mobilefoundation 8.0.2021020108

A new flutter plugin project.

IBM Mobile Foundation Flutter Plugin

---

To add IBM MobileFirst™ Platform Foundation capabilities to an existing Flutter app, you add the flutter_ibm_mobilefirst plug-in to your app. The flutter_ibm_mobilefirst plug-in contains the IBM MobileFirst Platform Foundation SDK.

How to install?

Follow these steps to install the plugin to your existing Flutter App:

1. Depend on it:

   Add this to your package's pubspec.yaml file:

   dependencies:
     flutter_ibm_mobilefirst: ^8.0.2020120110
   

2. Install it

   You can install packages from the command line with Flutter:

   flutter pub get

   Alternatively, your editor might support flutter pub get. Check the docs for your editor to learn more.

3. Import it

   Now in your Dart code, you can use:

   import 'package: flutter_ibm_mobilefirst/client.dart';
   

How to use it?

Let's see how can we get an Access Token using flutter_ibm_mobilefirst plugin.

First we will import authorization_manager.dart file into our App.

import 'package: flutter_ibm_mobilefirst/authorization_manager.dart';

Next, we will call obtainAccessToken method on a instance of MFAuthorizationManager

MFAuthorizationManager authManager = new MFAuthorizationManager();
authManager.obtainAccessToken().then((accessToken) {
   print("Token is ----> " + accessToken.value);
   setState(() {
     _result = "Successfully received token";
   });
}).catchError((error) {
   print("Error in obtain access token. Reason: " + error.toString());
   setState(() {
     _result = "Failed to fetch token";
   });
});

Obtaining Access Token from MF Server is an asynchronous call, notice how .then and .catchError is used.
