Thoughts on bloc for flutter?

Question

Building a new social media app using flutter. Friends have been telling me to use bloc from start. I think its too much boilerplate code. Thoughts? Would love to get an opinion from flutter expert :)

@al_italian thanks for the inputs, from the research I have done so far seems that for rapid prototyping its better to use provider and later use bloc if needed, else it might take longer due to the learning curve, as well as the boiler plate code and complexity

@al_italian @sushrut_chafadker tbh, Starting with "Provider" for rapid prototyping is wise. Later, consider "bloc" if needed. Avoid the learning curve and complexity now. Besides, you can scale up when required. Happy coding! 🚀👍

Micheal · Answer

Using "bloc" in Flutter for your social media app is a valid choice, but it depends on your project's complexity and your personal preferences.

bloc separates concerns, enhances testability, and supports scalability. However, consider simpler solutions like "Provider" or "GetX" for less complex apps.
