at_events_flutter example

The [at_events_flutter] package is designed to make it easy to manage events between atsigns.

Give it a try

This package includes a working sample application in the example directory that demonstrates the key features of the package. To create a personalized copy, use at_app create as shown below or check it out on GitHub.

$ flutter pub global activate at_app 
$ at_app create --sample=<package ID> <app name> 
$ cd <app name>
$ flutter run

Notes:

1. You only need to run flutter pub global activate once
2. Use at_app.bat for Windows

How it works

Like most applications built for the atPlatform, we start with the at_onboarding_flutter widget which handles secure management of secret keys for an atsign as cryptographically secure replacement for usernames and passwords.

We use the [Onboarding()] widget in our [main.dart] and navigate to our [second_screen.dart] after successfully onboarding.

If you want to remove any already paired atsign, use the Clear paired atsigns button, it will remove all the paired atsigns for this example package.

As the [at_events_flutter] package has to be initialised, so we initialise it in the [init()] of second_screen.dart by calling

    initialiseEventService(NavService.navKey,
        mapKey: dotenv.get('MAP_KEY'),
        apiKey: dotenv.get('API_KEY'),
        rootDomain: 'root.atsign.org',
        streamAlternative: updateEvents
    );

NOTE:

1. Make sure to pass in the [MAP_KEY] and the [API_KEY] in the .env file.
2. The [at_events_flutter] depends on [at_location_flutter] for location sharing, so we use the default value of [initLocation] (true) in [initialiseEventService()].

We also pass a function [updateEvents] to [initialiseEventService()] in the [streamAlternative] parameter which will give us a list of updated events from the [at_events_flutter] package.

The [second_screen.dart] consists of the following functions:

• Create event - Will build the default create event bottomsheet. To use this functionality call [CreateEvent()].
• Move to the map screen for an event - Call [HomeEventService().onEventModelTap()] and pass in the event parameter.
