Overview
The need_resume package provides a simple way to manage lifecycle events in Flutter stateful widgets, offering onResume, onPause, and onReady callbacks for every screen. It helps developers handle state restoration and user interactions when navigating between screens or when the app resumes from the background. By integrating with the widget's lifecycle, it ensures smooth transitions and improved user experience across platforms. The package is lightweight and compatible with Android, iOS, Web, macOS, Windows, and Linux.
