Are state management frameworks indispensable?
I wrote multiple production apps in Flutter (and some other reactive toolkits like SwiftUI) over the recent years, but somehow only recently came across state management packages - previously I just didn't think about it too much. Always thought a well placed state and some SetState callbacks strategically passed around here and there did the job just fine 99% of the time *shrug*.I noticed, however, that a lot of users swear by these packages that supposedly make your life so much easier. I have nothing against making my life easier so I wrote a test app using Provider, which seemed like a pretty good example of what these are and I'm not that convinced.The main advantage of it seems to be eliminating the need to daisy chain callback functions when Widgets that are 15 levels apart from each other need to interact. That's pretty neat. But then it comes at the cost of less encapsulation (passing everything in arguments is tedious but at least it's all self-contained and logical, rather than things "magically" available down the tree), further abstracting the language that's already pretty high level, and an additional dependency to rely on. In general it feels somewhat like coding in Provider rather than Flutter. And also, at times I still had to pass values or contexts which kinda defeated the entire purpose. Selective listening to changes is also nice but that's not that much of rocket science compared to what's already available out of the box either.Don't get me wrong, I'm not trying to bash Provider or state management in general, or be some sort of a die-hard purist. I'd happily incorporate them into my code but would like to get to know some examples of why it's really worth it.Do you use state management packages? What are some great use cases for them?

What i need to learn to be considered a Junior dev?
Hi, i'm currently graduating at a Technical School (and High School), and when I graduate, i would like to work in a Mobile Development Job. Unfortunately I didn't have the mobile development subject in my course, so I am learning flutter by myself, currently developing an e-commerce app.Although I am learning a lot because of this application, what technologies/concepts are important to know? Any recommended learning paths?

This package supports drag & drop widgets inside the GridView.builder for multiplatform. It provides all the properties which are available in Gridview.builder and easy to implement with the few lines of code.

What image type would you recommend for a Mobile/Web project?
Hi Flutter Devs,I am currently developing a project that is intended for iOS, Android, and Web. What image type would you recommend?I am considering SVG files for the convenience of Vectors. Did anyone have pitfalls using flutter_svg?Alternatively should I get high resolution PNGs so that they are supported on web and mobile?Lastly, I could have our designer make mobile images and web images, to separate the resolution/build size.I know there is no simple solution, but I am curious as to what other devs have done! Many thanks in advance!

Should I code my app in Dart or use Flutterflow?
I am mostly proficient with backend work but also have built a fair number of front-end SPAs using Angular, React, and VueJS.I am about to start working on an app that is roughly on par with Instagram in terms of complexity and number of screens. (And, if you think about it, Instagram is pretty simple app compared to other social media apps.) My app will talk to a REST API server, and will use a private OAuth 2.0 server for auth. It will display some charts, graphs, tables, and allow salespeople in the field to pull up CRM records. Target platforms are Android, iOS and... a web app would be nice but from what I'm reading there are problems with web apps in Flutter so I guess I'll build native Mac/Windows apps for desktop.I took a look at Flutterflow (GUI for Flutter app developer similar to Webflow for web sites) and it looks really impressive. I'm wondering if I could pull off building an app with that, instead of making the investment of time time to learn the ins and outs of Dart.I certainly have the chops to learn Dart and write the entire app in code, but learning a new language is always time consuming. I honestly don't relish the idea of spending 40-50 hours immersed in tutorials making a Hello World app. In this case, I really am more focused on just delivering a solid app, than I am in becoming an expert, because I don't anticipate that I'll build any more Flutter apps - just this one. The goal here is not the journey, it's just the end product.Is this possible to pull off in Flutterflow, or foolhardy?

One of the reasons I love #Flutter is that it offers built-in #widgets for almost everything you can think of 🤩 Want to build checkbox tiles? You can use #CheckboxListTile as shown here! 💙

I have this weekend to get familiar with Flutter. Any tips and recommendations for courses/tutorials?
I work as jr. frontend developer. Currently working with Typescript, React and Angular.I could be switched to a project that is written with Flutter. I planned to watch some courses over the weekend. I know that two days are not enough but I just need to get familiar with the basics.I hope you could recommend me some tutorials or courses to watch and share any tips.I am using webstorm for frontend development and planning to use it also for the flutter apps. Is webstorm good or do you recommend some other IDE?
