ProviderKit Snippets
ProviderKit Snippets is a lightweight Visual Studio Code extension that provides useful Dart snippets for the provider_kit state management library.
Type a pk prefix, choose a snippet, press Tab, and keep coding.
Installation
Install ProviderKit Snippets directly from the VS Code Marketplace.
Once installed, open any .dart file and start typing a pk prefix. IntelliSense will display the available snippets automatically.
Usage
- Type a snippet prefix (e.g.,
pkStateBuilder) in a Dart file.
- Select the snippet from the IntelliSense dropdown.
- Press
Tab to insert the template.
- Fill in the placeholder values (e.g., notifier classes, state types).
Quick Preview
Type pkStateBuilder + Tab to generate:
StateBuilder<MyState>(
provider: provider,
builder: (context, state, child) {
return widget;
},
)
For a complete list of all available snippets, see the table below.
Available Snippets
All snippets are prefixed with pk for fast discovery and to avoid collisions with other snippet libraries.

Design
ProviderKit Snippets follows a minimalist, developer-first approach:
- Simple — install the extension and start using snippets immediately.
- Consistent naming — every snippet starts with
pk, making ProviderKit snippets easy to find.
- Clean snippets — only commonly used parameters are included, keeping generated code concise.
- Useful tab stops — move quickly between placeholders with
Tab.
