Example project to explore the BLoC architecture and learn Flutter/Dart

The aim of this project is to learn Flutter and BLoC architecture, as well as keeping things simple, secure while using good software development practices.

If you want to clone this project and try it out, you should follow the next steps:

Create an assets folder juts in the root of this project, and inside it, you would need to store the secrets.json file.

The IMDB API Key could be obtained from this link

secrets.json:

{
  "api_key": "YOUR_API_KEY"
}

If the files inside models/ folder are changed, we would need to run:

$ flutter packages pub run build_runner watch

In order to automatically generate the .g files, that would contain the necessary code for JSON parsing given a model.

• BLoC (Business Logic Component) architecture
• JSON Serialization
• Load a list retrieved from a web service
• Hide Secret API Key
• Business models & Data models
• Mapper between models
• Open detail when clicking on an item
• Unit tests
• Widget tests
• Code coverage report
• Check that code style is following most of Dart/Flutter specs

In order to work with this project I will be following and merging these different articles:
