what is Get.create() in the Getx package and what it does

reading the Getx package documentation, I faced this method:

  Get.create<ShoppingController>(() => ShoppingController());

and it says:

Get.create(()=>Controller()) will generate a new Controller each time you call Get.find(),

but, I don't seem to understand what this means and how it differs from the Get.put() and Get.lazyPut().

it is now Get.spawn in the latest version of GetX packaged version 5.0.

Make sure to update the package first then use this.

This will give no errors.

I found the answer for that question.

The big difference between

Get.create<ShoppingController>(() => ShoppingController());

And :

Get.put(ShoppingController());

Both of them are used in injecting dependencies in the a Flutter app, But Get.put<T>(T()) injects it just one time and whenever we call Get.find<T>() it looks up for that exact dependency and return it, so we can rememeber this:

Get.put<T>(()) inject a dependency and whatever time we call Get.find<T>() across the entire app, the same T is returned.

In the other side, Get.create<V>(() => V) also inject a dependency in a Flutter app, But every time we call Get.find<V>(), it doesn't return the same V, it creates a new instance of V, then return it, so we can rememeber this:

Get.create<V>(() => V) don't return the same instance, it creates a new one every time Get.find<V>() is called.

Get.put(T()) :

class ControllerOne extends GetxController {
int number = 10;
increment() {
 number += 10;
 }
}


final controllerOne =  Get.put<ControllerOne>(ControllerOne());

final controllerOneFinder = Get.find<controllerOne>();

controllerOneFinder.increment();

final controllerOneSecondFinder = Get.find<controllerOne>();

print(controllerOneFinder.number); // 20

print(controllerOneSecondFinder.number); // 20

it stay the same.

Get.create(() =>T) :

class ControllerTwo extends GetxController {
int secondNumber = 10;
increment() {
 secondNumber += 10;
 }
}


final controllerTwo =  Get.create<ControllerTwo>(() => (ControllerTwo());

final controllerTwoFinder = Get.find<ControllerTwo>();

controllerTwoFinder.increment();

final controllerTwoSecondFinder = Get.find<ControllerTwo>();


print(controllerTwoFinder.number); // 20

print(controllerTwoSecondFinder.number); // 10

Each one is different than the other. (controllerTwoSecondFinder == controllerTwoFinder) is false.
