How to integrate ButterCMS into your Flutter application
Integrating the Butter blog engine into your Flutter app is dead simple. Here's a mini tutorial to get a feel for setting up your blog home and blog post pages.
For a full integration guide, check out our Official Flutter Guide.
Setup the Blog page to list all our posts
We'll setup a page that fetches and displays posts:
import 'dart:convert';
import 'package:flutter/material.dart';
import 'package:buttercms_dart/buttercms_dart.dart';
class PostsListScreen extends StatefulWidget {
final int page;
const PostsListScreen({Key key, this.page}) : super(key: key);
@override
_PostsListScreenState createState() => _PostsListScreenState();
}
class _PostsListScreenState extends State {
Butter butter = Butter("YOUR_API_KEY");
Map jsonMap;
@override
void initState() {
super.initState();
butter.post
.list({"page": widget.page.toString() ?? "1", "page_size": "10"}).then((response) {
setState(() {
// First fetch the json response,then decode into a map
jsonMap = json.decode(response.body);
});
});
}
@override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
return Scaffold(
appBar: AppBar(
title: Text("Posts"),
),
body: jsonMap == null ? _buildLoadingScreen() : _buildBody(),
);
}
Widget _buildLoadingScreen() {
return Center(
child: CircularProgressIndicator(),
);
}
Widget _buildBody() {
List posts = jsonMap["data"];
return ListView.builder(
itemBuilder: (context, position) {
return ListTile(
title: Text(posts[position]["title"]),
leading: Image.network(
posts[position]["fields"]["customer_logo"],
width: 40.0,
height: 40.0,
),
subtitle: Text(posts[position]["author"]["first_name"] +
" " +
posts[position]["author"]["last_name"]),
);
},
itemCount: posts.length,
);
}
}
Once the posts are fetched, we refresh our page by calling setState. All methods in the Butter package return a Future we can use for getting data or catching errors.
Setup the Blog Post page to list a single post
Here, we fetch a single blog post using the slug of the post.
import 'dart:convert';
import 'package:flutter/material.dart';
import 'package:buttercms_dart/buttercms_dart.dart';
class PostDetailScreen extends StatefulWidget {
final String pageSlug;
const PostDetailScreen({Key key, this.pageSlug}) : super(key: key);
@override
_PostDetailScreenState createState() => _PostDetailScreenState();
}
class _PostDetailScreenState extends State {
Butter butter = Butter("YOUR_API_KEY");
Map jsonMap;
@override
void initState() {
super.initState();
butter.post.retrieve(widget.pageSlug).then((response) {
setState(() {
// First fetch the json response,then decode into a map
jsonMap = json.decode(response.body);
});
});
}
@override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
return Scaffold(
appBar: AppBar(
title: Text("Post Detail"),
),
body: jsonMap == null ? _buildLoadingScreen() : _buildBody(),
);
}
Widget _buildLoadingScreen() {
return Center(
child: CircularProgressIndicator(),
);
}
Widget _buildBody() {
Map post = jsonMap["data"];
return ListView(
children: [
Padding(
padding: const EdgeInsets.all(8.0),
child: Text(post["seo_title"]),
),
Padding(
padding: const EdgeInsets.all(8.0),
child: Image.network(post["featured_image"]),
),
Padding(
padding: const EdgeInsets.all(8.0),
child: Text(post["meta_description"]),
),
],
);
}
}
That's it! The blog posts created in your Butter dashboard will immediately show up in your app.
