Variable Size List (Dart)

A variable-sized list allows you to dynamically add or remove elements after it's declared. It can grow or shrink as needed.

Fixed Size List (Dart)

When declaring a fixed-size list, you specify the number of elements it will hold. You cannot change its size, although individual element values can be modified.

Map (Dart)

A Map in Dart stores data as key-value pairs. Each key is associated with a corresponding value. Keys and values can be of different types.

Control Flow (Dart)

Control flow determines the order in which statements are executed. It allows you to make decisions and repeat blocks of code.

Study Notes

Flutter Introduction

  • Flutter is an open-source mobile application development framework developed by Google.
  • It allows for the creation of beautiful, natively compiled, multi-platform applications from a single codebase.
  • This means developers can build applications for iOS, Android, web, Windows, macOS, Linux, and embedded systems using a single codebase.

Why Flutter?

  • Cross-platform: Develop for multiple platforms (iOS, Android, web, etc.) from a single codebase.
  • Fast: Compiles to ARM or Intel machine code and JavaScript for high performance on any device.
  • Flexible: Developers have control over every pixel for customized, adaptive designs.
  • Beautiful: No compromises for designers, allowing for visually appealing applications.
  • Productive: Hot Reload feature enables quick iteration and updates without losing application state.
  • Open source: Everything is free to use and open source.

Flutter Key Features

  • Cross-Platform Language: Build natively compiled applications for mobile, web, and desktop from a single codebase.

  • Fast: Flutter code compiles to ARM or Intel machine code as well as JavaScript, for fast performance.

  • Flexible: Full control over every pixel for customized and adaptive designs.

  • Beautiful: No compromise on visual appeal and design.

  • Productive: Hot Reload enables quick iteration without losing application state.

  • Open: The framework and associated libraries are open-source and free.

  • Portable: Same code runs across platforms.

  • Build Anywhere: Compatible with various development tools and platforms.

Dart Introduction

  • Dart is a client-optimized language for creating fast, high-performing apps for any platform.
  • Its use is core to Flutter, and it's used for building mobile, web, and desktop applications.
  • Dart is an object-oriented, class-based, garbage-collected programming language.
  • Its syntax shares similarities with other languages (like C-style).

Dart Features

  • Easy to Understand: The code reuse makes programs very clean and easy to understand.
  • Object-Oriented Programming (OOP): Dart incorporates the fundamental OOP features of modern languages such as Java, C++, etc., making it easy for programmers to follow the same principles and concepts from other languages while using Dart.
  • Open Source: Many organizations and developers use Dart's open-source nature to contribute and create more efficient ways to apply Dart.
  • Browser Support: Dart is supported by all browsers due to its dart2js compiler, and it converts Dart programs to Javascript code for processing on modern browsers.
  • Type-Safe: Dart is considered type-safe due to the combination of static and runtime checks that ensure variable values match variable type.
  • Flexible Compilation and Execution: Dart supports both JIT (Just-In-Time) and AOT (Ahead-of-Time) compilations.
  • Asynchronous Programming: Dart supports asynchronous programming, meaning the program can respond to other sets of tasks while executing a primary set of tasks.

Flutter Structure

  • Material App
  • Scaffold
  • Center
  • Text

Different Types of Dart Variables

  • Static: Variables declared with a specific data type.
  • Dynamic: Variables whose data type is determined at runtime.
  • Final or const: Declaring constant variables that can not change during compilation and runtime.

Null Safety

  • Dart's default behavior is to not allow variables to be assigned null until they are explicitly defined to accept null values.
  • To declare a variable as nullable, append a '?' to the type of the variable.

Dart Operators

  • Arithmetic: Operators for basic mathematical operations (addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, modulus, etc.).
  • Relational: Operators used to compare values to return a boolean value.
  • Type Test: Operators (e.g., is, is!) for checking the type of an object.
  • Logical: Operators used to combine or reverse boolean expressions and return true or false
  • Bitwise: Operators for performing bitwise operations.
  • Conditional: Operator that simplifies if-else statements in different contexts.
  • Assignment: Operator assigning a value to a variable.

Standard Input/Output in Dart

  • Dart supports input from the console using stdin.readLineSync().
  • Output to the console can be done using print() statements.

Dart Data Types

  • Number: int, double, num, BigInt
  • Strings: String
  • Booleans: bool
  • Lists: List
  • Maps: Map

Flutter Widgets

  • Central building blocks for creating user interfaces in Flutter.

  • Describe how app views should look and behave.

  • Widgets can be visible (output, input) or invisible (layout, control).

  • Visible Widgets: Text, Button, Image

  • Invisible Widgets: Column, Row, Center, Padding, Scaffold, Stack, Icon

  • State Management widgets:

  • StatelessWidget

  • Stateful Widget

Flutter Layouts

  • Single Child Widgets: Container, Padding, Center, SizedBox, AspectRatio, Baseline, ConstrainedBox
  • Multiple Child Widgets: Row, Column, ListView, GridView, Stack, Expanded

Flutter Gestures

  • Pointers: Raw data about user interaction (touches, mouse).
  • Gestures: Semantic actions based on pointer events (tap, drag, long press)

Flutter State Management

  • Ephemeral State: related to a specific widget.
  • App State: Shared among different parts of the app, persists across user sessions.

Database Packages in Flutter

  • Sqflite: Lightweight, serverless, relational.
  • Firebase: Cloud-based, real-time data synchronization.

Database Steps

  • Create a project.
  • Define a model class.
  • Open the Database.
  • Create a Table.
