Setting up the app

• Initialize the config file

  cp lib/.env.dart.example lib/.env.dart

• Support running the code unsigned on Android

  cp android/app/build.gradle.dev android/app/build.gradle

rm pubspec.lock

Application Architecture

The application was created using the Flutter Redux Starter.

The architecture is based off these two projects:

• Redux Sample - Brian Egan
• inKino - Iiro Krankka

File Structure

A High-level overview of the project structure:

lib/                     # Root Package
|
├─ data/                 # For data handling
│  ├─ mock/              # sample used for testing
│  ├─ models/            # Objects representing data
│  ├─ repositories/      # Source of data
|
├─ redux/                # manages app state
│  ├─ component/         # app building block
│     ├─ actions         # methods to update app state
|     ├─ middleware      # run in response to actions, execute before reducer
|     ├─ reducer         # intercepts actions, responsible for updating the state
|     ├─ selectors       # read data from the state, queries against your 'state database'
|     ├─ state           # immutable object that lives at the top of the widget hierarchy
|
├─ ui/                   # app views
│  ├─ component/         # views for different components
│    ├─ view/            # generel view for component
│    ├─ edit/            # change values on the views fields
|
├─ utils/                # Utility classes

The ui and redux folders contain components that are paired together. Put simply you will find an 'auth' folder in both the ui and redux folders.

• Additional thoughts

Code generation

• Run flutter packages pub run build_runner build --delete-conflicting-outputs to regenerate the model files. It will also remove the old generated files so conflicts are avoided..

Tests

• Run flutter drive --target=test_driver/all_it.dart to run the tests
