Flutter Table Calendar Update Firestore Data

Question

I am using the Table Calendar package with flutter. Please note that I am using Firestore.

I am trying to figure out how to update the list of items instantly when the user adds or deletes items. So far I need to click on the day again to see changes. I am using setState in the onDaySelected which currently updates the data. Thanks in advance for your help.

Answer 1

That requires a more complex state management than using setState. Check the flutter_bloc package for example. You also have riverpod and one of the most simple is provider. You can find a lot of information in their apis and even online.

The packages:

• flutter_bloc
• riverpod
• proivider

There is also a complete list of all the state management packages you can use in Flutter. Here's the official list, and you also a not official list (however it is also valid!).
