What is Flutter ?

Technology in mobile app development is increasing rapidly. A few years back for developing mobile apps for different platforms(Android + ios) industries used to hire different teams which are of course very costly, but nowadays with the rise in technology we are able to develop native apps for both the platforms(Android & ios) with a single codebase. It saves a lot of time and cost, that’s a reason why these technologies are in high demand. Flutter is one of those technologies.

Flutter is an open-source UI Mobile SDK developed by Google. You can use it to build native-looking Android & Ios apps from a single codebase. It is capable of hot reloading which also makes it more popular.

Flutter is powered by Dart programming language. Dart is an object-oriented programming language which is also developed by Google.

You can create beautiful UI with flutter with ease.

The Flutter Engine is a portable runtime for hosting Flutter applications. It implements Flutter’s core libraries, including animation and graphics, file and network I/O, accessibility support, plugin architecture, and a Dart runtime and compile toolchain.

The Flutter framework is the most relevant to the app developer. Flutter apps can look like native iOS or Android applications, simply by using the right themes. Cupertino is for iOS and Material is for Android. You can also make your app look however you want, regardless of themes

In Flutter, widgets are the building blocks. Flutter draws the UI component in a blank canvas. Widgets are UI components(buttons, sliders, text inputs, etc) which you can use in your app & they are highly customizable.

You can start flutter development by either installing Android studio or vs code. You have to just configure a little with installing flutter & dart plugins

It saves a lot of time as Flutter offers a stateful hot reload, allowing you to make changes to your code and see the results instantly without restarting your app or losing its state.

Since flutter widgets are part of the app, not the platform you will face fewer compatibility issues on different platforms.

Both Flutter & Dart are open source and free to use. It has extensive documentation & a large community to support which can help you with any problem you face.

It’s cheaper to develop a mobile application with Flutter because you don’t need to create and maintain two mobile apps

Flutter is a modern framework. It’s way simpler to create mobile applications with it. If you have used Java, Swift, or React Native, you’ll notice how Flutter is different.
