obtainKey abstract method

Future<T> obtainKey(
  1. ImageConfiguration configuration
)

Converts an ImageProvider's settings plus an ImageConfiguration to a key that describes the precise image to load.

The type of the key is determined by the subclass. It is a value that unambiguously identifies the image (including its scale) that the loadImage method will fetch. Different ImageProviders given the same constructor arguments and ImageConfiguration objects should return keys that are '==' to each other (possibly by using a class for the key that itself implements ==).

If the result can be determined synchronously, this function should return a SynchronousFuture. This allows image resolution to progress synchronously during a frame rather than delaying image loading.

Implementation

Future<T> obtainKey(ImageConfiguration configuration);
