Getting started

• run chmod +x ./format.sh && ./format.sh to setup git pre commit formatting or
• run chmod +x ./manual_format.sh and run ./manual_format.sh whenever you want to format the dart code
• run flutter packages pub run build_runner build --delete-conflicting-outputs if you plan to add/change any serializers once
• run flutter packages pub run build_runner watch --delete-conflicting-outputs if you plan to add/change any serializers multiple times

Adding support for another language

• Find the language local code from here codes
• Inside of lib/local_setup.dart add the local code to supportedLocalCodes
• Add the local code to the CFBundleLocalizations array in ios/Runner/Info.plist
• Create a <local>.json file under assets/lang/ and fill out every value for your language
• Run flutter clean inside you lib apps directory if flutter complains
• There is also a different way to implement locals using the intl package. An example on how to do so can be found here

Adding app icon

• Change icon assets/images/logo.png to another image
• If new icon has a different path update flutter_icons: in the pubspec.yaml file
• Run flutter pub get and then flutter pub run flutter_launcher_icons:main

Adding another model

Simple model

• Create a <YOUR_MODEL>.dart under core/models/<YOUR_MODEL>/<YOUR_MODEL>.dart
• Copy the AlertRequest from core/models/alert_request/alert_request.dart and replace all the class model names with <YOUR_MODEL>
• Add your own custom getter values.
• Add a part file. Ex: <YOUR_MODEL>.g.dart above the class
• Run flutter packages pub run build_runner build --delete-conflicting-outputs to build your new model

Serializable model

• Create a <YOUR_MODEL>.dart under core/models/<YOUR_MODEL>/<YOUR_MODEL>.dart
• Copy the User from core/models/user/user.dart and replace all the class model names with <YOUR_MODEL>
• Add your own custom getter values.
• Add <YOUR_MODEL> to the list in @SerializersFor class constructor found under core/models/serializer.dart
• Run flutter packages pub run build_runner build --delete-conflicting-outputs to build your new model
