In this blog we will learn about how to connect FlutterFlow with Supabase.
Introduction
FlutterFlow works smoothly with Supabase, making it a great choice for your app’s backend. Supabase is like a ready-made server that helps you manage important features without extra effort.
What is FlutterFlow
FlutterFlow is a popular visual development tool built on Flutter, allowing developers to quickly design and build web and mobile apps using a drag-and-drop interface, without writing complex code.
What is Supabase
Supabase is an open-source Backend-as-a-Service (BaaS) that provides a Firebase alternative. Its services include authentication, database management, storage, and more.
Why use FlutterFlow with Supabase
1.Flutter and Supabase are open-source, which means they are open for everyone to use and don’t lock you into one company.
2. FlutterFlow handles the frontend, Supabase handles the backend, so you don’t waste time setting up infrastructure.
3. You can focus on app logic instead of boilerplate code for login, database connections, etc
4. Supabase’s free tier combined with FlutterFlow’s low-code approach reduces development costs.
5. Supabase supports live data sync, perfect for chats, dashboards, and notifications.
How to Create the User Interface usign the FlutterFlow
1.Create a New Project
Open FlutterFlow , start a new project and choose a blank page.
2.Add a Header Section
Drag a Container at the top, set the background color to purple, place a Text widget inside, and set it as “Simple UI” with bold styling.
3.Add a ListView for Products
Below the header, add a ListView widget to display multiple product cards.
4.Design Each Product Card
Inside the ListView, add a Container and include three Text widgets for Product Id, Product Name, and Product Price, styled with proper padding and spacing.
5.Preview the App
Run the preview and you’ll see the product list displayed as clean cards under the “Simple UI” header.
Create FlutterFlow UI
We created a product card with Product Id, Name, and Price inside a styled container.
The cards are displayed in a scrollable ListView for a clean and organized layout.
