How does this skill help with Flutter app performance?

It provides implementation patterns like Consumer, Selector, and granular dependency watching to ensure only the necessary widgets rebuild when specific state changes.

When should I use setState() instead of a state management package?

Use setState() for ephemeral state local to a single widget, such as animation progress or internal form field validation, where data doesn't need to be shared across screens.

Can I use multiple state management solutions in one app?

Yes, this skill provides guidance on coexistence and gradual migration, allowing you to use different patterns for different feature modules based on their specific needs.

Which is better: BLoC or Riverpod?

It depends on your requirements. BLoC is ideal for strict, event-driven enterprise architectures with clear audit trails, while Riverpod offers superior type safety and flexibility without BuildContext dependencies.

Acerca de

This skill provides expert guidance on managing application state within Flutter, helping developers transition from simple local state with setState() to complex architectural patterns like BLoC and Riverpod. It offers a structured decision-making framework to select the right tool based on application complexity, ensures proper separation of concerns between business logic and UI, and provides implementation patterns for reactive data flows. Whether you are handling ephemeral widget state or global app state, this skill provides the architectural best practices needed for scalable, testable, and performant Flutter applications.
