I am using get package.
Here's what my code looks like,
class MyController extends GetXController{
//code to fetch data from firebase
}
class SecondScreen extends GetView<MyController>{
@override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
return GetBuilder(
init: MyController(),
builder: (controller) {
return Scaffold(
//code...
);
},
);
}
}
Doubt:
I have a button, using which I am navigating to the secondScreen
from homePage
, and everytime I tap on the button the controller MyController
is initialized again and so the data is fetched
again. But I want to do something that will keep that controller that is initizlized the first time in memory permanently. How can I do that?
I know that, we can do something like this,
Get.put(Controller(), permanent: true);
But, in my code, I haven't used Get.put method anywhere as when the class extending GetView is called the controller is initialized automatically.
Well, actually you are putting/initializing MyController
. Just not inside the GetX dependency container.
Because you are doing:
GetBuilder(
init: MyController(),
....
)
What you should do instead is:
GetBuilders(
init: Get.put(MyController()),
....
)
That way you are letting GetX dependency manager to manage your dependencies. And it's smart enough to know that that route is on the backstack so doesn't remove from memory.
