KeepAlive class Null safety
Mark a child as needing to stay alive even when it's in a lazy list that would otherwise remove it.
This widget is for use in SliverWithKeepAliveWidgets, such as SliverGrid or SliverList.
This widget is rarely used directly. The SliverChildBuilderDelegate and
SliverChildListDelegate delegates, used with SliverList and
SliverGrid, as well as the scroll view counterparts ListView and
GridView, have an addAutomaticKeepAlives feature, which is enabled by
default, and which causes AutomaticKeepAlive widgets to be inserted around
each child, causing KeepAlive widgets to be automatically added and
configured in response to KeepAliveNotifications.
Therefore, to keep a widget alive, it is more common to use those notifications than to directly deal with KeepAlive widgets.
In practice, the simplest way to deal with these notifications is to mix AutomaticKeepAliveClientMixin into one's State. See the documentation for that mixin class for details.
