Sample Flutter project meant to be used for rapid prototyping with web services. Sample data used comes from the NHL API.

• Dio
• Build Runner
• JSON Serializable
• JSON Annotation

• After basic app has been created update the structure within the lib directory to create directories for models, network, and respository
• Inside of the network directory create an api_service file and add basic Dio functionality
• Inside of the repository directory add a file for the domain of the endpoints to store all related queries ex. nhl_repository.dart
• Inside of the models directory you will create models for any of the objects you want to strongly type from your responses.

Assuming we have the following node response from an endpoint, these are the steps to create a strongly typed data model to reflect the data

"person" : {
  "id" : 8477946,
  "fullName" : "Dylan Larkin",
  "link" : "/api/v1/people/8477946"
},

Inside of the models folder (or subfolder) create a Dart file named person.dart in addition crate a Dart file called person.g.dart Within the person.dart file add the link to the .g.dart file and define the attributes you'd like to type. In addition add factory call to the toJson function that will be generated by json_serializable

import 'package:json_annotation/json_annotation.dart';
part 'person.g.dart';

@JsonSerializable()
class Person {
  /// The generated code assumes these values exist in JSON.
  final int id;
  final String fullName;
  final String link;

  Person({required this.id, required this.fullName, required this.link});

  factory Person.fromJson(Map<String, dynamic> json) => _$PersonFromJson(json);
}

Once the code has been created in the class file run the command flutter pub run build_runner build --delete-conflicting-outputs to automatically generate the code to parse that object
