It's the end of 2019 and in the starting of this decade when the iPhone came, it brought the concept of apps, they were there before iPhone came but the iPhone pushed this industry to what it is today. Nowadays, every business needs an app to generate the customer as 99% of their audience uses phone nowadays. In 2019 Android and iOS are the popular choices of platform and they both had their own needs for the apps in terms of development. But then came the era of React Native from facebook which boosted the market of hybrid and native apps. And Flutter is considered to be future of mobile app development now.
Google launched the future of mobile app development language of their known; flutter back in 2017 but was not able to compete with speed, efficiency & reliability of React Native form Facebook. But they are launching flutter again this December and here's why it is going to stay and will take over the hybrid app development industry. Applications build of flutter have a single code base, is coded on native arm code, uses GPU & can access platform API's and services easily.
Here is an in-depth analysis of Flutter.
Supersonic Performance.
Flutter in mobile app development means faster and dynamic performance. According to requirements, a developer can easily alter the source code which helps in hot reload feature of the application. Flutterby default creates application who are performance-based, you just need to avoid some common mistakes to create an application which has exceptional performance. Flutter don't need micro-optimisation with complicated profiling techniques.
Meaningful and Adaptive UI
Creating beautiful and attractive applications is in the DNA of Flutter. Every feature of Flutter is focused on providing native end-user experience. The fully layered architecture gives developers flexibility in development options such as full-customisation, having control of every pixel. Widget is provided for both iOS and Android which provides exceptional user-friendly, attractive and best digital experience.
Native Performance
WIth pre-set features like fonts, icons, scrolling and navigation, Flutter is going to become the default native framework for the mobile app development industry. Flutter framework have widgets as central class hierarchy and it provides and very natural look in any application irrespective of the screen sizes, density for both iOS and Android. Every framework is built on a mother code. For Flutter that core is DART.
So, let's get into why DART?
Why DART?
Dart uses C-style syntax, developed by google which is capable of transcompiling optional in JS. Dart is a class defines, object-oriented, garbage-collected language which can produce desktop, mobile, web and backend applications. It is very easy compared to other programming languages for producing attractive and fast applications on multiple platforms. Apart from these more technically:-
- Dart is very language if a developer wants to learn it. It has very user-friendly and familiar with both static and dynamic languages.
- Dart's declarative and the programmatic layout is accessible and is very easy for reading and visualisation. For declarative languages (XML or JSX), it allows avoiding the need. Having all the layout in a single language, it very easy for Flutter to provide advanced tools for generating innovative layout.
- For the creation of smooth transitions and animation, Dart is very simple and straightforward. Due to lack of any Lock, It can easily do object allocation and garbage collection. And apps created on Flutter are compiled for the native code, slowing of bridge in domains is eliminated. In return, the apps start faster.
- (JIT) Just In Time, a very popular feature of Flutter's and sub-second stateful got reload are compiled for boosting fast development.
- Dart is already is ahead of its time with native codes, fast and predictable which makes Dart perfect for Flutter.
Flutter had now gained its popularity more than when it was released in 2017. It had some issues that needed to be solved and on this December 11 2019. Flutter is a new era of native app development and we are ready for it and for your projects.
