Yo! In Flutter.

Basically Yo! written in Flutter. Done in a three hour workshop with people who never used Flutter before 🍻

Lesson 1

• Clone the project git clone [email protected]:flutter-school/yo-flutter.git and
• run it flutter run

Flutter install instructions:

• https://flutter.dev/docs/get-started/install
• https://flutter.dev/docs/get-started/editor

If you have trouble setting up flutter, ask for support

You've finished this lessen if you see the congratulations screen on your phone.

Lesson 2

Create the list layout of your friends. Use the screenshot above as reference.

1. Create a FriendsPage widget. "Screen" are called "Pages" in Flutter.
2. Use the ListView.builder widget to show the items.

Use the existing Person data class in person.dart.

Here are some helpful snippets:

final List<Person> friends = [
    Person("ffff", "Frederik Schweiger", "https://pbs.twimg.com/profile_images/1074391975820972033/SP7txc1D_400x400.jpg"),
    Person("pppp", "Pascal Welsch", "https://pbs.twimg.com/profile_images/941273826557677568/wCBwklPP_400x400.jpg"),
    Person("gggg", "Georg Bednorz", "https://pbs.twimg.com/profile_images/1091439933716381701/PIfcpdHq_400x400.png"),
    Person("ssss", "Seth Ladd", "https://pbs.twimg.com/profile_images/986316447293952000/oZWVUWDs_400x400.jpg"),
    Person("kkkk", "Kate Lovett", "https://pbs.twimg.com/profile_images/1048927764156432384/JxEqQ9dX_400x400.jpg"),
    Person("tttt", "Tim Sneath", "https://pbs.twimg.com/profile_images/653618067084218368/XlQA-oRl_400x400.jpg"),
    Person("hhhh", "Filip Hráček", "https://pbs.twimg.com/profile_images/796079953079111680/ymD9DY5g_400x400.jpg"),
    Person("aaaa", "Andrew Brogdon", "https://pbs.twimg.com/profile_images/651444930884186112/9vlhNFlu_400x400.png"),
    Person("nnnn", "Nitya Narasimhan", "https://pbs.twimg.com/profile_images/988808912504733697/z03gHVFL_400x400.jpg"),
];

List<Color> _colors = [
    Color(0xFFF8B195),
    Color(0xFFF67280),
    Color(0xFFC06C84),
    Color(0xFF6C5B7B),
    Color(0xFF355C7D),
    Color(0xFF34495D),
];

Lesson 3

Build the login screen with scoped_model

Use the existing SessionModel in session_model.dart and register it globally in your main function.

final SessionModel sessionModel = SessionModel();
runApp(ScopedModel<SessionModel>(
  model: sessionModel,
  child: YoApp(),
  ));

Build a Widget which toggles between the FriedsPage and a LoginPage depending on the session state. Use ScopedModelDescendant to access the SessionModel

ScopedModelDescendant<SessionModel>(
    builder: (BuildContext context, Widget child, SessionModel model) {
      // TODO use model
      return anyWidget;
    },
),

Lear how ScopedModel works under the hood: InheritedWidgets and App-scope/Page-scope

Lesson 4 (optional)

We want to send YO!s to each other via push notifications. You need a apple developer account to make it work with iOS. For now, we'll focus on Android to receive the notifications.

The android project is already fully connected to a instance firebase. If you want full access you have to create your own firebase project.

• Create the Android app

  • applicationId school.flutter.yo
  • SHA-1 D2:6E:E8:94:62:5E:1D:74:C7:84:26:0A:32:8A:4E:26:2D:DD:FE:E4 (for existing key flutterschool.jks)

• (Create the iOS apps with school.flutter.yo as bundleId)

• Download the firebase configuration files to

  • android/app/google-services.json
  • ios/Runner/GoogleService-Info.plist On iOS you need to edit ios/Runner/Info.plist and paste in your REVERSED_CLIENT_ID.

• Enable Google Authentication (Develop -> Authentication -> Sign-in method -> Goolge -> Enable)

• Deploy firebase cloud functions, see fireabse/README.md

Lesson 5

Show real users form firebase

1. Refactor your static FriendsPage and load your Friends from firebase. Don't put the Firebase loading code in the UI, create a page-scoped model (FriendsModel).

Here's some code for you to start

class FriendsModel extends Model {
  /// Easy access to this model using [ScopedModel.of]
  static FriendsModel of(BuildContext context) =>
      ScopedModel.of<FriendsModel>(context);

  FriendsModel(this.userModel) {
    _loadFriends();
  }

  List<Person> get friends => _friends?.toList() ?? [];
  Iterable<Person> _friends;

  bool get isLoading => _friends == null;

  SessionModel userModel;

  Future<void> sendYo(Person person) async {
    // TODO
    throw "not implemented";
  }

  Future<void> _loadFriends() async {
    // TODO
    throw "not implemented";
  }
}

Now implement the data loading. This is how you get your friends form firebase. (Don't forget to notify the UI after loading)

import 'package:cloud_firestore/cloud_firestore.dart';

final stream = Firestore.instance.collection(Person.REF).orderBy("name").snapshots();
stream.listen((QuerySnapshot snapshot) {
  final friends = snapshot.documents.map((data) => Person.fromJson(data.data));
});

Lesson 6

Send push notifications

Register for firebase notifications after successful login

import 'package:firebase_messaging/firebase_messaging.dart';

final fmToken = await FirebaseMessaging().getToken();
Firestore.instance
    .collection("tokens")
    .document(_user.uid)
    .setData({'token': fmToken})

Tip: print a message with the users email address after successfully writing the token to firebase.

Lesson 7

Send yo! to another user

Implement FriendsModel.sendYo and call the firebase cloud function to notify other users that you think about them

await http.get('https://us-central1-yo-flutter-80f0f.cloudfunctions.net/sendYo?'
    'fromUid=${userModel.uid}&toUid=${person.uid}');

Caution:

• You won't see a notification if the app is in foreground
• Test on a real device, not the emulator/simulator
• It doesn't work on iOS unless you've registered you APNs Authentication Key

Bonus 1

Add a logout button to your app. Call ScopedModel.of<SessionModel>(context).logout(); instead of creating a ScopedModelDescendant.

Bonus 2

Rewrite the FriendsModel using immutable collections from kt.dart

Disclaimer

Please note that this code is not production ready, it should just show how quick you could build a million dollar app for Android and iOS 😉

Finished app

If you run into trouble we have a working example for you. Run

flutter run lib/finished/finished.dart
