Networking and API Integration in Flutter & React Native Training Course

Rating

9/10

Duration

3 Days

Course Overview

This course provides in-depth training on networking and API integration in Flutter and React Native. Participants will learn how to connect mobile applications to RESTful APIs using libraries like Retrofit and Dio (Flutter) and Axios and Fetch API (React Native). The training covers data fetching, error handling, authentication, and API optimization techniques, ensuring participants can build efficient, scalable, and secure applications.

Format of Training

  • Instructor-led sessions
  • Hands-on lab exercises
  • Interactive discussions
  • Practical coding demonstrations

Course Objectives

  1. Understand networking principles in cross-platform mobile applications.
  2. Use Dio and Retrofit for API integration in Flutter.
  3. Use Axios and Fetch API for API integration in React Native.
  4. Handle GET, POST, PUT, DELETE requests efficiently.
  5. Manage authentication using tokens and API keys.
  6. Implement error handling and response validation.
  7. Optimize API performance using caching and pagination techniques.

Prerequisites

  • Basic programming knowledge (JavaScript for React Native, Dart for Flutter).
  • Familiarity with Flutter and React Native fundamentals.
  • Understanding of JSON and REST APIs.
Course Outline

Day 1: Introduction to Networking in Flutter & React Native

Session 1: Understanding API Communication in Mobile Apps

  • What are REST APIs, and how do they work?
  • Differences between synchronous and asynchronous requests.
  • Working with JSON data formats.

Session 2: Fetching Data in Flutter using HTTP Package and Dio

  • Introduction to Flutter’s HTTP package.
  • Making GET and POST requests using Dio.
  • Parsing JSON responses using Dart’s built-in serialization.

Session 3: Fetching Data in React Native using Fetch API and Axios

  • Using Fetch API for basic API requests.
  • Setting up Axios for structured API calls.
  • Handling headers and query parameters.

Day 2: Advanced API Handling and Authentication

Session 1: Implementing Authentication with APIs

  • Using JWT (JSON Web Tokens) for secure authentication.
  • Handling login, signup, and token storage.
  • Implementing OAuth authentication (Google, Facebook login).

Session 2: Error Handling and Retry Mechanisms

  • Handling network failures and API timeouts.
  • Implementing try-catch blocks and error interceptors.
  • Using retry strategies and backoff mechanisms for API calls.

Session 3: Optimizing API Performance

  • Implementing caching strategies for reduced API calls.
  • Using pagination and lazy loading for handling large data sets.
  • Best practices for debouncing API requests.

Day 3: Real-World API Integration and Hands-On Project

Session 1: Handling Complex API Calls and WebSockets

  • Making parallel and sequential API requests.
  • Implementing WebSockets for real-time communication.
  • Using GraphQL as an alternative to REST APIs.

Session 2: Secure API Communication and Best Practices

  • Implementing SSL Pinning and HTTPS security measures.
  • Storing API keys securely in Flutter and React Native.
  • Handling CORS issues and cross-origin resource sharing.

Session 3: Hands-On Project: Building a Fully Integrated API-Based App

  • Fetching and displaying dynamic data from a RESTful API.
  • Implementing search and filtering with API queries.
  • Debugging, testing, and optimizing API calls for production.
