QuickLinker is a Flutter-based application engineered to streamline the process of shortening URLs. It provides an intuitive interface for users to quickly shorten their links, with the added convenience of offline access to their URL history.
This is not just a technical showcase but also a testament to clean architecture and user-centric design in Flutter applications. It stands as a public testament to efficient problem-solving through technology.
The application is structured to emphasize readability and scalability. It's organized into logical layers, each with a distinct role following the Model-View-ViewModel (MVVM) pattern. This architecture facilitates a clean separation of UI, state management, and business logic.
Utilizing Hive, a high-performance key-value database, QuickLinker offers rapid and responsive local data storage capabilities. This choice empowers users to access their data instantly, even in offline modes, enhancing the overall user experience.
The application embraces reactive state management through ChangeNotifierProvider and Consumer
widgets, which ties the UI closely with the ViewModel. This design pattern ensures that the UI
reacts to the state changes in the ViewModel, maintaining a clear and reactive user interface.
QuickLinker is designed with connectivity in mind. It gracefully handles network changes, disabling functionalities that require internet access and enabling them as soon as the connection is restored. Users are kept informed with unobtrusive notifications, allowing for a seamless experience.
The application is conscientious about device resources. Services like connectivity monitoring are paused when the app is not active, ensuring that device resources are not used unnecessarily. Upon resuming, services are reactivated to keep the app's state current.
The project is accompanied by a suite of unit and UI tests, affirming the reliability of the core functionalities. Code quality is rigorously maintained, adhering to Flutter's best practices and linting rules to ensure a clean, maintainable, and bug-free codebase.
To generate the models, execute:
flutter packages pub run build_runner build
To run QuickLinker on your device, ensure you have Flutter installed and configured. Then, execute the following command in your terminal:
flutter run
Unit and widget tests are an integral part of QuickLinker. To run the tests, use:
flutter test
QuickLinker uses custom icons and splash screens for a branded experience. To generate them, run:
flutter pub run flutter_launcher_icons:main
flutter pub run flutter_native_splash:create
