Overview of this book

Flutter is a modern reactive mobile framework that removes a lot of the complexity found in building native mobile apps for iOS and Android. With Flutter, developers can now build fast and native mobile apps from a single codebase. This book is packed with 11 projects that will help you build your own mobile applications using Flutter. It begins with an introduction to Dart programming and explains how it can be used with the Flutter SDK to customize mobile apps. Each chapter contains instructions on how to build an independent app from scratch, and each project focuses on important Flutter features.From building Flutter Widgets and applying animations to using databases (SQLite and sembast) and Firebase, you'll build on your knowledge through the chapters. As you progress, you’ll learn how to connect to remote services, integrate maps, and even use Flare to create apps and games in Flutter. Gradually, you’ll be able to create apps and games that are ready to be published on the Google Play Store and the App Store. In the concluding chapters, you’ll learn how to use the BLoC pattern and various best practices related to creating enterprise apps with Flutter. By the end of this book, you will have the skills you need to write and deliver fully functional mobile apps using Flutter.

Project overview

The app we'll build in this chapter is a simple 'to do' management application. It consists of two screens: the first one contains a list of todos that need to be completed: from here, the user will be able to delete any item on the list by swiping left or right, and add a new todo item or edit an existing one by calling the second screen of the app. The following is a screenshot of the first page of the app:

The second screen of the app is the detail of a single todo: here the user will be able to insert the details of the todo and save them to the sembast database. The fields required for a todo are the name of the todo, its description, priority, and date.

By clicking the Save button, all changes will be persisted; by clicking the 'back' button, the changes will be discarded. The following is a picture of the second screen:
