Mobx.dart: When to use stateless widget and stateful widget

[campanagerald]

Hi, In the getting started example you use stateless widget but in the examples (TODO, HackerNews, etc ). you use stateful widget. May I know when to use stateless widget and stateful widget?

Ah nice find @campanagerald. In general always use StatelessWidgets as the stores would be outside of the Widget. If the Store is tied to the lifecycle of the Widget, then go for a StatefulWidget

[ozum]

@pavanpodila, is there any example where Store is tied to the lifecycle of the Widget?

[pavanpodila]

The Todo example is using that idea. It creates the store in a StatefulWidget and is alive only for the lifetime of the Todo route page.
