Discover how to build, scale, and debug native iOS and Android applications from a single codebase using the Dart programming language

Key Features:

Quickly build and iterate on your user interface (UI) with hot reload
Fix bugs and prevent them from reappearing using Flutter's developer tools and test suites
Discover practical recipes for building mobile applications with Flutter

Book Description:

Flutter is an open-source framework for building mobile, web, and desktop apps using the Dart language. With this recipe-based guide, which focuses on robust app design and core principles, you'll learn how to solve cross-platform development issues in a practical way.

The Flutter Cookbook covers error handling and debugging to ensure that your apps run more efficiently. You'll start by setting up Flutter and customizing your development environment. The book will explain the main tasks involved in app development, such as user interface and user experience (UI/UX) design, API design, and creating animations. Later chapters get you up to speed with routing, retrieving data from web services, and persisting data locally. A dedicated section also focuses on Firebase and its machine learning capabilities. The last chapter is specifically designed to help you create apps for the web and desktop (Windows, Mac, and Linux). Throughout the book, you'll find recipes that cover the most important features needed to build a cross-platform application, along with insights into running a single codebase on different platforms.

By the end of this Flutter book, you'll have learned everything you need to be able to write and deliver fully functional apps.

What You Will Learn:

Use Dart programming to customize your Flutter applications
Discover how to develop and think like a Dart programmer
Leverage Firebase Machine Learning capabilities to create intelligent apps
Create reusable architecture that can be applied to any type of app
Use web services and persist data locally
Debug and solve problems before users can see them
Use asynchronous programming with Future and Stream
Manage the app state with Streams and the BLoC pattern

Who this book is for:

This app development book is for beginner to intermediate-level developers who want to become mobile developers. Basic knowledge of modern programming languages such as JavaScript, Swift, Kotlin, Java, Objective-C, or C# will help you to understand the concepts covered in the book more easily.
