Using Firestore as a backend to your Flutter app

The Firebase Cloud FireStore is a fantastic way to put a backend on a Flutter app without the complexities of setting up a personal serverIn this video, Andrew walks through how to integrate a Cloud Firestore database from Firebase into a Flutter app. He also covers what kind of database Cloud Firestore is and how it can help you!

Flutter is Google’s mobile SDK for crafting high-quality native interfaces on iOS and Android in record time. Flutter works with existing code, is used by developers and organizations around the world, and is free and open source.

Compact with exactly useful information. The most professional flutter tutorial video I've seen so far. Thank you.

[LadislavSzolik]

Thanks Andrew! That it very useful! I need to say, you got a natural and friendly voice to explain!

[drthvady]

This was really cool! The like button lights up when he gets to the part where he talks about the db updating in response to UI events!

this covers all I need to know in less than 12 minutes. what a video.

[lordeloalvaro]

I've start using flutter, though it's very hard to find a good example of how to,
There're lot of videos I'd like to have just a doc that explains every widget.
Thanks for the video tutorial and great job

They put the iOS screenshot on the pixel...

Honestly a really amazing video. Very thorough, informative and somehow condensed into a 12 minute video. Thanks a lot

Note that you should use the console to edit the Database.Rules to avoid a PERMISSION error on the android app; change "allow read, write: if false;" to "allow read, write: if true;"

Thank you for your infromative tutorial. However, we are in 2021 and too much updates applied on Flutter and Dart. Therefore, we need a 2021 videos. Appretiate the help.

[강준우-wx]

Thank you so so much It's so clear that can understand how connect to database and write data just following. Thank you for serving this amazing dart language and flutter developers.

[faheemahmad]

this was awesome!! please make more like these and go indepth

[jasonsebring]

There really is a ton of work being done for you here. I normally would have to setup a socket server and a way to sync things together upon fresh load etc etc. I wonder about buffering when say there are 10000 things going on at once meaning say you were showing popular posts in a feed that were showing meta items like votes and chat counts etc.

I am aware that firestore is in beta. But if i were to use it in production in one of my apps, Will firebase team notify devs about breaking changes before they were made
Please reply

[MichaelDuarte]

Its amazing how simple this was to implement.

[GideonvanderMerwe]

Hey Andrew, thanks for the awesome video. I have a question. Let's say you log in with firebase and pull some data down e.g. your latest band votes/results. Now lets say you close the app completely, even from the background. Then you open it again with no internet. Will it still use the last data pulled from firestore, or will it use the default values that you demonstrated? Thanks

[kamranyusifov]

This is good. But please update the codelab to the recent changes, like the firebase core requirement.

[Trancecend]

Good tutorial. I would have mentioned, however, that the iOS step for adding the Pod dependency SHOULD be skipped, instead of not mentioning it at all. But still good, I got started pretty quickly.

[chstrng]

Could we get some content on how to unit test and mock firestore? It's really hard to unit test streams and no information anywhere.

[superstark]

If I was in a band, I have would have not thought this much at first place. And if I tried to think that much, I would have smashed my guitar out of frustration.
