Books App

App and Up Flutter Take Home Project

Introduction

This project is the implementation of the App and Up Flutter Take Home Project.

Requirements

• Authentication with Firebase Authentication (Email + at least one social), design of the required screens is up to you.
• Show a list of books gotten from the Google Books API
• Allow the user to search for books
• Replicate the design given for the page listing the books.
• Add a detail page showing the details of the selected book, the design is up to you.
• Allow the user to add and remove a book from his favorites by saving it on a Firebase Firestore Database.
• BONUS: implement a Firebase Cloud Function doing something you feel worthwhile for the app.
• BONUS: handle App responsiveness on the Desktop/Web.

Implementation

The project was implemented with custom architecture similar to MVVM where

• ViewModels are known as notifiers
• Class Dependencies are managed using the Riverpod Providers
• There are usage of special providers such as StreamProvider, StateProviders that comes with riverpod
• It uses the classic repository approach
• Services for performing network requests, contextless navigation etc are grouped as well

Build Limitations

• The project depends on an API Key (for calling the books api) which I gitignored so kindly generate an APIKey and place an apiKey constant in lib/src/services/base/api_credentials.dart
• Google Signin will also not work until you add a valid SHA 1 key.

When building for Web

run with PORT 5000 for Google Signin to Work i.e flutter run -d chrome --web-port=5000
