Motivation

Exhibition is a Flutter framework for developing an Flutter app very quickly.

Glossary

• The dev-app is the Flutter application that should be developed with Exhibition.
• A module is an object normally stored in one database table. Example: the module Users handles data of a user who can login to the app.
• The metadata of a module is a dart class specifying all properties of the module in a well readable form. This must be defined by the developer.
• Basic actions are: create, edit ("change"), list ("show many"), standard ("user defined") and delete.
• A page is a dialog for exactly one basic action of a module. The page name is normally the name of the basic action, but can be changed. Normally each module has the pages new, edit and list.
• The rest_server is a sub project of the dev-app implementing a backend for managing the data storage in a MySql database. . See Exhibition-RestServer

Installation

• Clone the Git project exhibition from github.
• Create the project files for the dev-app:

# precondition: the current directory is the parent of the base folder of Exhibition
if [ ! -d exhibition/bin/meta_tool.dart ]; then
  echo "+++ $(pwd) is not the parent of the base folder of exhibition!"
else
  APP=myapp
  flutter create $APP
  cd $APP
  flutter config linux
  ../exhibition/tools/InitProject $APP
