State is data that an application needs to display appropriate content and function correctly. It is divided into two conceptual types: Ephemeral State and Application State. This article helps to distinguish between them. Table of Contents 1. Ephemeral State 2. Application State 3. Architectural Insights Ephemeral State Ephemeral state, also
Monorepos store multiple projects in a single repository, providing benefits such as atomic changes, shared dependencies, and unified workflows. However, they can also introduce complexity when it comes to managing various packages and apps. In this article, we’ll explore how to effectively manage a monorepo in the Dart/Flutter
Icons are essential in modern app design, providing clear visual cues, improving navigation, and enhancing the overall interface. In Flutter, you can work with icons using three main approaches: Icon widgets (from icon fonts), flutter_svg, and vector_graphics. In this article, we’ll compare these options and explore when
