I may have to try this. I've been using optional arguments with defaults for this instead. For more complex objects this can be more expressive. I've used it for other components (data, service, etc.) but never Widgets.

Is Dart fast enough for production use compared to Java, JavaScript, or C? Unequivocally. Though differences in performance & memory use between AOT & JIT compilation may add some complexity in deployment choice.#programming #dartlang #flutter #flutterdev nequalsonelifestyle.com/2021/12/12/darā¦
Doing some Dart minimum benchmarking showing memory size & run time for smallest apps. Overall šon perf/size but confused about a frequent 1-3 second shutdown delay when running under virtualization. Thoughts? #dartlang @dart_lang #flutter #flutterdev nequalsonelifestyle.com/2021/12/13/darā¦
My recent Dart/Flutter experience proved to me that it has very good performance. I'm still quantifying that and hope to document it in my blog. This is an intro post on the subject explaining my mindset. #dartlang #flutter #flutterdev #programming nequalsonelifestyle.com/2021/12/12/darā¦
Ubuntu's announcement that they were investing in Flutter for desktop app development got me seriously looking at it. Nice to see the progress. I hope to see more non-Google service integration as 1st class citizen. #programming #flutter #flutterdev ubuntu.com//blog/what-fluā¦
If I hadn't tried to fix a bug in a library for rendering OpenGraph previews in #flutter I wouldn't have known they were reflecting every request off a middle server. A #cybersecurity reminder to be vigilant about your dependencies #flutterdev #programming nequalsonelifestyle.com/2021/12/08/a-rā¦
With that the crashing/OS killing bug is fully documented and submitted. Since it seems specific to the Nouveau driver (maybe just for this HW/SW config) and it's fixed by using the standard NVIDIA driver the whole thing may be moot. #flutter #flutterdev github.com/flutter/flutteā¦
Big on my list of things to do today is to document a pernicious bug in a contained reproducible way that causes the NVIDIA drivers to not only throw kernel errors but also crash the OS. Lots of patience will be needed for sure. #programming #flutterdev
I was running into some memory/perf problems with my ListViews containing SelectableText widgets. @justinjmcc fixed it less than a day later but I wanted to document my exploration of ListView behaviors and how the bug manifested. #flutter #flutterdev nequalsonelifestyle.com/2021/12/02/202ā¦
Iāve released my first Dart/Flutter library. It implements the Result Monad (like in Rust) for doing result/error propagation/handling without relying on exceptions or returning null or specific values for errors. #dart #dartlang #flutter #flutterdev nequalsonelifestyle.com/2021/11/29/resā¦
While writing a Facebook archive viewer (Kryanite) I ran across the problem of Facebook not properly encoding Unicode. Another dev figured it out and developed a Python snippet to fix it. I've done the same now for Dart #dartlang #flutter #flutterdev nequalsonelifestyle.com/2021/11/23/fixā¦
Yesterday I put out a beta of Kryanite, a cross-platform desktop app to help people browse their offline Facebook data. It is my first real #flutter project. If things continue going well I think I'll become primarily a Flutter & Dart developer #flutterdev nequalsonelifestyle.com/2021/11/18/reaā¦
The post earlier on cross platform desktop Flutter has me looking at if it makes sense to extend and/or fork Flutter Platform Widgets as a baseline. Plus side is one stop shop. Down side is it'd have to link in non-standard UI libs. #flutter #flutterdev github.com/stryder-dev/flā¦
I had a "how to do cross-platform UI with Flutter" blog post (down to widgets) in the works but now I don't have to thanks to @whiplashoo. Caveat is I'd be doing it with Yaru for #linux native look/feel as well as Mac and Windows. #flutter #flutterdev blog.whidev.com/native-lookingā¦
I've done all my #flutter desktop dev on Linux for this app. Today I started work on Mac & Windows. Besides a path processing hiccup on Win and some CocoaPod Rosetta issues, both small, was painless. Also confirmed picking up dark mode on all three too. Very pleased. #flutterdev
Reminder that in latest Flutter release (2.5) you have to specify the pointing devices that support dragging to get mouse scrolling to work in Flutter Desktop. #flutter #flutterdev flutter.dev/docs/release/bā¦
I've finished "Flutter Apprentice" and wrote a review on @goodreads TL;DR I'm impressed enough with it from the free preview period I'm going to buy it anyway in appreciation. Great reference for people trying to learn #flutter #flutterdev goodreads.com/review/show/42ā¦
This 3 mo free offer by Ray Wenderlich is a bit elementary for me *except* on the layout stuff. Really digging the pointers on that. I can see this is a great intro book for anyone wanting to learn #flutter #flutterdev from scratch though. raywenderlich.com/28213725-annouā¦
I've just been using the standard Flutter localization. I see there are other packages I should try. I like the shorter syntax and am thinking maybe instead add extension methods to wrap the standard Flutter libraries to get the same t() or .i18n notation #flutterdev #Flutter
