Authentication is a crucial part of any application development. When you need to monitor your users’ activities based on their identities or just to verify their identities you have to implement this technique within your apps as it helps secure users’ data, authorizing access, and hence prevents fraud.
Goals
In this tutorial, we'll be learning how to integrate authentication into our FlutterApplication using our Strapi backend. Users will be able to register, log in to our Application.
Strapi is an open-source Content Management System. It enables the creation of customizable APIs in any frontend application including mobile apps. Strapi is so simple to use because it allows you to create flexible APIs with unique features that you'll love.
To keep things organized, you can create custom content types and relationships between them. It also includes a media library where you can store your images and audio files. We’ll be using Strapi for the content that we’ll be using in our Flutter mobile app
What is Flutter
Developed by Google, Flutter is an open-source UI toolkit for building mobile applications. It offers you great features:
Fast development: Paint your app to life in milliseconds with Stateful Hot Reload. Use a rich set of fully-customizable widgets to build native interfaces in minutes.
Expressive and flexible UI : Quickly ship features with a focus on native end-user experiences. Layered architecture allows for full customization, which results in incredibly fast rendering and expressive and flexible designs.
Native performances: Flutter’s widgets incorporate all critical platform differences such as scrolling, navigation, icons and fonts, and your Flutter code is compiled to native ARM machine code using Dart's native compilers.
Strapi i the best fit for Flutter to build rich UI mobile apps powered by mordern and scalable APIs.
