Working on a Flutter app that talks to an API server?
You want to fetch data from a REST API, serialize it, store it for offline use and hook it up with your state management solution – all that for 20+ interconnected models in your app.
Trying to make this work with http/Chopper/Firebase, json_serializable, ad-hoc caching, Provider wiring up, custom loading/error states (not to mention sync’ing with local storage, Hive or SQLite)… can be painful 😫.
What if you could get it all working smoothly with minimal effort?
