Introduction to Dart

Client-optimized programming language by Google

Dart is an object-oriented language designed by Google for fast, stable apps on all platforms. Everything is an object, with strong typing, Null Safety, and JIT+AOT compilation.

Dart Basic Syntax

Variables, strings, operators, Null Safety basics

Dart programs start from main(). Covers var/final/const/late/dynamic declarations, string interpolation, Null Safety (?/!/??), and cascade (..) operator.

Dart Type System

Static typing, type inference, generics, typedef

Dart is statically typed with compile-time type checking. Covers type inference, is/as casting, type promotion, generics, and typedef.

Dart Classes & OOP

5 constructor types, inheritance, interfaces, Mixin, factory pattern

Dart is fully object-oriented. Design flexible classes with 5 constructor types, extends/implements/with for inheritance, interfaces, Mixins, and factory patterns.

Dart Collections

List, Set, Map + spread, collection for/if

Dart's 3 core collections — List (ordered, duplicates), Set (unique, set operations), Map (key-value). Powerful data processing with spread, collection for/if, method chaining.

Dart Async Programming

Future, async/await, Stream, FutureBuilder

Handle time-consuming tasks without blocking UI. Future (single result), Stream (continuous events), async/await for sync-like async code.

Dart Exception Handling

try-catch-finally, on-type handling, rethrow

Dart distinguishes Exception (recoverable) from Error (unrecoverable). Covers try-catch-finally, on-type handling, rethrow, and async exception handling.

Dart Extensions

Adding methods/properties to existing classes

Extensions add methods, properties, and operators to existing classes without modifying source or inheritance. Add capitalize to String, isPrime to int, distinct to List.

Dart Records & Pattern Matching

Dart 3.0 — multiple returns, destructuring, switch patterns

Records, introduced in Dart 3.0, are immutable types for grouping values without classes. Combined with pattern matching, switch/if-case can check types and conditions simultaneously.

Understanding Widget Tree

The Foundation of Flutter UI — Everything is a Widget

In Flutter, buttons, text, padding, alignment are all widgets. Understand how Widget → Element → RenderObject, three trees compose the UI

StatefulWidget vs StatelessWidget

Widget Selection Based on State

Static UI uses StatelessWidget, interactive UI uses StatefulWidget — the right choice determines performance and structure

Flutter Layout System

Arranging UI with Row, Column, Stack, Flex

Constraints go down, Sizes go up, Parent sets position — understanding these 3 layout rules lets you freely arrange any UI

Provider & Riverpod

Flutter Official Recommended State Management

Provider is an InheritedWidget wrapper suitable for simple state management, Riverpod is its successor providing compile-time safety and testability

BLoC Pattern

Separation of Concerns with Business Logic Component

One-directional Event → BLoC → State flow completely separates business logic from UI. Excellent maintainability and testability in large-scale apps

Navigation Basics

Screen Navigation with push/pop and Named Routes

Implement stack-based screen transitions with Navigator.push()/pop() and set up URL-based routing with Named Routes

GoRouter Declarative Routing

Flutter Official Recommended Routing Package

go_router handles deep links, redirects, nested routes, and guards (auth checks) cleanly with URL-based declarative routing

REST API Integration

Server Data Communication with http/dio

Practical guide to calling REST APIs with http or dio packages and mapping JSON serialization/deserialization to Dart objects

App Store Deployment

Publishing Flutter App to iOS App Store + Google Play

App signing, build configuration, store registration, review handling — complete process for publishing Flutter app to App Store and Google Play

Platform Channels

Calling Native Code (Swift/Kotlin) from Flutter

How to communicate with Swift (iOS) / Kotlin (Android) code via MethodChannel when native features like camera, Bluetooth, NFC are needed
