+/// - `SharedAppData.setValue(context, key, value)` changes the value of an entry

+///
+/// A widget whose build method uses SharedAppData.getValue(context,
+/// keyword, initCallback) creates a dependency on the SharedAppData. When
+/// the value of keyword changes with SharedAppData.setValue(), the widget
+/// will be rebuilt. The values managed by the SharedAppData are expected
+/// to be immutable: intrinsic changes to values will not cause
+/// dependent widgets to be rebuilt.
+///
+/// An instance of this widget is created automatically by [WidgetsApp].
+///
+/// There are many ways to share data with a widget subtree. This
+/// class is based on [InheritedModel], which is an [InheritedWidget].
+/// It's intended to be used by packages that need to share a modest
+/// number of values among their own components.
+///
+/// SharedAppData is not intended to be a substitute for Provider or any of
+/// the other general purpose application state systems. SharedAppData is
+/// for situations where a package's custom widgets need to share one
+/// or a handful of immutable data objects that can be lazily
+/// initialized. It exists so that packages like that can deliver
+/// custom widgets without requiring the developer to add a
+/// package-specific umbrella widget to their application.
+///
+/// A good way to create an SharedAppData key that avoids potential
+/// collisions with other packages is to use a static `Object()` value.
+/// The `SharedObject` example below does this.
+///
+/// {@tool dartpad}
+/// The following sample demonstrates using the automatically created
+/// `SharedAppData`. Button presses cause changes to the values for keys
+/// 'foo', and 'bar', and those changes only cause the widgets that
+/// depend on those keys to be rebuilt.
