Flutter & Firebase: Bringing Life To Your Flutter Application

Dash, Flutter & Dart Mascot

“Flutter is the first UI platform that is designed for an ambient computing world.” Tim Sneath, Product Director, Flutter & Dart

Flutter is a new emerging cross-platform SDK that is developed by Google. In this fast-growing world, with new technologies coming and old fading away. Flutter is meant to stay. Native app and web development platforms that are designed to build applications for a particular native platform, flutter makes it a lot easier to build a code for an application that will run on multiple platforms. I mean how time-saving and cost-efficient that would be.

Now, as we got to know what to do, let’s move on to how to do it.

Being open-source, flutter is growing fast in terms of advancements and features that it has got. Flutter has got its documentation which has everything from layout to animations. It also has a flutter cookbook in which you can access all things you can do in a flutter.

Also, the blogs and reading material are endless on the web, there are many cool videos as well that you can find on YouTube. Some amazing Udemy courses can also help you out with your flutter journey. But the best way to learn anything is by doing, reading and seeing videos won’t help you much if you don’t go out and get your hands dirty. By implementing the things you learned you grab the concept in a better way.

So you made your app using flutter and thinking about what to do next.

Moving ahead to the backend of your application. Huh! That’s a tricky one to handle, but don’t worry we got you covered.

Flutter is supported by firebase for the backend support of your application. Designing the front end part of the application is made using flutter and dart. You added all those animations. And the biggest advantage of using the flutter in your application is the fact that you can focus on the front-end creative process. Using Firebase in your application is like bringing life to your flutter application.

Firebase is backend as a service platform (BaaS) that manages the real time data, real time crash analysis, cloud storage, user authentication and many more useful features. It makes you save time on creating a backend server for your application.

Firebase provides you with a complete package of products that make your application to improve the quality and performance, and helps the clients to get desired results by growing their business.

Firebase has got its documentation where you can learn from fundamentals and carry on your flutter journey. It lets you build, Release & Monitor, and Engage with your application as you progress on your journey of creating a real-world application. It has got guides, code labs, reference documentation, quick start, and samples on the official website of flutter documentation.

Steps to make your flutter application run with firebase:

1. Create a flutter application using the flutter and dart. In this step, you will write all the source code for your application.
2. Now the next step is to register your flutter application with firebase.
3. Add the Firebase configuration file into the runner directory of your flutter application.
4. Use the FlutterFire plugins in your application. There are many flutter plugins available that are designed to provide you with a wide range of features that you can use in your application.

By following the above steps you are all set to rock your flutter application by integrating it with firebase.

Now that you get to know cool things about flutter and how you can integrate your flutter application with firebase. The learning journey does not stop here, but it starts from here. The internet world is full of help to support your flutter journey.
