How to get data from the FutureProvider in flutter - flutter

Question

I'm trying to implement local database support in my flutter app which is being managed using Provider, now I want to make the retrieving of data obey the state management pattern, but I've been failing to.
I've tried to make a traditional Provider to achieve this but the app got stuck in a loop of requests to the database, so after some search I found the FutureProvider, but I cant find how can I get a snapshot from the data being loaded
class _ReceiptsRouteState extends State<ReceiptsRoute> {
List<Receipt> receipts = [];
#override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
return FutureProvider(
initialData: List(),
builder: (_){
return DBProvider().receipts().then((result) {
receipts = result;
});
},
child: Scaffold(
appBar: AppBar(
title: Text(AppLocalizations.of(context).history),
),
body: Container(
child: ListView.builder(
itemBuilder: (context, position) {
final item = receipts[position];
return ListTile(
title: Text(item.date),
);
},
),
),
),
);
}
}
now my app is running as I want but not as how it should run, I used FutureBuilder to get the data from the database directly but I know it should come through the provider so I want to make it right

Answer 1

FutureProvider exposes the result of the Future returned by builder to its descendants.
As such, using the following FutureProvider:
FutureProvider<int>(
initialData: 0,
builder: (_) => Future.value(42),
child: ...
)
it is possible to obtain the current value through:
Provider.of<int>(context)
or:
Consumer<int>(
builder: (context, value, __) {
return Text(value.toString());
}
);

Answer 2

In my example I used the create parameter of FutureProvider to request the API, then then I used Consumer to get the results of the API.
FutureProvider(
create: (_) => peopleService.getAllSurvivor(),
child: Consumer<List<Survivor>>(builder: (context, survivors, _) {
return survivors == null
? Center(child: CircularProgressIndicator())
: ListView.builder(
itemCount: survivors.length,
itemBuilder: (context, index) {
var survivor = survivors[index];
return ListTile(
title: Text(survivor.name),
subtitle: Text(survivor.gender),
leading: Icon(Icons.perm_identity),
);
},
);
})));
