For those who aren't familiar with Apito yet, Apito helps you build your API on Cloud with Authentication, Authorization, CDN, Webhooks, Custom Functions gives you a Content Management Console through a unified API powered by both GraphQL & RESTApi.

So, In this tutorial we are going to build a simple flutter TODO app to understand the basic functionalities of Apito in a comfortable way. For this time we will be using Apito RESTApi service.

First login in Apito (Register if you haven't already). Create a new project (Name it "TODO Notes").

1) Go to Models tab and create a new model named Note:

Note

• title - Single line text field
• note - single line text field
• timestamp - double

2) Go to Contents tab and create some demo data:

3) Get permission token:

For creating reading or making any change into database from client side we must have a token for prohibiting any unwanted access. As of now we will be use one admin token for everyone, so our notes will be publicly accessible. Later we will implement login/register functionality.

For this, go to setting->Api Secrets

Create a new token, Give any name to it, choose role "Admin" and set expiration date.

4) Flutter part:

Now go to Git repo, clone this skeleton flutter project and open it in your favorite IDE.

in the project directory go open lib/infrustructure/note_provider.dart

In line 11 and 12 place your project base url and token.Then run the app and see the magic !!
