Shadcn and Getx

[Khalifares]

Hi there!

First of all I'd like to say that I'm learning a lot by exploring your code so a big thank you!

I have a question:
Is it possible to use Getx pre-configured widget GetMaterialApp in combination with ShadApp? If so, how?

Thanks in advance,

Hi, I am happy that you are learning new things.

Please, don't use GetX if you can, especially if you are a beginner.
I did the same mistake when I started, and I had to learn everything from scratch after changing state management.
Why GetX is bad:

• getx makes you learn getx, not flutter
• getx is a very large library but has very little documentation
• getx makes you avoid learning a crucial part of flutter (the BuildContext)
• getx makes you learn bad practices and uses bad practices in its own code (GlobalKeys are overused)
• getx makes your code very dependent on getx, making it extremely hard to replace later
• getx does not actually offer any unique features
• getx has a high like count on pub.dev but we suspect it to be acquired through abnormal means

You can choose any other state management solution that provides a solid architecture and has solid bases.
If I have to suggest for some I would say:

• solidart I'm the creator, I created it because I loved the simplicity of SolidJS in the JS world and wanted to have the same in Dart. Respects the best practices of Flutter.
• provider Created by Remi, the creator of Riverpod also. Riverpod is newer but not beginner friendly IMHO.

So, how to mix getx and ShadApp ?, is this possible ?
