Shopping Cart: The Total

Part of the State Management section of Coddy's Flutter journey. Lesson 25 of 27.

The cart screen needs a total. The total is not new data: it follows from what is in the cart. So it is not stored anywhere. It is a provider that watches the cart and adds the prices up with fold:

final totalProvider = Provider((ref) {
  final cart = ref.watch(cartProvider);
  return cart.fold(0.0, (sum, product) => sum + product.price);
});

Because it watches the cart, the total is worked out again each time the cart changes, and every widget that watches the total shows the new amount.

Show it under the list. A Scaffold's bottomNavigationBar slot takes any widget and keeps it at the bottom of the screen, below the list, even when the list scrolls.

Challenge

Medium

Show the total on the cart screen:

Add a totalProvider that watches cartProvider and adds up the prices.
On the cart screen, show Total: $2.75 (two decimals) in the Scaffold's bottomNavigationBar, with some padding.
