Dooes Create really needs a BuildContext?

[feinstein]

Create looks like this:

typedef Create<T> = T Function(BuildContext context);

But I can't think of a case where any Provider will have create: called outside a build() method, so context will always be available, isn't this redundant?

Keep in mind that a BuildContext points to a very specific location in the widget tree, and that widgets uses unidirectional dataflow.

The context of your custom widget may not have access to the same things that the provider's context does.

Hmm, ok, I can't see where this would be useful, but I will close it then.
