Is the didChangeDependency method always triggered when dependencies change?

Answer from AI
The didChangeDependencies method in Flutter is not always called when dependencies change, but only when the State object is first created or when the objects that the State depends on change, such as an InheritedWidget.
This means that didChangeDependencies is called:
- After initState during the initial setup.
- When one of the dependencies that the widget subscribes to via the context changes.
If dependencies do not change, the method will not be called again.
Therefore, didChangeDependencies is a convenient place to obtain data from the context that may change during the widget's lifetime.
