Travel Planner + Whiteboard + Recipe Manager in Flutter Web
What We Shipped
Three features in one session for θͺεζ ͺεΌδΌη€Ύ:
- Travel Itinerary Planner β competing with Google Travel, TripAdvisor
- Virtual Whiteboard β competing with Miro, Microsoft Whiteboard
- Recipe & Meal Planner β competing with Cookpad, Amazon Fresh
All three used pre-existing Edge Functions β the session was entirely Flutter UI.
Edge Function First: UI Catches Up to Backend
// Travel planner: invoke the EF, parse the response
final response = await _supabase.functions.invoke(
'travel-itinerary-planner',
queryParameters: {'view': 'itinerary', 'trip_id': tripId},
);
final data = response.data as Map<String, dynamic>?;
if (data?['itinerary'] is Map) {
final raw = data!['itinerary'] as Map;
setState(() {
_itinerary = raw.map(
(k, v) => MapEntry(
k.toString(),
(v as List).cast<Map<String, dynamic>>(),
),
);
});
}
The Edge Functions (travel-itinerary-planner, virtual-whiteboard, recipe-meal-planner) already existed. The Flutter UI was built to consume them. Pattern: deploy backend logic first, ship UI when ready. The two timelines are independent.
Tab Layouts
| Feature | Tabs |
|---|---|
| Travel Planner | Itinerary / Bookings / Packing List / Budget |
| Whiteboard | My Boards / Templates |
| Recipe Manager | Recipes / Meal Plan / Shopping List |
All use SingleTickerProviderStateMixin + TabController:
class _TravelItineraryPageState extends State<TravelItineraryPage>
with SingleTickerProviderStateMixin {
late final TabController _tabController;
@override
void initState() {
super.initState();
_tabController = TabController(length: 4, vsync: this);
_fetchTrips();
}
RadioListTile β ListTile + Icon Migration
Flutter 3.32+ deprecated RadioListTile.groupValue / onChanged. For simple dialogs, replace with ListTile + a check icon:
// DEPRECATED
RadioListTile<String>(
value: tmplId,
groupValue: _selectedTemplateId,
onChanged: (v) => setState(() => _selectedTemplateId = v),
title: Text(template['name']),
)
// CORRECT (Flutter 3.32+)
final isSelected = _selectedTemplateId == tmplId;
ListTile(
leading: Icon(
isSelected ? Icons.check_circle : Icons.radio_button_unchecked,
color: isSelected ? const Color(0xFF6366F1) : Colors.grey,
size: 20,
),
title: Text(template['name']),
selected: isSelected,
onTap: () => setState(() => _selectedTemplateId = tmplId),
)
Behavior is identical. No RadioGroup migration needed for this use case.
const Propagation: Outer Widget Must be const Too
prefer_const_constructors requires const on widgets with no runtime-variable children. But the outer widget must also be const for the lint to pass:
// BEFORE β lint error: prefer_const_constructors on inner widgets
return Center(
child: Column(
mainAxisSize: MainAxisSize.min,
children: [
const Icon(Icons.flight_takeoff, size: 64, color: Colors.grey),
const SizedBox(height: 16),
const Text('No trips yet'),
],
),
);
// AFTER β const propagates outward
return const Center(
child: Column(
mainAxisSize: MainAxisSize.min,
children: [
Icon(Icons.flight_takeoff, size: 64, color: Colors.grey),
SizedBox(height: 16),
Text('No trips yet'),
],
),
);
When all children are const, the parent Column and Center can also be const. Remove the const from each child and move it to the outermost widget.
require_trailing_commas: Multi-Line Formatting
// WRONG β missing trailing comma
_budgetStat('Balance', 'Β₯${_formatNum(remaining)}',
remaining >= 0 ? Colors.green : Colors.red),
// CORRECT β trailing comma added, each arg on its own line
_budgetStat(
'Balance',
'Β₯${_formatNum(remaining)}',
remaining >= 0 ? Colors.green : Colors.red,
),
The trailing comma rule fires when arguments span multiple lines. dart format can auto-apply this β run it before every commit.
Type Name: HomeToolEntry Not HomeTool
One easy-to-miss mistake when adding to the tool catalog:
// WRONG β doesn't exist
HomeToolCategory(tools: [HomeTool(...)])
// CORRECT
HomeToolCategory(tools: [HomeToolEntry(...)])
flutter analyze catches this as undefined_identifier immediately. Run analyze after every page addition β don't wait for CI.
