Project Description

In this project, we’ll learn about several Flutter packages that help simplify the process of creating Flutter apps and lead to a cleaner and more standardized app architecture. We’ll explore these tools in detail and learn how to use them effectively.

We’ll use a basic app structure and progressively improve it by adding these tools. We’ll learn to use melos to manage dependencies and nested projects, very_good_cli to generate a boilerplate app with linting and flavors set up, mason to create templates, retrofit to make simpler API calls, and freezer to manage the models within our REST APIs.

These tools are widely used by the Flutter development community, allowing developers to focus on core functionalities and business logic rather than boilerplate code and project structure. This project is ideal for beginners and intermediate Flutter developers who want to streamline their development process and learn industry-standard practices.
