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.

What's Flare?

Flare is a vector design and animation tool that exports directly to Flutter. It was presented at Flutter Live 2018, and one of the greatest features about it is that you get to work exactly on the same assets that will be used in your Flutter app. The animations you create with Flare can be changed from your Flutter code at runtime, making it great for apps that need user interaction.

This means that you have a designer's tool whereby you can create assets and animate them, and then enclose the final results of your design work straight into Flutter.

Flare supports not only Flutter, but also JavaScript, React, Swift, and Framer. For an updated list of the runtimes, have a look at the following link: https://rive.app/runtimes.

In larger workgroups, with Flare, designers can create, animate, and share their files with developers, and that's exactly...
