I created a NavigationBar, 4 tabs, each one ref.watch()
related provider. (Each provider basically fetches data from Database)
Riverpod caches provider state by default. But I found each time I tap a tab, the related provider would fetch again from DB.
According to Riverpod's doc:
If the UI stops using this provider, the cache will be destroyed. Then, if the UI ever uses the provider again, that a new network request will be made.
This indicates than the UI stops using the provider after another tab is tapped.
According to this Q&A answered by Remi Rousselet, the author of Riverpod:
You can use AutomaticKeepAliveClientMixin/IndexedStack if you want. Riverpod is unrelated to this
IndexedStack helped me.
