you hot reload, but the change is not reflected.
conversely, in the following example:
<code_start>
const foo = 1;
final bar = foo;
void onClick() {
print(foo);
print(bar);
}
<code_end>
running the app for the first time prints 1 and 1.
then, you make the following change:
<code_start>
const foo = 2; // modified
final bar = foo;
void onClick() {
print(foo);
print(bar);
}
<code_end>
while changes to const field values are always hot reloaded,
the static field initializer is not rerun. conceptually,
const fields are treated like aliases instead of state.
the dart VM detects initializer changes and flags when a set
of changes needs a hot restart to take effect.
the flagging mechanism is triggered for
most of the initialization work in the above example,
but not for cases like the following:
<code_start>
final bar = foo;
<code_end>
to update foo and view the change after hot reload,
consider redefining the field as const or using a getter to
return the value, rather than using final.
for example, either of the following solutions work:
<code_start>
const foo = 1;
const bar = foo; // convert foo to a const...
void onClick() {
print(foo);
print(bar);
}
<code_end>
<code_start>
const foo = 1;
int get bar => foo; // ...or provide a getter.
void onClick() {
print(foo);
print(bar);
}
<code_end>

between the const and final keywords in dart.

recent UI change is excluded
even when a hot reload operation appears successful and generates no
exceptions, some code changes might not be visible in the refreshed UI.
this behavior is common after changes to the app’s main() or
initState() methods.
as a general rule, if the modified code is downstream of the root
widget’s build() method, then hot reload behaves as expected.
however, if the modified code won’t be re-executed as a result
of rebuilding the widget tree, then you won’t
see its effects after hot reload.
for example, consider the following code:
<code_start>
import 'package:flutter/material.dart';
void main() {
runApp(MyApp());
}
class MyApp extends StatelessWidget {
const MyApp({super.key});
@override
widget build(BuildContext context) {
return GestureDetector(onTap: () => print('tapped'));
}
}
<code_end>
after running this app, change the code as follows:
<code_start>
import 'package:flutter/widgets.dart';
void main() {
runApp(const center(child: Text('Hello', textDirection: TextDirection.ltr)));
}
<code_end>
with a hot restart, the program starts from the beginning,
executes the new version of main(),
and builds a widget tree that displays the text hello.
however, if you hot reload the app after this change,
main() and initState() are not re-executed,
and the widget tree is rebuilt with the unchanged instance
of MyApp as the root widget.
this results in no visible change after hot reload.
