DeferInit<T extends Widget?> class

Prevents the initialization of UI until the provided asynchronous task is completed.

This is done by using the deferFirstFrame() and allowFirstFrame() functions from Flutter's RendererBinding mixin.

Use in a StatefulWidget when async initialization of a service class is required before initState starts to build UI.

This widget was created by Simon Lightfoot and modified slightly by GroovinChip. Please view the original source here
