What is Flutter❓
So, first let me clear it out Flutter is not a language. Flutter is an open-source Google’s UI tool kit for building applications for mobile, web, and desktop from a single codebase. Dart is the programming language used in Flutter there are many online compilers available that we can use for building applications.
Why Flutter❓
⚡️ One code base for both Android as well as iOS and hence helps in saving a lot of time.
One codebase is used for various platforms and this is one of the biggest advantages that flutter developers have.
⚡️Make 2D animations and your own games with Flutter using simple code.
With the help of Flutter, one can create fluid stunning looking applications. Animations play a very important role in modern-day UX be it in transitions, micro-interactions, state-changes and more.
⚡️Hot Reload: Flutter helps in fixing bugs easily and also add new features without compromising it’s speed at all.
The Hot Reload available in Flutter allows it’s developers to visualize the changes to their codes almost as soon as they are happening, without losing the current state of the application and hence the development becomes faster.
⚡️The Architecture.
One can easily develop an app but the critical part comes when you have to manage it according to the business logic and for that, we need to follow an architecture to manage everything and MVP(Model–view–presenter)is one of the best-suited architectures for it. It has easy integration, maintains speed and is responsive.
⚡️A very supportive and fast-rising community.
The number of developers working with Flutter is increasing with every passing day and because of that, we have more packages built daily, more and more number of blogs and articles are coming in order to help people. Flutter community have their groups on WhatsApp, Discord, slack where developers from all over the world connect together and challenge one another to grow and be better.
