experience in your Flutter applications!
