Make the model providers stateful to keep the state of the current model

Using a Model on a page with a text box, the model will reset because the keyboard rebuilds the app.

Wow having the same problem. I am trying to port an app of mine from xamarin.forms to flutter and i am having problem with reinitializing the scopemodel every time keyboard is up.

You can solve the issue yourself by making the models in a state.

If the provider passed the model to it's state it would have a similar effect. The model would technically be made again and the constructor would be called so any initialization stuff would be done over again and thrown away. So maybe just having a special PersistentScopedModel where the model is a builder and the provider builds the model in it's state and does not build it again.

I'm not sure of an occasion you would WANT the Model to reset when the app is rebuilt, so maybe the provider should take a model builder by default.

Hey all -- thanks for the feedback! Overall, I think we'll be deprecating this package in favor of the provider package. It offers very similar functionality out of the box with additional goodies like StatefulProvider that solves exactly this problem.

I'd suggest trying out the provider package + StatefulProvider to see if that works for ya!

@brianegan Thanks for the heads-up! I have a question. Do we use the master branch or go for v2.0.0?
Thanks.
