ValueNotifier<T> class
A ChangeNotifier that holds a single value.
When value is replaced with a new value that is not equal to the old
value as evaluated by the equality operator (==), this class notifies its
listeners.
Limitations
Notifications are triggered based on equality (==), not on mutations
within the value itself. As a result, changes to mutable objects that do not
affect their equality will not cause listeners to be notified.
For example, a ValueNotifier<List<int>> will not notify listeners when
the contents of the existing list are modified in-place; it only notifies
when a new value is assigned to the value property (i.e. value = newValue),
where equality is determined by ==.
Because of this behavior, ValueNotifier is best used with immutable data types.
For mutable data types, consider extending ChangeNotifier directly and calling notifyListeners manually when changes occur.

Methods
-
addListener(
VoidCallback listener) → void -
Register a closure to be called when the object changes.
inherited
-
dispose(
) → void -
Discards any resources used by the object. After this is called, the
object is not in a usable state and should be discarded (calls to
addListener will throw after the object is disposed).
inherited
-
noSuchMethod(
Invocation invocation) → dynamic -
Invoked when a nonexistent method or property is accessed.
inherited
-
notifyListeners(
) → void -
Call all the registered listeners.
inherited
-
removeListener(
VoidCallback listener) → void -
Remove a previously registered closure from the list of closures that are
notified when the object changes.
inherited
-
toString(
) → String -
A string representation of this object.

Operators
-
operator ==(
Object other) → bool -
The equality operator.
