lazy_load_indexed_stack

Description:

lazy load indexed stack

lazy_load_indexed_stack #
A package that extends IndexedStack to allow for lazy loading.
Motivation #
If you use the IndexedStack with bottom navigation, all the widgets specified in the children of the IndexedStack will be built.
Moreover, if the widget requires API requests or database access, or has a complex UI, the IndexedStack build time will be significant.
Therefore, we created an extended IndexedStack that builds the required widget only when it is needed, and returns the pre-built widget when it is needed again.
Features #

Lazy Loading: The main feature of LazyLoadIndexedStack is to build children widgets only when they are needed, reducing initial load time.
Preloading: With the preloadIndexes parameter, you can specify indexes of children that should be built in advance, even if they are not currently visible. This is useful for preloading widgets that are likely to be needed soon.

Usage #
You can use LazyLoadIndexedStack in the same way as IndexedStack.
class MainPage extends StatefulWidget {
@override
State<StatefulWidget> createState() => _MainPageState();
}

class _MainPageState extends State<MainPage> {
int _index = 0;

@override
Widget build(final BuildContext context) {
return MaterialApp(
home: Scaffold(
body: LazyLoadIndexedStack(
index: _index,
preloadIndexes: const [3],
children: [
Page1(),
Page2(),
Page3(),
Page4(), // index3 is preloaded
],
),
bottomNavigationBar: BottomNavigationBar(
onTap: (index) {
setState(() => _index = index);
},
currentIndex: _index,
items: [
BottomNavigationBarItem1(),
BottomNavigationBarItem2(),
BottomNavigationBarItem3(),
BottomNavigationBarItem4(),
],
),
),
);
}
}
