Flutter and Nodejs is covered from beginners to advanced level. We also showed how to deploy your Nodejs server to real world server. You may use that server for free.
We used Nodejs for restful using Express framework. Since it's most popular Nodejs framework, it would be easy to follow for everyone.
We have also build real time chatting with socket, so that you learn how to do chatting with flutter, nodejs, mongodb and socket.
Frontend Flutter we started from onboarding screen to login to chatting app. We have used Provider package for managing state.
Provider is one of the most popular package for managing states and easy to follow. As far as flutter framework goes, we have used the latest version to create this tutorial.
This tutorial covers more than 12 hours which is enough to finish all these. You will start with a starter file and finish with an excellent complete app.
