Study Notes

Filip from the Flutter team discusses InheritedWidget in the third video of Flutter Widgets 101, addressing the challenge of passing data through a complex widget tree efficiently.
InheritedWidget allows accessing data from higher up in the widget tree without having to pass it down manually through constructors and build methods.
InheritedWidget is not inherited in terms of class hierarchy but in a widget hierarchy, enabling widgets below it to inherit data from it.
Implementation of an InheritedWidget involves creating a class that extends InheritedWidget, defining fields like a nose image asset, and using context dot InheritWidget of exact type to access the data in descendant widgets.
InheritedWidgets are immutable, meaning their fields cannot be reassigned but can change internally, such as by attaching service objects for various functionalities like database access or network calls.
