Best tutorial on freezed! Keep it up

[@varunbhalerao1106]

These are amazing videos keep up the great work!! Excited for your next riverpod videos regarding architecture and firebase integration. Definitely recommending this to my college friends doing flutter amazing explaination

[@FunwithFlutter]

Sick thank you. More vids are on the way once I have time

[@BrendansReasons]

thank you. practical

[@clll4870]

Thanks for the great video series!! Would you mind pointing me in the right direction or making a video on the app architecture setup that you use with riverpod & freezed?

[@FunwithFlutter]

Great idea. Will definitely do this

[@aimnblbol]

Thanks for this tutorial. It was really helpfull. Can you do Riverpod with Firestore. Thanks

[@Live2race98]

Great video series! I have a quick question. Can Riverpod be used with animations or are stateful widgets necessary?

[@FunwithFlutter]

Technically yes, but I wouldn't. Use Riverpod for state you want to manage outside of your widgets. Animations are state that relate to the UI, keep them in your widgets

[@RaymondAtivie]

Great video! thank you so much! learnt alot. Quick question, why would i not rather stick with AsyncValue instead of creating my own unions?

[@RaymondAtivie]

Never mmind, you answered my question two seconds later 😅

[@FunwithFlutter]

Only create your own Unions if you want to create something custom.

[@FunwithFlutter]

Whoops. Great!

[@kemids2842]

wow! can you make more riverpod tutorials with firebase please

[@FunwithFlutter]

That is coming up!

[@kemids2842]

@@FunwithFlutter omg!

[@7mada89]

Should I use Freezed instead of vscode extension (Dart Data Class Generator).

[@FunwithFlutter]

Freezed gives a couple of bonus stuff (Unions, deep copy) that Dart Class Generator doesn't. But to each their own.

flutter navigation 2.0 please 🙂

[@FunwithFlutter]

That was a fast comment lol. Ugh I still need to wrap my head around Navigator 2.0. Seems like it's mostly needed for URLs.

[@_birdy_birdy]

@@FunwithFlutter Actually I like your teaching style it helps me a lot. I was waiting for your new video (the only place I can reach you 😅) to ask for a video on new navigation. Take your time 😊whenever you can make a video.
