Hello everyone. Noobie here.
I have an order form where people will order a real estate sign installation. To break things up, I want to make it a multi page affair: Where, when, which inventory etc.
1) What would be best practice for this? I assume that if it was a 1 page form I would write all the values into an "order" collection in Firestore upon clicking the submit button. Do I now have to capture and "hold" those values somewhere until the submit button is clicked? If so, do I clutter the app state variables or is it best to do a tabbed page that way I can keep everything on one page.
2)Do I even need to "save" the values that are typed into the textfield widgets? What happens to them as people move from page to page, hit back etc. Will there still be text in there when they navigate back? What if they move to a different section of the app and want to finish up later?What if they close the app? I know there is a "persisted" state, but from my understanding it is for a defined variable. The text widget is this no man's land where data isn't inputted yet.
