Codelabs

The Flutter codelabs provide a guided, hands-on coding experience. Some codelabs run in DartPad—no downloads required!

If you're new to Flutter, we recommend starting with one of the following codelabs:

• Building your first Flutter app (workshop)
  An instructor-led version of our very popular "Write your first Flutter app" codelab (listed below).

• Your first Flutter app
  Create a simple app that automatically generates cool-sounding names, such as "newstay", "lightstream", "mainbrake", or "graypine". This app is responsive and runs on mobile, desktop, and web. (This also replaces the previous "write your first Flutter app" for mobile, part 1 and part 2 codelabs.)

• Write your first Flutter app on the web
  Implement a simple web app in DartPad (no downloads required!) that displays a sign-in screen containing three text fields. As the user fills out the fields, a progress bar animates along the top of the sign-in area. This codelab is written specifically for the web, but if you have downloaded and configured Android and iOS tooling, the completed app works on Android and iOS devices, as well.

• Records and Patterns in Dart 3
  Discover Dart 3's new records and patterns features. Learn how you can use them in a Flutter app to help you write more readable and maintainable Dart code.

• Building scrolling experiences in Flutter (workshop)
  Start with an app that performs simple, straightforward scrolling and enhance it to create fancy and custom scrolling effects by using slivers.

• Dart null safety in Action (workshop)
  An instructor-led workshop introducing the features that enable Dart's null-safe type system.

• How to manage application states using inherited widgets (workshop)
  Learn how to manage the state of your app's data by using the InheritedWidget class, one of the low-level state management classes provided by Flutter.
