Write the code that matters…

Code on GitHub: hillelcoren/flutter-redux-starter

I’m still relatively new to this Redux thing but it seems one point can be agreed on by everyone, there’s a lot of boilerplate code.

Building apps in many ways is like running a small company, there are always various departments at work vying for time and resources. Considering both are limited it’s imperative that developers spend their time writing the code that’s special to their app.

To help make writing Redux apps with Flutter faster we’ve created a library which automatically generates the CRUD (create, read, update and delete) code for you. It takes a standard REST API and converts it into a performant Flutter app.

We’re developing this project in parallel with the mobile app for our invoicing platform. We’re working to improve the code templates through experiences solving problems for our app. The thought is if more people are using the same base templates we can collectively improve them to benefit everyone.

I created two videos to help explain the project. The first video is extremely short (a bit over a minute) and demonstrates using the project to create an app.

The second video is longer (closer to 10 minutes) and goes into more detail explaining why we created the project and how it works under the hood.

While many awesome Flutter apps look nothing like a CRUD app many others do. Hopefully the library can benefit some developers out there. If you try it out and have any questions let me know.
