Is there a way to pass a parameter known only at run time to an object created by getit dependency injection?

Question

Is there a way to pass a parameter known only at run time to an object created by getit dependency injection when the object is being created or retrieved from a Dependency Injector?

class WatchVideoPage extends StatelessWidget {
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return BlocProvider(
      create: () => locator<WatchVideoPageBloc>(), // I want the bloc to know of the videoId.
      child: new RandomWidget()
    );
  }

  final VideoId videoId;
}

'locator' is the dependency injection thing in the code.

Or is there another way of making the bloc know the value of videoId?

Thanks!

Answer 1

You can just create an event that makes the video ID known to the bloc:

create: () => locator<WatchVideoPageBloc>()..add(StartStreaming(videoId)),

Obviously, that means you need an event called StartStreaming that takes a VideoId in their constructor.
