Study Notes
Flutter Overview
- Flutter is a mobile app development framework that allows developers to create complex yet beautiful user interfaces for their apps.
Flutter Layouts
- Wrap layout: used to wrap widgets to the next line when they exceed the available width.
- Grid layout: arranges widgets in a grid pattern, with rows and columns.
- Spacer: a widget that adds flexible space between two child widgets within a Row or Column widget.
- SizedBox: a widget that provides a fixed size box around its child widget.
Flutter Navigation
- Flutter navigation refers to the process of moving between different screens or pages within a Flutter app.
- The ‘Navigator’ widget manages a stack of routes, or screens, and provides methods for pushing and popping routes onto and off of the stack.
- To navigate to a new screen, you can use the ‘Navigator.push’ method.
- Data can be passed between screens by adding arguments to the constructor of the new screen class, and then passing those arguments when navigating.
Flutter Widgets
- Flutter uses a widget-based architecture to build user interfaces.
- Widgets are the basic building blocks of a Flutter app's user interface and can be thought of as the visual components that make up the app.
- Flutter widgets can be divided into two types: Stateless and Stateful.
Basic Anatomy of a Flutter App
- main.dart: the entry point for the app, contains the main() function, which starts the app and runs the initial code.
- MaterialApp: provides the basic structure for a Flutter app, including the app's theme, navigation, and basic layout.
- Widgets: can be either stateless or stateful, and are used to define the user interface.
- Scaffold: a common container for other widgets in a Flutter app, providing a basic app layout structure.
- Navigation: allows users to move between different screens or views within the app.
- State management: the process of managing the data that drives the app's UI.
- Packages: pre-built libraries of code that can be used to add functionality to the app.
