how to make Tabbed View's data remain different on tab change

[b14cknc0d3]

I have a page call DataPage which is a stateful widget
I added ApiPageData to TabData

    TabData(text: "", content: ApiPagedata(), closable: false)
  ];

I populated three API pages (have multiple forms) in initState.

@override
  void initState() {
    for (int i = 1; i < 3; i++) {
      tabs.add(TabData(
        text: "Tab $i",
        content: ApiPagedata(),
      ));
    }
    _model = TabbedViewController(tabs);
     super.initState();
  }

my tabbedView

TabbedView tabbedView = TabbedView(
      controller: _model,
    
    );
 return Scaffold(
        body: Container(child: tabbedView, padding: EdgeInsets.all(32)));

example apipagedata

Statefulwidget--ApiPagedata-->column-->forms

What I want is like a web browser each page must be independent , in TabBarView I can do it with AutomaticKeepAliveClientMixin.

Hi! Correct me if I got it wrong ok?

I believe that in your case, you need to keep your data in the State class. When changing tabs, Flutter reconstructs the screen because the old tab content is removed from the tree. At this moment, the data may disappear.

This is an example with a text field. If you don't keep the field controller, the typed text is lost:

import 'package:flutter/material.dart';
import 'package:tabbed_view/tabbed_view.dart';

void main() {
  runApp(MyApp());
}

class MyApp extends StatelessWidget {
  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return MaterialApp(
      home: MyPage(),
    );
  }
}

class MyPage extends StatefulWidget {
  @override
  MyPageState createState() => MyPageState();
}

class MyPageState extends State<MyPage> {
  late TabbedViewController _tabbedViewController;
  Map<int, TextEditingController> _fieldControllers =
      Map<int, TextEditingController>();

  @override
  void initState() {
    List<TabData> tabs = [];
    for (var i = 1; i < 5; i++) {
      _fieldControllers[i] = TextEditingController();
      TextField field = TextField(
        controller: _fieldControllers[i],
        decoration: InputDecoration(border: OutlineInputBorder()),
      );
      tabs.add(TabData(text: 'Tab $i', content: field));
    }

    _tabbedViewController = TabbedViewController(tabs);
    super.initState();
  }

  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return Scaffold(body: TabbedView(controller: _tabbedViewController));
  }
}

Is this your problem with ApiPagedata?

I can analyze the cost of implementing AutomaticKeepAliveClientMixin in TabbedView as well.

I'm thinking of providing a solution similar to Flutter's AutomaticKeepAliveClientMixin.

Perhaps it could also allow storing data directly in the TabData class.

[caduandrade]

The solution will be the keepAlive parameter in the TabData class to keep the tab widget always in memory.

It is possible to manage sensitive data by storing them in the value of the TabData class.

Done. Available in version 1.2.0.

sorry for late reply .i fixed using AutomaticKeepAliveClientMixin,
