Overview
HydratedBloc is an extension of the Bloc library that enables automatic persistence and restoration of state across app restarts. It seamlessly saves bloc states to local storage (such as SharedPreferences or a file system) and restores them when the app reinitializes, ensuring a consistent user experience. Ideal for maintaining user preferences, form data, or session states without manual serialization. Built on top of the popular Bloc framework, it integrates smoothly with existing Bloc-based architectures.
