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.

Essential theory and context

According to the official site (SQLite.org), SQLite is a "small, fast, self-contained, high-reliability, full-featured, SQL database engine".

Let's see what that means to us, as Flutter mobile developers: first of all, SQLite is an SQL database engine. That means that you can use the SQL language to build queries, so if you are already familiar with SQL, you can leverage your knowledge. If you are totally new to databases, I suggest you have a look at the excellent W3Schools SQL tutorial at https://www.w3schools.com/sql/default.asp: you'll find it much easier to follow along with the project in this chapter.

The main features of SQLite are as follows:

  • Small and fast: Developers have extensively tested SQLite speed and file size, and it outperformed several other technologies, both as space on disk and for its speed of retrieval...
