Foundations Course - October 2022 Update

This update brings the course up to date with Flutter 3.3, GoRouter 5.0 and Riverpod 2.0.

CHANGELOG

Updated the initial starter project to Flutter 3.3 and Dart 2.18

Lesson 01.06 onwards:

• flutter_lints is now listed under dev_dependencies
• updated IPHONEOS_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET to 11.0 on iOS and macOS projects
• updated backgroundColor and foregroundColor properties when working with ElevatedButton (since Flutter 3.3)
• use {super.key} in all the widget constructors (supported since Dart 2.18) → these changes have been applied to all the code snapshots, but many video lessons will still show the old {Key? key} syntax

Use GoRouter 5.x

Lesson 02.03:

• Installed go_router: 5.0.1
• Use new routerConfig argument of MaterialApp.router (supported since Flutter 3.3)

Lesson 02.13:

• Pending GoRouter 5.1 release: update with additional references to the stateful nested navigation feature

Lesson 05.21:

• redirect function now takes an additional BuildContext argument

Lesson 05.22:

• Added GoRouterRefreshStream class to be used with refreshListenable

Use Riverpod 2.x

Lesson 04.03:

• Installed flutter_riverpod: 2.0.0-dev.9
• Due to this issue, the course project doesn't use the official Riverpod 2.0 release yet. I'll update relevant lessons when this is fixed

Lesson 04.09:

• Updated to clarify how to cache results with Riverpod 2.0 using the keepAlive method

Lessons 08.11 and 08.25:

• Updated notes to reflect the breaking changes introduced by Riverpod 2.0 (AsyncError syntax and removal of overrideWithValue from most providers)

Lessons 12.05, 12.06:

• Replace cacheTime with keepAlive()

Other Minor Changes

Lesson 02.12:

• Updated to clarify how to deal with "Don't use a BuildContext across an asynchronous gap" warning
