Description
Undoubtedly, chat apps have become a hot topic of the town and have taken the world by storm in recent years. With 2 billion users accessing the WhatsApp messenger on a monthly bases and projected to generate the revenue of 4.8 billion in 2020, it is safe to say that the chat apps will not go anywhere in future. Monthly active users of the top 3 chat apps including WhatsApp, Facebook Messenger and WeChat have around 4 billion active monthly users.
Now the important question is “ how you can develop a highly functional chat app and what technologies you can use to create this app?”.
The simple answer to this question is: using Flutter with Firebase!
Flutter app development has taken the world by storm in terms of cross-platform mobile application development. You can use it to create pixel-perfect UIs, and many development companies use Flutter today.
You will learn to build a very basic version of chat application just to make sure we know how to implement Flutter and Firebase Concepts in real world applications. You will learn how to implement the core database operations in Cloud Firestore: how to get (read), add (write), edit, and delete data in the database in a Flutter app.
Why Firebase?
What I like about Firebase as a Flutter developer is how easy it is to use it! all I need is to install the required dependencies, as we are going to see later. The flexibility of NoSQL Databases, personally I really find SQL to be so exhausting. That means there are no tables and rows, simply collections that contain a list of documents, something like MongoDB. We are talking about a Real-time Database here, it’s really fast!
