Why is fetchAlbum() called in initState()? |
Although it’s convenient, |
it’s not recommended to put an API call in a build() method.Flutter calls the build() method every time it needs |
to change anything in the view, |
and this happens surprisingly often. |
The fetchAlbum() method, if placed inside build(), is repeatedly |
called on each rebuild causing the app to slow down.Storing the fetchAlbum() result in a state variable ensures that |
the Future is executed only once and then cached for subsequent |
rebuilds.<topic_end> |

.get(Uri.parse('https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/albums/1')); |
if (response.statusCode == 200) { |
// If the server did return a 200 OK response, |
// then parse the JSON. |
return Album.fromJson(jsonDecode(response.body) as Map<String, dynamic>); |
} else { |
// If the server did not return a 200 OK response, |
// then throw an exception. |
throw Exception('Failed to load album'); |
