🔧 Configuration

Environment Setup

Backend API Configuration

Update lib/core/constants/api_client.dart:

// Development
static const String baseUrl = "http://localhost:3000";

// Production
static const String baseUrl = "https://elearningspace.online";

File Storage Configuration

Update the file storage URL in api_client.dart:

static const String fileStorageBaseUrl = "https://your-cdn-url.com";

Firebase Configuration (for deployment)

Install Firebase CLI
```
npm install -g firebase-tools
```
Login to Firebase
```
firebase login
```
Initialize Firebase
```
firebase init hosting
```
- Select your Firebase project
- Set public directory to: build/web
- Configure as single-page app: Yes
- Don't overwrite index.html: No

Deploy to Firebase

flutter build web --release
firebase deploy --only hosting

Bonus Point (AI for Elearning System using OpenAI API key)

🔥 Deploy Firebase Cloud Functions

If the project has been cleaned before submission (the node_modules folder inside functions/ has been removed), the instructor must reinstall dependencies and redeploy Cloud Functions:

cd functions
npm install
firebase deploy --only functions

These Cloud Functions provide AI-powered features such as interactive AI chat and automatic quiz question generation.

When you use automatic quiz question generation(OOP Question Creation Content). This is content for AI : " Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) is a programming paradigm based on the concept of "objects", which can contain data and code. The four main principles of OOP are: Encapsulation, Inheritance, Polymorphism, and Abstraction. "

🛠️ Development

Running in Development Mode

# Run on Chrome
flutter run -d chrome

# Run with hot reload

# Run on specific port
flutter run -d chrome --web-port 8080

Building for Production

# Build web release
flutter build web --release

# Build with optimizations
flutter build web --release --web-renderer html

# Build with canvas renderer (better performance)
flutter build web --release --web-renderer canvaskit

Code Quality

📦 Dependencies

Main Dependencies

flutter_secure_storage - Secure token storage
go_router - Navigation and routing
http - HTTP client for API calls
socket_io_client - WebSocket real-time communication
file_picker - File upload functionality
fl_chart - Charts and analytics
intl - Internationalization and date formatting

Dev Dependencies

flutter_lints - Linting rules

See pubspec.yaml for complete list of dependencies.

🔐 Authentication

The app uses JWT-based authentication with automatic token refresh:

Login - User enters credentials
Token Storage - Access and refresh tokens stored securely
Auto Refresh - Tokens automatically refreshed before expiration
Logout - Tokens cleared and user redirected to login

Token Management

Access tokens stored in flutter_secure_storage
Automatic refresh 5 minutes before expiration
WebSocket reconnection on token refresh

🌐 API Integration

REST API

All API calls go through ApiClient class:

// GET request
final response = await ApiClient.get('/courses');

// POST request
final response = await ApiClient.post('/assignments', body: data);

// File upload
final response = await ApiClient.postMultipart(
  '/files/upload',
  fields: {'type': 'material'},
  platformFiles: files,
);

WebSocket

Real-time features use Socket.IO:

// Connect
await WebSocketService().connect();

// Send message
await WebSocketService().sendMessage(
  receiverId: userId,
  content: message,
);

// Listen for messages
WebSocketService().messageStream.listen((message) {
  // Handle incoming message
});

🎨 Theming

The app supports light and dark themes:

// Toggle theme
MyApp.of(context)?.toggleTheme();

// Current theme
final isDark = Theme.of(context).brightness == Brightness.dark;

📱 Responsive Design

The app adapts to different screen sizes:

Desktop (>900px) - Sidebar navigation
Tablet (600-900px) - Drawer navigation
Mobile (<600px) - Bottom navigation

🚢 Deployment

Firebase Hosting

Build the app
```
flutter build web --release
```
Deploy to Firebase
```
firebase deploy --only hosting
```
Access your app
```
https://your-project-id.web.app
```

Custom Domain

Add custom domain in Firebase Console
Update DNS records
Wait for SSL certificate provisioning

🐛 Troubleshooting

Common Issues

Issue: "Failed to load network image"

Check CORS configuration on backend
Verify file storage URL is correct

Issue: "WebSocket connection failed"

Ensure backend WebSocket server is running
Check if JWT token is valid
Verify CORS settings allow WebSocket connections

Issue: "Token expired"

Token refresh should happen automatically
If not, logout and login again

Issue: "Build fails on web"

Clear build cache: flutter clean
Get dependencies: flutter pub get
Rebuild: flutter build web --release
