The Get.lazyPut Method

The Get.lazyPut Method

Learn to load the dependencies lazily using Get.lazyPut.

We'll cover the following...

Lazy loading dependencies

Get.lazyPut enables us to lazily load the dependencies into the memory. By lazy load, we mean that even though the dependencies will be initialized instantly, they will be allocated space in memory only when Get.find is called for the first time. Unlike Get.put, it does not call Get.find internally.

So when would we want to load our dependencies lazily? One good use case is when we place our dependencies in intialBinding:

Press + to interact
class HomeBinding implements Bindings {
  @override
  void dependencies() {
    Get.lazyPut<Controller>(() => Controller()); // Dependency declared here.
  }
}
GetMaterialApp(
  initialBinding: HomeBinding(), // Dependency initialized here.
);
class HomePage extends StatelessWidget {
  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return Text(Get.find<Controller>().name); // Dependency loaded here.
  }
}

The above code is a reflection of the high-quality dependency organization that GetX offers. Dependencies are declared in HomeBinding, initialized within GetMaterialApp, and loaded inside the HomePage widget. This way, we can place all our dependencies inside initialBinding without worrying about them taking memory as they are loaded only when used by a widget.
