gqadonis / flutter-lazy-performance

An example app for exploring Flutter's performance when handling heavy off-screen widgets.

Flutter Lazy Performance

Examples of widgets extending off-screen and various ways of handling this in a performant way. Demos with "naive" in the title optimize nothing at all, and they probably shouldn't be used except in trivial cases. Other examples attempt various performance improvements and trade offs.

This repo comes from a talk at Google I/O 2021.

Notes

• InteractiveViewer.builder, used in several of the examples here, was not available in Flutter's stable channel at the time of I/O (May 2021), but was available in dev and stable. To check if your Flutter build has InteractiveViewer.builder, be sure you have commit https://github.com/flutter/flutter/commit/a8e41f8206133012056b02595111efe94537a816, which is from PR flutter/flutter#80166.
• When deploying the live demo on Github Pages, the index.html file must be updated to set a non-root path (see more in the docs).
