NStack Flutter

NStack Flutter, provided as a plugin package, is a companion software development kit to the NStack backend.

See NStack documentation for more information.

How to use

Install

To use NStack, you will need your typical build_runner setup.
First, install build_runner and NStack by adding them to your pubspec.yaml file:

dependencies:
  nstack:
    git:
      url: git://github.com/nstack-io/flutter-sdk.git
      ref: v0.1.4

dev_dependencies:
  build_runner:

This installs two packages:

• build_runner, the tool to run code-generators
• NStack SDK, which includes a code generator

Run the generator

Create a nstack.json file under /lib that holds your NStack details:

{
  "version": 1,
  "nstack_project_id": "YOUR_PROJECT_ID",
  "nstack_api_key": "YOUR_REST_API_KEY"
}

Now, depending on your use case you have two possibilities to run the generator:

If your package depends on Flutter execute:

foo@bar:~$ flutter pub run build_runner build

Otherwise execute:

foo@bar:~$ pub run build_runner build

A successful execution generates your project tailored nstack.dart file.
See example below on how to use your NStack instance.

Incremental updates

To run a persistent build server that watches nstack.json to automatically trigger rebuilds execute:

foo@bar:~$ flutter pub run build_runner watch --delete-conflicting-outputs

Now increment the "version" number and save (⌘s) to trigger an update.

Example

Import your nstack.dart file and plant your NStackWidget at the root of your application.
Use NStackInitWidget for submitting AppOpen events.

import 'package:flutter/material.dart';
import 'package:nstack_example/nstack.dart';

void main() {
  runApp(NStackWidget(child: MyApp()));
}

class MyApp extends StatelessWidget {
  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return MaterialApp(
      home: NStackInitWidget(
        child: Scaffold(
          appBar: AppBar(
            title: Text(context.localization.test.title),
          ),
        ),
      ),
    );
  }
}
