What problem does it solve?

This Skill streamlines the process of integrating Flutter applications with various backend services, ensuring robust and maintainable data exchange.

Core Features & Use Cases

• REST API Integration: Implement clients using Dio, Retrofit, and handle authentication, retries, and error mapping.
• Firebase Services: Integrate with Firestore for real-time data, Firebase Auth for authentication, and Firebase Storage for file uploads.
• GraphQL Integration: Set up clients using graphql_flutter for queries, mutations, and subscriptions.
• Error Handling: Utilize Either<Failure, T> for predictable error management across network operations.
• Serialization: Employ Freezed and json_annotation for type-safe data models.
• Use Case: Integrate a Flutter app with a RESTful API using Dio and Retrofit, implementing token-based authentication and handling potential network errors gracefully with a custom Failure type.

Quick Start

Use the integrating-flutter-backend skill to set up a Dio client with authentication and retry interceptors for a base URL of 'https://api.example.com'.
