Introduction :
Riverpod is also a state management solution in a flutter. It a basically a Provider, but of a different type. It has some advantages over a provider in that it is compile safe, does not have any limitation as a provider have and does not also depend on flutter. Riverpod support multiple providers of the same type, combining asynchronous provider, adding providers from anywhere.

Using Provider in Riverpod to build UI
Using StateProvider in Riverpod to change state of UI
Setup:
Before starting let us first start with the basics of installing up Riverpod
Add this dependency to pubsec.yaml file:
Let us understand the concept by building a basic “Hello World” UI…
Note: Before starting to code install a Flutter Riverpod Snippet to code fast and efficiently.
Lets code :
As you can see in the above code we have to first wrap our code with ProviderScope above to use the Riverpod with provider class in our code as we have done.
As you can see above we have created a normal provider named as numberProvider which contains the string ‘Hello World’.
As you can see above in MyHome class extends ConsumerWidget instead of the stateless widget to remove hectic coding which gave us the advantage not to use the Consumer widget instead. The final value variable is used to get a value of which is stored in numberProvider which is wrapped with a watch widget to get the value of the provider which can be later used in our UI.
The above UI looks like this:
Using StateProvider in Riverpod to change UI :
Let us node see how to use StateProvider to change the state of a UI
Lets code:
As you can see above we have used StateProvider which contains an integer return type. The numberStateProvider variable contains a value of state provider.
The numberState variable is used here to fetch a value of StateProvider here.
The above code UI looks like this and state change are performed are shown as :
