DisposableProvider is a lightweight wrapper around the Provider package in Flutter, designed to automatically call the dispose method on provided objects. It simplifies state management by ensuring resources are properly cleaned up when no longer needed, reducing boilerplate and preventing memory leaks. Ideal for managing disposable dependencies like streams, controllers, or subscriptions. Built with simplicity and integration in mind, it works seamlessly within existing Provider-based architectures.
