⁠How to build

1. Install flutter⁠

2. Clone the repo:

git clone --recurse-submodules https://gitlab.com/ChristianPauly/fluffychat-flutter
cd fluffychat-flutter

⁠Android / iOS

1. For Android install CMake from the SDK Manager

2. Install ninja:

sudo apt install ninja-build

1. Outcomment the Google Services plugin at the end of the file android/app/build.gradle:

// apply plugin: "com.google.gms.google-services"

1. flutter run

⁠Web

1. flutter channel beta && flutter upgrade

2. flutter config --enable-web

3. flutter run

⁠Build the docker image

Use docker build the container image

docker build -t flutter-web .

If you have some problem during cache, you can clean cache by this

docker build --no-cache -t flutter-web .

⁠After Success building image

Run the docker image with localhost 1200 port. You can change to any other port just replace it.

docker run -d -p 1200:80 --name flutter-web flutter-web

Here we go, open browser and go to http://localhost:1200/⁠

⁠How to add translations for your language

You can use Weblate to translate the app to your language:

https://hosted.weblate.org/projects/fluffychat/⁠

1. Replace the non-translated string in the codebase:

Text("Hello world"),

with a method call:

Text(L10n.of(context).helloWorld),

and add the following import if missing:

import 'package:flutter_gen/gen_l10n/l10n.dart';

1. Add the string to /lib/l10n/l10n_en.arb:

(The following example need to be sorounded by the usual json {} and after the @@locale key)

Example A:

"helloWorld": "Hello World!",
"@helloWorld": {
  "description": "The conventional newborn programmer greeting"
}

Example B:

"hello": "Hello {userName}",
"@hello": {
  "description": "A message with a single parameter",
  "placeholders": {
    "userName": {
      "type": “String”,
      “example”: “Bob”
    }
  }
}

1. For testing just run a regular build without extras
