Thanks for using CodeRabbit! It's free for OSS, and your support helps us grow. If you like it, consider giving us a shout-out.
A rabbit calls a provider to start,
A scope holds its value, not its heart.
Lazy roots wake when asked to appear,
Old mocks step aside for new ones here.
Dependencies untangle, cycles take flight,
And logs hop along through the night.

@nank1ro I was partially assisted by Claude Opus for this PR. Multiple changes were made, not only what is in the title. The easiest way to understand all is to read the commit messages for every commit. Note that #32 introduced this issue #39. That part had to be rewritten differently. Good news: there is no global state anymore at all. Actually, what was very nice of Claude (Opus 5 High) is that it detected the global state and wanted to replace it with a better alternative, which solved the issue. All providers were made lazy because with eager evaluation there is the problem that if the provider is eager, it will be created even in presence of a mock. This really defeats the idea of providers. There is a workaround to have them eager, which is to inject the provider immediately (a bit like what riverpod does). Another change is now the values of the normal providers (i.e., without argument) are injected like this: Claude recommended using: instead of However, I am not fully sure about that. You are more the expert in this area. Do you think the suggestion is good, or should I revert this part? |

Inline comments:
In `@docs/src/content/docs/core/immutability.mdx`:
- Line 92: Update the comment describing ProviderScope’s debug-mode behavior to
state that it reports an error and continues with the original providers, rather
than saying it throws when showDetails changes.
In `@docs/src/content/docs/core/provider-retrieval-process.mdx`:
- Line 21: Update the complexity aside in the provider retrieval process
documentation to distinguish the O(1) lookup within each ProviderScope from the
overall worst-case traversal cost of O(number of traversed ProviderScope
ancestors).
In `@docs/src/content/docs/core/scoped-di.mdx`:
- Around line 45-49: Update the provider invocation description in the Aside to
state that calling a provider returns the binding used to register it with
ProviderScope, rather than instantiating the provider or creating its value.
Clarify that the provider value is created lazily when injected, while
preserving the explanation about passing arguments and consistent syntax.
In `@docs/src/content/docs/core/testing.mdx`:
- Around line 8-12: Update the testing documentation around overrideWith to
state that the replacement must use the same provider kind as the provider being
overridden, including using an argument provider for Provider.withArgument;
preserve the existing explanation of override lifecycle and behavior.
In `@packages/disco/.metadata`:
- Line 10: Update the metadata configuration for the published packages/disco
package so it does not reference the example app’s lib/main.dart or
ios/Runner.xcodeproj/project.pbxproj paths. If the metadata is intended for the
Dart example app, move it to the example app’s metadata location instead.
In `@packages/disco/benchmark_results.md`:
- Around line 9-21: Regenerate packages/disco/benchmark_results.md from the
current benchmark output produced by _writeBenchmarkResults in
provider_benchmark.dart. Ensure the rows use the emitted keys, including
Register 100 providers, Create 100 provider values, Create 50 values with
dependencies, Retrieve 100 provider values, and Create 100 ArgProvider values,
and remove the obsolete Mixed lazy and eager (100 total) entry; commit the
updated generated results.
In `@packages/disco/CHANGELOG.md`:
- Line 4: Update the changelog entry to state that overrideWithValue is
deprecated rather than removed, and recommend migrating to overrideWith while
preserving the existing explanation of provider overriding behavior.
In `@packages/disco/example/lib/main.dart`:
- Around line 132-141: Update the documentation around analyticsProvider to
remove the ProviderForwardReferenceError reference. Either remove this
forward-reference example or describe only the requirement that loggerProvider
precede analyticsProvider in the providers list, without mentioning the removed
exception.
In `@packages/disco/lib/src/models/override.dart`:
- Around line 3-5: Update the dartdoc description in the override configuration
declaration to change “an mock provider” to “a mock provider,” without altering
the surrounding documentation.
In `@packages/disco/lib/src/models/providers/provider.dart`:
- Around line 72-81: The removed overrideWithValue API must remain available as
deprecated wrappers for gradual migration. In
packages/disco/lib/src/models/providers/provider.dart:72-81, add deprecated
overrideWithValue(T value) forwarding through overrideWith(Provider<T>((_) =>
value)); in packages/disco/lib/src/models/providers/arg_provider.dart:34-38, add
the equivalent deprecated wrapper forwarding through
overrideWith(Provider.withArgument<T, A>((_, _) => value)).
In `@packages/disco/pubspec.yaml`:
- Line 14: Update the Flutter SDK constraint in the pubspec configuration to the
lowest released version supported by the package, unless Disco depends on APIs
introduced in Flutter 3.38.0; if that dependency is intentional, document the
specific requirement instead. Preserve compatibility with the workspace
packages’ broader constraints.
In `@packages/disco/test/disco_test.dart`:
- Around line 2134-2138: Update the comment above the second buildTree call to
replace the stale “InstantiableProviders” type name with the current
“ValueBinding” name, without changing the test behavior.

| ### Disposal order | ||
|
|
||
| Because the values are created lazily, a value is always created *after* the values it depends on. When a `ProviderScope` is disposed, its values are therefore disposed in the reverse order of creation, so that a value is always disposed *before* its own dependencies. This means that the `dispose` of a provider can safely use the values it injected in its `create`. |

Correct the role of top-level providers.
An unoverridden plain provider is its own intermediate provider, as the table on Line 49 states. It can therefore create and dispose its value. Replace “never used to create anything” with a description that distinguishes plain providers from argument providers and overridden providers. (raw.githubusercontent.com)

Remove the incorrect compile-error claim.
When MockModel extends Model, Dart permits Provider<MockModel> where Provider<Model> is expected. The explicit type can clarify the example, but omitting it does not cause the stated compile error. (dart.dev)

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win
Logger.log does not schedule a frame, so some log entries appear late.
addPostFrameCallback does not request a frame. It only runs the callback at the end of the next frame, if one occurs.
Outside a frame, nothing may trigger that next frame. One example is the "Inject the analytics again" button on LazinessPage. It only calls analyticsProvider.of(context).track(...). No widget rebuilds, so notifyListeners does not run and LogPanel does not show "Analytics: button pressed". The message appears only after an unrelated frame.
Request a frame together with the callback.

The explanation of the logger creation contradicts the code.
The text says the logger was created at startup "only because MainApp injects it right below the app-wide scope." MainApp does not inject it. It registers loggerProvider(lazy: false), and the scope creates the value when it mounts. The comment above loggerProvider also points to MainApp for this behavior.
This page demonstrates lazy creation. The wrong explanation teaches the wrong mechanism. Describe the lazy: false option instead.

Replace __ with _ to satisfy unnecessary_underscores.
The package requires Dart ^3.10.0, so wildcard parameters are available. A lambda can therefore declare _ more than once. very_good_analysis added the unnecessary_underscores rule in 8.0.0, and the package uses ^10.0.0. That rule flags (_, __). The repository treats every lint warning as an error, so this line fails analysis.
Also update the dartdoc on Line 48 and the @Deprecated message on Line 51. Both show __ as the recommended migration.

…data Ignore the build directory in the analyzer, and add the .gitignore and .metadata files generated by Flutter for the package.
Providers are now inserted into a ProviderScope by calling them, i.e. `providers: [myProvider()]` and `[myArgProvider(arg)]`, which gives both kinds of providers the same syntax. The returned binding is a ValueBinding (formerly InstantiableProvider). Overrides replace a provider entirely instead of only its value: `provider.overrideWith(mockProvider)` takes a regular provider (or an argument provider, which receives the argument given in the widget tree), with its own create and dispose. `overrideWithValue` is deprecated. The value of a mock lives in the very same ProviderScope as the value of the original provider would have, shares its lifecycle, and the original value is never created. Mocks can inject other providers, and reusing a mock for several providers no longer shares its value. The laziness of a value can be chosen when inserting a provider into a scope (`myProvider(lazy: false)`), when defining it, or globally with DiscoConfig.lazy; the first non-null option wins, and it is resolved when the scope is mounted. Non-lazy values are created before the descendants of their scope are built. The order in which the providers of a scope are declared no longer matters: ProviderForwardReferenceError is replaced by ProviderCircularDependencyError, which reports actual cycles with the full dependency chain. Values are disposed in the reverse order of creation, and a throwing dispose no longer prevents the other values from being disposed. Changing the providers of a mounted scope is reported as an error in debug mode. The examples and the benchmark are migrated to the new syntax. BREAKING CHANGE: providers must be called when inserted into a ProviderScope, overrideWithValue is deprecated in favor of overrideWith, ProviderForwardReferenceError has been removed, and the bookkeeping of ProviderScopeState is no longer public.
The context given to `create` used to be the one of the widget that happened to inject the provider first. As a consequence, a value of an outer scope could inject the providers of a scope placed below it, which made the value depend on where it was injected first, could make it hold a value disposed before it, and made cycles span several scopes, which were then reported with an incomplete dependency chain. Every value is now created with a context placed right below its own ProviderScope. A provider therefore sees exactly the providers of its own scope and of the scopes above, and a cycle can only involve the providers of a single scope. The same holds for the other inherited widgets read in `create`, e.g. Theme.of or Navigator.of, which are now resolved where the ProviderScope is placed. BREAKING CHANGE: a provider can no longer inject a provider (or another inherited widget) placed below its own ProviderScope. For instance, a ProviderScope placed above MaterialApp can no longer see the Navigator or the Theme of the app in `create`.
Expand the example app with a page-scoped counter and dedicated demos for providers with arguments, nested scopes (the nearest scope wins), modals with ProviderScopePortal, lazy creation of the values, recreating a scope by changing its key, and missing providers (of versus maybeOf). Document the demos in the README of the example.
- Insert providers by calling them (`myProvider()`) in every page, example and the package README. - Document overrideWith, i.e. overriding whole providers, and where the value of a mock lives, in the testing and providers pages. - Document the three levels of laziness (ProviderScope, provider and DiscoConfig.lazy) and their precedence. - Explain which providers and inherited widgets a provider can inject (its own scope and the scopes above), with before/after examples for a ProviderScope placed above MaterialApp. - Document circular dependencies and the disposal order. - Document that the set of providers of a mounted scope is fixed. - Clarify that global state is possible but harder to misuse, that circular dependencies are confined to a single ProviderScope, and that Riverpod is not global per se, but its state effectively is, since its ProviderScope is recommended to be placed at the root. - Update the provider retrieval process and the installation instructions.

@nank1ro lol, your image was definitely better
- Insert the providers by calling them, i.e. `[numberProvider()]`. - Use the actual parameter name of ProviderScopePortal (`mainContext`). The dark variants are the light ones with the dark mode filter, and all diagrams still embed their editable Excalidraw scene.
Bump the version to 3.0.0, describe the changes in the CHANGELOG, and add a lower bound for the Flutter SDK.

We already have Provider((_) => X(), lazy: false) and DiscoConfig.lazy = false;
having it even in providers: [x(lazy: false)] gives uses 3 different ways to do it, since the two options above cover nearly every real use.

the idea here is that you might want to have a global default:
DiscoConfig.lazy = true;Then, specify the laziness for a specific provider:
final p = Provider((_) => X(), lazy: false)Imagine you provide a p in different subtrees of the Flutter app. But maybe you want to have a provider eagerly evaluated only for some subtree ("exception to the rule"):
providers: [p(lazy: true)]It might be a bit confusing, but this allows you to be very precise.

edit: Initial PR name was: Add option to override whole provider/argprovider. However, multiple things were added to this PR over time, making it a substantial request.
This PR attempts to solve #35.
Tl;dr: I propose to remove
overrideWithValuein favour ofoverrideWithProvider. For example, instead of:one should write
Explanation: this second variant can do everything the first variant can do. It is just more powerful, as also
lazy, a propercreateanddisposecan be specified.This is even more useful when working with argument providers, whose mocking functionality is currently not ideal IMO. At the moment, one can only override the whole argument provider, but cannot make argument distinctions. This defeats the point of argument providers. Here is how it currently is on
main:disco/packages/disco/test/disco_test.dart
Lines 728 to 753 in 738b1ea
So, we definitely need arguments. In my current implementation, they would work like this:
However, I don't think this approach is ideal. People will have to write some custom logic somewhere every time they want to use the override (because they need to use specific arguments and provide specific values for that).
We should purse this approach instead:
This way, one can just write the custom logic in
mockNumberProvider'screateanddispose, without polluting the widget tree. This is also what was asked in the linked issue.The logic for this would still have to be adapted in
ProviderScope. Before I invest time there, is this okay for you @nank1ro?Right now, I added sealed classes and pattern matching to allow both
overrideWithValueandoverrideWithProvider, but if we get rid of the former, we don't need the sealed classes and pattern matching anymore.Summary by CodeRabbit
