More specifically, you'll learn about he nuances of how keys work, discern when to use keys in your widget hierarchy, and identify the appropriate types of keys to optimize your widget-based structures.

      @Kalsang Dorjee You shouldn't develop software if that is the level of your imagination. Passing from a static element to one you can modify programmatically is a massive change. There is no way to do that if you do not have a particular identifier for each element.

      Keys are kind of IDs, to differ elements and map between widjets tree and Element Tree, and in case of Global Key like a link to the concrete element State object, this global key provide access to the State to some Element from widget's code.

I also appreciate the comment about not using random numbers ..it really shows that they are helping people avoid common stumbling blocks. Thanks Flutter Team! Keep up great work! Love these videos. She makes a comment about the BLOC pattern at the end, I would love to see a dedicated video or series of these types of preplanned and well-polished videos on that pattern.

    I'm not sure if I'm 100% correct, but another useful use of keys (that I've encountered) is finding specific Widgets during Widget Tests and UI Tests. Let's say you're loading the current temperature, you want to know if it rendered, you don't care about the actual reading but that the actual widget holding the value is rendered. In this case, Keys are very useful (unless I'm doing it wrong and there's another way to identify Widgets during Widgets and Integration Tests)

    Effort appreciated.
    A very simple concept but confusingly explained.
    X(),X(),... X() * 100
    Shuffle them
    X(),X(),... X() * 100
    Renderer see no change, there is no effect because things are not ordered shuffle have no meaning.
    The key prop makes
    X-1(), X-2(), ... X-100(),
    shuffle,
    X-57(),X-2(),...X-3()
    now some part changed, re-render, note X-2 will be reused in such case since the prop is the same, so a best practice is item.id and each key should be unique.

    I have watched this video 3 times, once at the start of my flutter development, once one year in, and now two years in. Still do not understand it fully and why I need it in a certain spot in my widget tree.
    I do get that flutter stores an cheap element tree to quickly look up if the tree has changed. That probably fits into L1 cache.

    • @thisispax
      @thisispax 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      (2:25) IIUC, StatelessWidget has the color "within" the widget and it does update the reference to the new widget (3:11) that's why you'd see the colors "swap".
      In a StatefulWidget, the "color" is in a *State object* and not in the widget instance itself. That's why updating the reference (just as how Flutter did with Stateless because the widgets are the same type) will not mean that the color will change since the color is in a "State Object"
