上面进行了五步的回溯流程，如果不仔细看清楚相关类里面的逻辑，很可能就迷失在super方法里。。。

通过上面的五步回溯，我们可以断定一个事实：_InheritedProviderScopeElement（实现BuildContext） 被实例化了，而且他在初始化的时候被调用了，对应的，其内部相应的周期也能被正常触发！这样之前看源码困扰我的很多问题，就迎刃而解了！

• 图示
  • 上面回溯的层级过多，还有很多的继承和实现
  • 看了后，脑中可能没啥印象，所以此处画了流程图，可以参照对比

添加监听

整个刷新机制里面有个相当重要的一环，我们从Create中传入的类，它内部是怎么处理的？

  final provider = ProEasyCounterProvider();

    return ChangeNotifierProvider(
      create: (BuildContext context) => provider,

    Widget? child,
  }) : super(
