Inherited Widgets: Introduction

Inherited widgets

The inherited widget is one of the low-level processes of state management in Flutter. However, when it manages its state, it also propagates information down the tree. To do that, it acts as a base class. Thus, although state management is a complex topic, we can manage it quite comfortably through inherited widgets.

This lesson concentrates on inherited widgets only, as this is a fundamental concept in Flutter. This will significantly help us manage a widget’s state efficiently.

We do this to manage widget states more efficiently.

However, before proceeding further, let’s check the diagram below to see how we can float a state to the bottom-most widget without affecting the parent widgets.
