Flutter: Global Access vs Scoped Access with Provider

Read Original

This technical Flutter article discusses the drawbacks of using global singletons (like FirebaseAuth) for widget dependencies, as it harms testability and creates tight coupling. It advocates for constructor injection as a better practice but acknowledges the challenges in deep widget trees. The article introduces scoped access using the Provider package as a superior alternative for managing and injecting dependencies efficiently.
