Talk Title
Building Kahoot visually with FlutterFlow and Firebase
When it comes to building mobile apps, there are always tasks that needs to be repeated for every project such as setting up the project, configuring the environment, implementing the authentication, setting up the state management and they can be quite tedious each time. And this extra time can be costly for businesses when their core aim is probably to reduce the TTM (time to market), ship to users in a short time, get feedback, iterate and repeat the cycle again.
In this talk, we explore FlutterFlow, a low-code tool built with Flutter that allows you to build Flutter apps more visually and that solves this very problem for businesses.
Most developers usually avoid most low-code tools because they seem to be limited in their complex logic writing & customisation ability and developers like to know what’s happening under the hood.
In this talk, we build the multiplayer Kahoot game on stage and explore the various customisation possibilities of FlutterFlow when it comes to complex business logic, such as
- Building a Player app and host app for Kahoot game
- Querying the Firebase collection for the game and rendering the collections for players and games and updating the documents on user actions
- Other complex & repeated actions such as authentication, opening gallery for upload to FIrebase, and many more features of the Kahoot game will be implemented.
- Creating conditional UI components, such as the UI will change according to the game status stored in Firebase
- Show the action flow editor on how we can write business logic in a flowchart based format with either straightforward or conditional actions which makes it easy to read & document, but also is quick to duplicate when needed.
- When something is not available in the FlutterFlow platform, I will demo how we can write traditional Flutter & Dart code inside the platform to extend certain functionalities or even make use of the packages from pub.dev
At the end of the session, we will be playing the Kahoot game with the audience and top 10 winners will get some goodies from FlutterFlow.
