Flutter:How can we use Firebase database with desktop application

Question

I was thinking of developing a desktop application with dart and flutter but i don't know how can i integrate Firebase database with it. Any suggestions will be appreciated. Thanks in advance

Answer 1

Use Firedart package to integrate FIrebase to Desktop-based Flutter apps.

https://pub.dev/packages/firedart

Documentation Says

This library attempts to minimize dependencies with the intention of making it able to run in any environment capable of executing dart code. Currently it has been successfully tested using the dart runtime (x86-64 and arm32) as well as on Flutter Android, iOS and Desktop.

I connect Firebase with my windows flutter app using http method; code and snapshot are below. Firebase real time database work perfectly. i follow this tutorial https://medium.com/flutterdevs/http-request-dcc13e885985

my code is:

import 'dart:convert';

import 'package:flutter/material.dart';
import 'package:http/http.dart' as http;

void main() => runApp(new MyApp());

class MyApp extends StatelessWidget {
  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return new MaterialApp(
      title: 'Flutter Demo',
      theme: new ThemeData(
        primarySwatch: Colors.blue,
      ),
      home: new MyHomePage(),
    );
  }
}

class MyHomePage extends StatefulWidget {
  @override
  _MyHomePageState createState() => new _MyHomePageState();
}



class _MyHomePageState extends State<MyHomePage> {
  int _counter = 0;

  void _incrementCounter() {
    setState(() {
      _counter++;
    });
    sendData();
  }

  sendData() {
    http.post(
        Uri.parse(
            "https://rest-12bb2-default-rtdb.firebaseio.com/userprofile.json"),
        body: json.encode({
          'firstName': "b",
          'lastName': "c",
          'email': "f",
        }));
    // setState(() {
    //   userProfile.add(Profile(
    //     firstName: firstname;
    //     lastName: lastname;
    //     email: email;
    //   ));
    // });
  }

  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return new Scaffold(
      appBar: new AppBar(
        title: new Text("app"),
      ),
      body: new Center(
        child: new Column(
          mainAxisAlignment: MainAxisAlignment.center,
          children: <Widget>[
            new Text(
              'You have pushed the button this many times:',
            ),
            new Text(
              '$_counter',
              style: Theme.of(context).textTheme.display1,
            ),
          ],
        ),
      ),
      floatingActionButton: new FloatingActionButton(
        onPressed: _incrementCounter,
        tooltip: 'Increment',
        child: new Icon(Icons.add),
      ),
    );
  }
}
