Deploy & Run

EasyManage Flutter App builder is the fastest way to bring your CRUD app to life without many weeks of coding. Get everything accomplished already in your app from UI Design to code to handle data and API integrations, authentication, and services like notifications.

tip

Please Deploy and Run backend API project first, API type REST or GraphQL, so that you can test flutter app with Live Data!

Flutter Project set up​

Follow the below steps to delpoy and run the Flutter application:

  • EasyManage Download includes ready-to-deploy app with all files and artifacts.
    • Project is located in flutter\em_app folder, e.g. in Downloaded Build and extracted folder, look for:
    • New Location:
      • <Downloads>\EmGenDir_JohnDoe_WS_50637\WS_50637\frontend\flutter\em_app
    • Old Location:
      • <Downloads>\EmGenDir_JohnDoe_WS_50637\WS_50637\TableServices\appComp\flutter\em_app
      • Open project folder in IDE Visual Studio Code.

Choosing API Type​

  • APIs are wired-in and are invoked without any additional hustle. By default REST APIs are called, and can be changed to GraphQL APIs via a single flag setting.

Default REST APIs​

To verify/change API type to call, And update IP Address setting for APIs, Open file <code>em_app\lib\em_global.dart</code> , and look for block:

```
// -------------------------------------------------------
// EM Global Variables and application properties
// -------------------------------------------------------
// ------ REST API params ---------------
String apiUrl = "127.0.0.1:9080";
String apiPathPrefix = "/emdbrest";

// ------ GraphQL API params ---------------
//Defined both separate as User might Use Grql for Query Only, and they can host REST/Grql separately
String apiUrlGrql = "127.0.0.1:9070";
String apiGrqlPathPrefix = "/graphql";

// ------ REST or GraphQL  ---------------
bool isApiUseGrql = false;
```

Selecting GraphQL APIs​

  • Change isApiUseGrql = false to isApiUseGrql = true.
tip

Specify IP Address for mobile device

Note: Update actual IP Address for api, if using non-web device. 127.0.0.1 works only for web.

Run App​

  • Compile and Run your app on device of your choosing, web or android, or iOS.

  • Once App is running, Select menu options and check-out Screens and features.
