Why State Management?
As your Flutter app grows, managing shared state across widgets becomes tricky. State management libraries solve this.
Provider
Easy to learn, officially recommended for beginners. Great for small to medium apps.
Bloc
Strict, event-driven pattern. Best for large team projects where consistency matters.
Riverpod
Created by Provider author. Compile-safe, no BuildContext needed, and very flexible.
