Building production-ready applications can often be time-consuming and filled with repetitive coding tasks. But fear not! With the introduction of Flutter Starter, we can streamline this process effectively. Below, learn how to set up your project with this powerful starter kit and leverage its essential features.

Introduction

Flutter Starter is designed to help developers kickstart their projects quickly. It bundles essential modules such as State Management, API calls, and Style Guides, allowing you to focus on the unique aspects of your applications without the need to rewrite redundant code.

Why Use Flutter Starter?

When you create a Flutter application, you’re often starting from scratch with any given template. The Flutter Starter addresses this issue by implementing the **DRY Principle**—“Don’t Repeat Yourself.” This principle promotes better code maintainability and efficient development practices as it allows each module to have a single place of truth.

Key Features of Flutter Starter

• Folder Structure: A well-defined folder hierarchy makes navigation seamless.
• Style Guide: Easily maintain a consistent style with pre-defined assets and themes.
• API Calls: Pre-built files for handling various API types—REST, GraphQL, or Firebase.
• State Management: Comes equipped with state management solutions using Bloc.
• Routers and Dependencies: Quick addition of routers and dependencies by copying available versions from pub.dev.
• Testing and Deployment: A dedicated test folder for writing and organizing test cases, with resources for deployment on both Android and iOS.

How to Install and Use Flutter Starter

To begin using Flutter Starter, you first need to install Flutter on your system. Follow this guide available at Flutter Installation.

Next, navigate to our Github repository to create your project template.

To run your project, use the command:
