Flutter: Access data from InheritedWidgets without context?

What I found to work for me is getting the parent context and using it in the didChangeDependencies() function that is called after initState. Like this

@override // TODO: implement context BuildContext get context => super.context; @override void didChangeDependencies() { bloc = LoginBlocProvider.of(context); bloc.isAuthenticated.listen((bool value) { setState(() { isLoading = false; }); if (value) { Navigator.push(context, MaterialPageRoute( builder: (BuildContext context) => HomeScreen() )); } }); super.didChangeDependencies(); } 

From de didChangeDependencies() docs:

This method is also called immediately after initState. It is safe to call BuildContext.inheritFromWidgetOfExactType from this method.

I'm still trying to fully understand this feature but this is what worked for me

According to this docs context should be available in initState using the context getter.

https://docs.flutter.io/flutter/widgets/State/context.html

The framework associates State objects with a BuildContext after creating them with StatefulWidget.createState and before calling initState.
