Posted on Sep 23 Flutter, developed by Google, is a popular open-source UI framework for building natively compiled applications for mobile, web, and desktop from a single codebase. It enables developers to create beautiful and high-performance apps for iOS, Android, and the web with a single codebase. In this tutorial, we'll walk through the process of getting started with Flutter and building a simple cross-platform mobile app.Before we get into this article, if you want to learn more on Flutter, I would recommend the tutorials over at Educative, who I chose to partner with for this tutorial.Before we begin, ensure that you have the following tools and knowledge:Flutter SDK installed on your system. You can download it from the official website: https://flutter.dev/docs/get-started/install.An integrated development environment (IDE) like Visual Studio Code (recommended) or Android Studio with the Flutter plugin installed.Basic knowledge of Dart, the programming language used by Flutter.Let's start by setting up Flutter on your system:Install Flutter by following the official installation guide: https://flutter.dev/docs/get-started/install.Verify your installation by running the following command:This command will check for any issues with your Flutter installation and provide recommendations to resolve them.Now that Flutter is set up, let's create a new Flutter project:Replace my_first_flutter_app with your preferred project name.Let's build a simple counter app to get started:Open the lib/main.dart file in your project directory. This is the entry point for your Flutter app.Replace the existing code with the following:This code defines a simple Flutter app with a counter that increments when a button is pressed.You can run your Flutter app on an emulator or a physical device:Ensure you have an emulator or a physical device connected and recognized by Flutter.Run the following command to start the app:This command will build and run the app on the selected device.Congratulations! You've successfully created a basic Flutter app. Flutter's extensive widget library and cross-platform capabilities make it a powerful choice for developing mobile applications. You can expand on this tutorial by exploring more Flutter widgets, adding navigation, integrating APIs, and building more complex and feature-rich apps.
