What is the dispose()
Method?
The dispose()
method is used in Flutter widgets to perform clean up tasks when they are removed from the widget tree.
What Happens if We Don’t Use dispose()
?
If we do not use the dispose()
method, resources such as streams, timers, and animations may continue to exist after the widget is removed from the tree, causing memory leaks and other issues.
What are the Benefits of Using dispose()
?
Using dispose()
allows us to clean up resources that are no longer in use, improving the performance of our application and reducing the chance of memory leaks.
@override

// TODO: implement dispose
