I have a FloatingActionButton inside a widget tree which has a BlocProvider
from flutter_bloc. Something like this:
BlocProvider(
builder: (context) {
SomeBloc someBloc = SomeBloc();
someBloc.dispatch(SomeEvent());
return someBloc;
},
child: Scaffold(
body: ...
floatingActionButton: FloatingActionButton(
onPressed: _openFilterSchedule,
child: Icon(Icons.filter_list),
),
)
);
Which opens a modal bottom sheet:
void _openFilterSchedule() {
showModalBottomSheet<void>(
context: context,
builder: (BuildContext context) {
return TheBottomSheet();
},
);
}
I am trying to access SomeBloc
using BlocProvider.of<SomeBloc>(context)
inside TheBottomSheet
but I get the following error:
BlocProvider.of() called with a context that does not contain a Bloc of type SomeBloc.
I have tried to use the solution described in https://stackoverflow.com/a/56533611/2457045 but only works for BottomSheet
and not ModalBottomSheet
.
Note: This is not restricted to BlocProvider
or flutter_bloc
. Any Provider from the provider package has the same behaviour.
How can I access BlocProvider.of<SomeBloc>(context)
inside the showModalBottomSheet
?
In case it's not possible to do that, how to adapt https://stackoverflow.com/a/56533611/2457045 solution to Modal Bottom Sheet?
InheritedWidgets, and therefore Providers, are scoped to the widget tree. They cannot be accessed outside of that tree.
The thing is, using showDialog
and similar functions, the dialog is located in a different widget tree – which may not have access to the desired provider.
It is therefore necessary to add the desired providers in that new widget tree:
void myShowDialog() {
final myModel = Provider.of<MyModel>(context, listen: false);
showDialog(
context: context,
builder: (_) {
return Provider.value(value: myModel, child: SomeDialog());
},
);
}
You should split Scaffold widget and its children, to another StatefulWidget
From single Widget
class MainScreen extends StatelessWidget {
@override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
return BlocProvider(
builder: (context) {
SomeBloc someBloc = SomeBloc();
someBloc.dispatch(SomeEvent());
return someBloc;
},
child: Scaffold(
body: ...
floatingActionButton: FloatingActionButton(
onPressed: _openFilterSchedule,
child: Icon(Icons.filter_list),
),
)
);
}
}
Splitted into these two widget
class MainScreen extends StatelessWidget {
@override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
return BlocProvider(
builder: (context) {
SomeBloc someBloc = SomeBloc();
someBloc.dispatch(SomeEvent());
return someBloc;
},
child: Screen(),
);
}
}
and ..
class Screen extends StatelessWidget {
void _openFilterSchedule() {
showModalBottomSheet<void>(
context: context,
builder: (BuildContext context) {
return TheBottomSheet();
},
);
}
@override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
return Scaffold(
body: ...
floatingActionButton: FloatingActionButton(
onPressed: _openFilterSchedule,
child: Icon(Icons.filter_list),
),
);
}
}
