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.

Summary

In this chapter, you've seen how to build a full-stack app from scratch: server-side, we've used Firebase to create a web service, including database and authentication services; client-side, we've used Flutter to read and write data to the cloud.

In detail, you've seen how to create a new Firebase project, which is the entry point for all Flutter services. Inside the project, you’ve created a new NoSQL database with the Cloud Firestore database. This database contains collections, which in turn contain documents. Documents are made up of key-value pairs or fields. Then, we saw how to integrate Firebase into a Flutter project, both in iOS and Android. This multi-step process includes downloading a configuration file, different for the two operating systems, and adding it in your projects; of course, it also includes adding the relevant packages...
