Flutter News App
Overview
This Flutter News App is a project designed to showcase best practices in Flutter development, incorporating Clean Architecture, BLoC state management, dependency injection with Get_it, local database storage using Floor, and network calls with Retrofit. The app fetches real-time news data from a public API, providing users with a seamless and responsive news browsing experience.
Features
- Clean Architecture: Separation of concerns for maintainability and scalability.
- BLoC State Management: Efficiently manage and update the UI state.
- Firebase: Authentication of users using Firebase Auth and Firebase Storage.
- Google Sign-In: Users can sign in with their google account.
- Dependency Injection: Utilize Get_it for dependency injection to enhance code organization.
- Local Database: Employ Floor for local data storage, ensuring offline access to previously fetched news.
- Network Calls: Use Retrofit to make efficient and structured API calls.
- Deep Linking: Deep linking is a mechanism that allows direct navigation to specific content within a mobile application, facilitating seamless access to specific screens or actions via URLs or URIs.
