Building a news app with Flutter
Blog post from LogRocket
The text outlines a detailed process for creating a personalized news app using Flutter. It begins with setting up the necessary dependencies and configuring WebView for both Android and iOS platforms. The app utilizes the News API to fetch and display the latest headlines, allowing users to select news based on country, category, or channel through a side drawer widget. It employs a GetX Controller for state management, which handles various functions such as fetching data and updating the user interface. The app's user interface includes a search bar, a carousel widget for displaying top headlines, and a custom NewsCard widget for individual articles. Additionally, the app features a WebView screen for reading full articles, a splash screen for app branding, and a home screen that integrates all these components. The guide emphasizes the importance of understanding JSON endpoints, retrieving data from APIs, and presenting it effectively on a mobile interface, while also providing a link to the complete code on GitHub for further exploration.
