Is it possible to cache widgets (similarly to IndexedStack/AutomaticKeepAliveClientMixin)?

[manuel-plavsic]

I would like to cache a widget.

My app is structured as follows:

• 4 BottomNavigationBarItems
  • Inside the scaffold of the first BottomNavigationBarItem: TabBar and TabBarView (partially already cached with AutomaticKeepAliveClientMixin).

The TabBar caches the content as long as I don't leave the widget (scaffold) containing the TabBar and TabBarView. Unfortunately, as soon as I tap on one of the other BottomNavigationBarItems (which, in my case, changes GoRouter route) and come back to the one I just left, the information regarding tab-wise scrolling position and last selected tab are lost.

Can Riverpod help me prevent losing this cache?

You can use AutomaticKeepAliveClientMixin/IndexedStack if you want

Riverpod is unrelated to this
