Dart can be a very fresh and new experience to someone who is accustomed to javascript or java. Before you start considering yourself an amateur fin the dart regime, there are a lot of similarities which help any java developer get accustomed to the dart interface very quickly. So while Dart might look like a new challenge except that it is totally not. Besides javascript and dart, Flutter also has several similarities in parallel to React Native and any existing react native developer can consider him/herself experienced in the field. Flutter has some breakthrough technologies in the field of app speed and native UI components for android and ios separately. As one of the top Flutter app development company in USA we are in constant touch with the latest practices and methods that this very new platform is capable of delivering.
Let us look a few exercises we come across that can always help enhance your flutter app development routines:
Code Editor
The Flutter documentation recommends using IntelliJ IDE in combination with the VS Code as my code editor. The Dart Code extension also gives us some really nice development features. This contributes to quick coding and reducing volume aligned with great communication strategies amongst your team members.
Documentation
Flutters initial docs might appear a little incomplete and might appear to lag behind on a few points. It does explain the process of building basic widgets for your application but in terms of the dart regime it has to totally depend on your instinct when it is concerned with writing complex apps. But post its latest version release, Flutter has incorporated all the subtle details and rookie developer might need to get started.
Building First Screen Pages
While creating a new Flutter project, you gain access to the working starter app which helps you you to get started easily.There are several great tutorials present in the official pages and stackoverflow which help you fetch a good overview of the platform. It guides you all the way from setting up the environment to building the application and connecting the core components. Carefully selected in built features like the Navigation come handy in almost any application and are pretty straightforward to use.
Connecting to Backend
Flutter has a plugin called FlutterFire which is a similar analogue to what firebase is for react native. FlutterFire is provided by google. Without this connecting to backend is a relatively complex process and if you are facing problems then you can go through this tutorial.
Initially you might face a few problems with the integration and it can be irritating the fact that I can cause your work to stop unexpectedly. This could be because of errors in the bundle ID.
