Learn FLUTTERFLOW with Real Code Examples
Updated Nov 23, 2025
Explain
FlutterFlow allows users to visually design UI and generate clean Flutter code.
It supports backend integrations, Firebase setup, APIs, authentication, and custom actions.
Apps built with FlutterFlow can be exported as Flutter code or deployed directly to app stores and the web.
Core Features
Visual editor for Flutter UI
Backend connectivity (Firebase, APIs)
App logic with actions and workflows
Generated Flutter code export
Deployment to web, iOS, and Android
Basic Concepts Overview
Widget Tree: hierarchy of UI widgets
Pages: screens in the app
Actions: logic executed on events
Bindings: linking UI to data
Firebase/API: backend sources
Project Structure
Pages - app screens
Components - reusable UI
Firestore/APIs - data sources
Actions - logic and workflow
Theme - global styling
Building Workflow
Design pages using widgets
Link UI to Firebase or API data
Add actions (navigation, CRUD, auth)
Add animations and states
Preview and deploy app
Difficulty Use Cases
Beginner: simple UI screens
Intermediate: apps with forms and Firebase auth
