/// [SingleTickerProviderStateMixin] classes to obtain a suitable
/// [TickerProvider]. The widget test framework [WidgetTester] object can be
/// used as a ticker provider in the context of tests. In other contexts, you
/// will have to either pass a [TickerProvider] from a higher level (e.g.
/// indirectly from a [State] that mixes in [TickerProviderStateMixin]), or
/// create a custom [TickerProvider] subclass.
