[QUESTION] Why is GraphQLProvider dependent on ValueNotifier<GraphQLClient>

[theGlenn]

The docs stipulate 👍 that When [value] is replaced with something that is not equal to the old value as evaluated by the equality operator ==, this class notifies its[...]

I'm not sure to understand under what circumstances GraphQLClient.client.value would be updated by the framework.

/// A [ChangeNotifier] that holds a single value. /// /// When [value] is replaced with something that is not equal to the old /// value as evaluated by the equality operator ==, this class notifies its /// listeners.

Context: I'm trying to have my services access the client by creating it at the top of my build like the following and I just want to make sure GraphQLProvider wasn't going to update it's own client property;

   @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    final client = clientFor(
      uri: 'http://$host:3000/graphql',
      subscriptionUri: 'ws://$host:3000/graphql',
    );
    return MaterialApp(
        home: MultiProvider(
            providers: [ChangeNotifierProvider(create: (context) => UserModel(client))],
            child: ClientProvider(cli: client, child: MainScreen())
        ));
  }

I'm not very satisfied with Graphql.of since it appears to completely dissociate itself from the provider tree.

Note: It is quite unclear what the solution was here https://github.com/zino-app/graphql-flutter/issues/339

I believe it is because the user may rebuild the client to change links or http endpoints, in which case Query widgets should be notified to refetch from the new configuration.
