provider field values do not update on changes

[kenzieschmoll]

In this example, I am looking at the _value field of the matchIndex ValueNotifier. In the connected app (which is another instance of DevTools running on the web), I perform some interactions that will result in matchIndex.value changing. The value displayed in the provider page does not change. If I select a different provider and then come back and re-select the original provider, the correct value is shown in the _value field.

If it is not feasible to listen for changes to a provided object's data, perhaps we could add a force refresh button to allow a user to update the data on the provider?

[rrousselGit]

Listening to the objects should be feasible.

I can see the value in a refresh button anyway as users may write custom listenable classes.

Alternatively, we could try and refresh things every x seconds?

Now that the Provider panel is a DevTools extension, I'm closing this issue in favor of rrousselGit/provider#883.
