Responsive UI with ScreenUtil

All CloudMedia widgets support flutter_screenutil for responsive sizing across different screen sizes.

Setup ScreenUtil in your app

import 'package:flutter/material.dart';
import 'package:flutter_screenutil/flutter_screenutil.dart';

void main() async {
  WidgetsFlutterBinding.ensureInitialized();
  
  // Initialize ScreenUtil before runApp
  await ScreenUtil.ensureScreenSize();
  
  runApp(const MyApp());
}

class MyApp extends StatelessWidget {
  const MyApp({super.key});

  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return ScreenUtilInit(
      designSize: const Size(375, 812), // Design size (e.g., iPhone 13)
      minTextAdapt: true,
      splitScreenMode: true,
      builder: (context, child) {
        return MaterialApp(
          title: 'My App',
          theme: ThemeData(primarySwatch: Colors.blue, useMaterial3: true),
          home: child,
        );
      },
      child: const HomePage(),
    );
  }
}

ScreenUtil Methods Used in Widgets

Method Purpose Example
.w Width scaling (horizontal) 16.w
.h Height scaling (vertical) 24.h
.r Radius / Square scaling 8.r
.sp Font size scaling 14.sp

Example: Responsive CloudImage

// Width and height auto-scale with ScreenUtil
CloudImage(
  media: item,
  width: 200,   // automatically scaled as 200.w
  height: 200,  // automatically scaled as 200.h
  fit: BoxFit.cover,
)

// Without explicit dimensions - uses parent constraints
CloudImage(
  media: item,
  fit: BoxFit.cover,
)

Firebase Setup & Examples

Firebase Project Setup

  1. Create a Firebase project at https://console.firebase.google.com

  2. Register your app:

    • Android: Add package name, download google-services.json
    • iOS: Add bundle ID, download GoogleService-Info.plist
    • Web: Add app, get Firebase config
  3. Enable Firebase services:

    • Authentication (enable Anonymous or Email/Password)
    • Firestore Database (create in test mode first)
    • Storage (create in test mode first)
  4. Add Firebase to your Flutter project:

flutter pub add firebase_core firebase_auth cloud_firestore firebase_storage
  1. Generate Firebase options:
dart run build_runner build --delete-conflicting-outputs

Firebase Authentication

Anonymous Sign-in (simplest for testing):

import 'package:firebase_auth/firebase_auth.dart';

Future<void> signInAnonymously() async {
  try {
    final userCredential = await FirebaseAuth.instance.signInAnonymously();
    print('Signed in with: ${userCredential.user?.uid}');
  } on FirebaseAuthException catch (e) {
    print('Failed: ${e.message}');
  }
}

Email/Password Sign-in:

Future<void> signInWithEmail(String email, String password) async {
  try {
    final userCredential = await FirebaseAuth.instance
        .signInWithEmailAndPassword(email: email, password: password);
    print('User: ${userCredential.user?.uid}');
  } on FirebaseAuthException catch (e) {
    if (e.code == 'user-not-found') {
      await FirebaseAuth.instance.createUserWithEmailAndPassword(
        email: email,
        password: password,
      );
    }
  }
}

Google Sign-in:

import 'package:google_sign_in/google_sign_in.dart';

Future<void> signInWithGoogle() async {
  final GoogleSignInAccount? googleUser = await GoogleSignIn().signIn();
  final GoogleSignInAuthentication googleAuth = 
      await googleUser!.authentication;
  
  final credential = GoogleAuthProvider.credential(
    accessToken: googleAuth.accessToken,
    idToken: googleAuth.idToken,
  );
  
  await FirebaseAuth.instance.signInWithCredential(credential);
}

Upload to Firebase

Automatic Upload (CloudMedia handles everything):

// Just pick - CloudMedia auto-uploads to Firebase!
final items = await CloudMedia.pick();

// The item automatically uploads to:
// Firestore: /users/{userId}/media/{mediaId}
// Storage: /users/{userId}/media/{mediaId}/{fileName}

// Watch for completion
CloudMedia.watch(items.first.id).listen((item) {
  if (item.status == CloudMediaStatus.synced) {
    print('Uploaded to: ${item.downloadUrl}');
  }
});

Manual Upload Control:

// Force sync immediately
await CloudMedia.sync();

// Check pending uploads
final pending = await CloudMedia.getPendingCount();
print('$pending items uploading');

Custom Upload with Metadata:

// Pick with custom metadata
final items = await CloudMedia.pick();

// Add custom metadata after upload
final item = items.first;
await CloudMedia.updateMetadata(item.id, {
  'category': 'profile',
  'tags': ['vacation', 'summer'],
  'location': 'Paris',
  'customField': 'any value',
});

Get from Firebase

Get all user media from Firebase:

// List all media from Firestore
final allMedia = await CloudMedia.list();
print('Total items: ${allMedia.length}');

// List filtered
final images = await CloudMedia.list(
  type: CloudMediaType.image,
  limit: 20,
);

// Get single item by ID
final item = await CloudMedia.get('media_id_here');
print(item.downloadUrl);

Real-time listening with Stream:

// Listen to real-time updates from Firestore
CloudMedia.watch(mediaId).listen((item) {
  print('Status: ${item.status}');
  print('URL: ${item.downloadUrl}');
  print('Thumbnail: ${item.thumbnailUrl}');
});

// Listen to multiple items
final watcher = CloudMediaWatcher();
watcher.watchMultiple([id1, id2, id3]).listen((items) {
  print('${items.length} items updated');
});

Query Firestore directly (advanced):

import 'package:cloud_firestore/cloud_firestore.dart';

// Get Firestore instance
final firestore = FirebaseFirestore.instance;
final userId = FirebaseAuth.instance.currentUser!.uid;

// Direct query (same as CloudMedia.list())
final snapshot = await firestore
    .collection('users')
    .doc(userId)
    .collection('media')
    .where('deletedAt', isNull: true)
    .orderBy('createdAt', descending: true)
    .limit(50)
    .get();

for (final doc in snapshot.docs) {
  print(doc.data());
}

Delete from Firebase

Delete via CloudMedia (recommended):

// Delete single item (removes from Storage + Firestore)
await CloudMedia.delete(mediaId);

// Delete by item reference
await CloudMedia.deleteRef(item);

// Delete all images
final images = await CloudMedia.list(type: CloudMediaType.image);
for (final img in images) {
  await CloudMedia.delete(img.id);
}

Restore deleted item:

// Restore soft-deleted item
await CloudMedia.restore(mediaId);

Direct Firebase delete (advanced):

// Delete from Storage and Firestore manually
final userId = FirebaseAuth.instance.currentUser!.uid;

// Delete from Storage
final storageRef = FirebaseStorage.instance
    .ref('users/$userId/media/$mediaId/filename.jpg');
await storageRef.delete();

// Delete from Firestore
await FirebaseFirestore.instance
    .collection('users')
    .doc(userId)
    .collection('media')
    .doc(mediaId)
    .delete();

Firebase Security Rules (Complete)

Firestore Security Rules — firestore.rules:

rules_version = '2';
service cloud.firestore {
  match /databases/{database}/documents {
    function isAuthenticated() { return request.auth != null; }
    function isOwner(userId) { return request.auth.uid == userId; }
    
    match /users/{userId} {
      allow read, write: if isAuthenticated() && isOwner(userId);
      
      match /media/{mediaId} {
        allow read: if isAuthenticated() && isOwner(userId);
        allow write: if isAuthenticated() && isOwner(userId);
        
        allow create: if isAuthenticated() && isOwner(userId) 
          && request.resource.data.keys().hasAll([
            'userId', 'type', 'fileName', 'mimeType', 
            'size', 'storagePath', 'status', 'createdAt'
          ]);
          
        allow update: if isAuthenticated() && isOwner(userId)
          && request.resource.data.userId == resource.data.userId;
          
        allow update: if resource.data.status == 'pending' 
          && request.resource.data.status == 'syncing'
          || resource.data.status == 'syncing' 
          && request.resource.data.status == 'synced'
          || resource.data.status == 'syncing' 
          && request.resource.data.status == 'failed'
          || resource.data.status == 'synced' 
          && request.resource.data.status == 'deleted';
      }
    }
  }
}

Firebase Storage Rules — storage.rules:

rules_version = '2';
service firebase.storage {
  match /b/{bucket}/o {
    function isAuthenticated() { return request.auth != null; }
    function isOwner(userId) { return request.auth.uid == userId; }
    
    match /users/{userId}/{allPaths=**} {
      allow read, write: if isAuthenticated() && isOwner(userId);
      
      allow create: if isAuthenticated() && isOwner(userId)
        && request.resource.size < 100 * 1024 * 1024
        && request.resource.contentType.matches('image/.*|video/.*|audio/.*|application/pdf');
        
      match /thumbnails/{thumbnailId} {
        allow create: if request.resource.size < 500 * 1024;
      }
    }
  }
}

Firestore Indexes

Create these indexes in Firebase Console → Firestore → Indexes:

{
  "collectionId": "media",
  "fields": [
    {"fieldPath": "deletedAt", "mode": "ASCENDING"},
    {"fieldPath": "createdAt", "mode": "DESCENDING"}
  ]
}

{
  "collectionId": "media",
  "fields": [
    {"fieldPath": "deletedAt", "mode": "ASCENDING"},
    {"fieldPath": "type", "mode": "ASCENDING"},
    {"fieldPath": "createdAt", "mode": "DESCENDING"}
  ]
}

    priority: 1,
    idempotencyKey: 'post_upload_$mediaId',
    data: {
      'filePath': filePath,
      'storagePath': storagePath,
      'postId': postId,
      'userId': userId,
      'mediaId': mediaId,
      'fileName': fileName,
      'mimeType': mimeType,
    },
  );
}

9. Read Back from Custom Collection

Future<List<CloudMediaItem>> getPostMedia(String postId) async {
  final snap = await FirebaseFirestore.instance
      .collection('posts')
      .doc(postId)
      .collection('media')
      .orderBy('createdAt', descending: true)
      .get();

  return snap.docs.map(CloudMediaItem.fromFirestore).toList();
}

Stream<List<CloudMediaItem>> watchPostMedia(String postId) {
  return FirebaseFirestore.instance
      .collection('posts')
      .doc(postId)
      .collection('media')
      .orderBy('createdAt', descending: true)
      .snapshots()
      .map((snap) => snap.docs.map(CloudMediaItem.fromFirestore).toList());
}

10. Core Upload Helper

Future<String> _uploadToStorage({
  required String filePath,
  required String storagePath,
  required String contentType,
  Map<String, String>? customMetadata,
}) async {
  final ref = FirebaseStorage.instance.ref(storagePath);
  await ref.putFile(
    File(filePath),
    SettableMetadata(
      contentType: contentType,
      customMetadata: {
        'uploadedAt': DateTime.now().toIso8601String(),
        ...?customMetadata,
      },
    ),
  );
  return ref.getDownloadURL();
}

Custom Path Patterns Reference

// Social
'posts/{postId}/media/{mediaId}'
'stories/{userId}/frames/{frameId}'
'users/{userId}/avatar/{mediaId}'

// E-commerce
'products/{productId}/images/{mediaId}'
'shops/{shopId}/banners/{mediaId}'

// Education
'courses/{courseId}/lessons/{lessonId}/videos/{mediaId}'

// Chat
'chats/{chatId}/attachments/{mediaId}'
'groups/{groupId}/media/{mediaId}'

// Business
'projects/{projectId}/documents/{mediaId}'
'invoices/{invoiceId}/attachments/{mediaId}'

// Music
'artists/{artistId}/albums/{albumId}/tracks/{mediaId}'
