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: new ("create"), edit ("change"), list ("show many") and standard ("user defined")
  • 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 restserver 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 a symbolic link for the command line tool meta_tool:
# precondition: the current directory is the base folder of Exhibition
sudo ln -s $(pwd)/bin/meta_tool /usr/local/bin
  • create a Flutter project (with AndroidStudio). It is important to create the dev-app as neighbour of exhibition: If the base folder of exhibition is /home/ws/flutter/exhibition the base folder of the dev-app "myapp" is /home/ws/flutter/myapp.
