Page Caching
StreamController caches pages displayed by the deck. This improves performance while only using a bit more memory.
As a plugin developer, the internal caching mechanism is handled for you, so there's no need for direct intervention.
However, it's important to be aware of its existence to circumvent potential issues:
1. current_state variables¶
-
- Problem:
- If you use
current_statevariables in your actions to avoid updating the key image if it is not needed, congrats you're writing nice code.
Despite this, it's a common pitfall. Why? Because when a user navigates away from a page and then returns, your action's state might still be in the cache. Consequently, your plugin may falsely assume the correct image is displayed when, in fact, it is not.
-
- Solution:
- To address this, simply reset the
current_statevariable within theon_readymethod. Theon_readymethod is invoked each time a page is loaded, allowing you to reset thecurrent_statevariable.
