Flutter: Override widgets/components to get access to events

As a brief “note to self,” when you need to get access to Flutter widget events that you normally can’t access, override the widget to access lifecycle-related events like initState() and dispose() so you can access them. For example, this image (that comes from this URL) shows how to gain access to those lifecycle methods for a Flutter Drawer. You can do this with any component/widget — and you can also make the code more generic by passing in child widgets — and you can also mix in WidgetsBindingObserver and then use didChangeAppLifecycleState to gain access to more events.
