Environments
Dependencies
None
Running the app in different environments
- In the default environment
flutter run
OR
flutter run --dart-define="environment=default"
- In the development environment
flutter run --dart-define="environment=develop"
- In the staging environment
flutter run --dart-define="environment=stage"

About environment configuration
Properties
Environment config contains below properties.
Property Name | Description |
---|---|
appTitle | Represents full name of app |
appTitleShort | Represents short name of app |
envType | Represents environment type (e.g. develop, staging, production, etc.) |
version | Represents current version, in major.minor.patch format (e.g. 1.0.0) |
build | Represents build number, generally date (yyyymmdd) + build of current day (e.g. 2023010101) |
backendUrl | No use |
apiUrl | Represents root endpoint of url |
timeoutLimit | Represents timeout limit for requests (in milliseconds) |
firebaseId | Represents firebase id of app |
enableLocalLogs | Used for enabling/ disabling Local Logs |
enableCloudLogs | Used for enabling/ disabling Cloud Logs |
enableApiLogInterceptor | Used for enabling/ disabling API Request and Response Local logs |
sentryConfig | Contains all essential values for sentry |
pushNotificationsServiceType | Used to set the Push Notifications Service Type |
oneSignalConfig | Used to set the One signal config (needed/ works only when push notification service type is remote) |
internalNotificationsServiceType | Used to set the Internal Notifications Service Type |
pusherConfig | Used to set the Pusher config (needed/ works only when internal notification service type is pusher) |
showDebugPanel | Used for enabling/ disabling Debug Panel |
debugPanelColor | Used for changing color of Debug Panel |
Sentry Config (sentryConfig)
Property Name | Description |
---|---|
dsn | Data Source Name (which is unique per project amd developer can obtain that by creating a new project in sentry) |
enableAutoPerformanceTracing | if set to false nothing will be monitored |
autoAppStart | if enabled will monitor cold and warm start up time |
enableUserInteractionTracing | if enabled will monitor User Interaction |
enableAssetsInstrumentation | if enabled will monitor Asset Performance |
tracesSampleRate | will report uncaught errors as per rate is set, i.e. if it's 0.4 then 40% of all uncaught error will be reported |
Push Notifications Service Type (pushNotificationsServiceType)
Check this.
Possible values for pushNotificationsServiceType
are
Property Name | Description |
---|---|
PushNotificationsServiceType.local | No additional configuration needed to push local notifications |
PushNotificationsServiceType.remote | This will allow dev to push notifications via Remote service (devices which are not local will also be allowed using player id) |
PushNotificationsServiceType.both | This will allow dev to push notifications via Local service (for local device notifications) and to push notifications via Remote service (devices which are not local will also be allowed |
PushNotificationsServiceType.none | No additional configuration needed. Choosing this will disable Push Notifications |
If you choose PushNotificationsServiceType.remote
or PushNotificationsServiceType.both
you need to add oneSignalConfig
as well.
oneSignalConfig: const OneSignalConfig(appId: ''),
Internal Notifications Service Type (internalNotificationsServiceType)
Check this.
Possible values for internalNotificationsServiceType
are
Property Name | Description |
---|---|
InternalNotificationsServiceType.firebase | This will enable internal notifications via firestore |
InternalNotificationsServiceType.pusher | This will enable internal notifications via pusher |
InternalNotificationsServiceType.custom | This will enable internal notifications via custom service |
InternalNotificationsServiceType.none | This will disable internal notifications |
If you choose InternalNotificationsServiceType.firebase
you need to setup firestore and firebase app as well, check more details here.
If you choose InternalNotificationsServiceType.pusher
you need to setup pusher as well, check more details here.
If you choose InternalNotificationsServiceType.cutom
you need to write custom service code in custom.dart
Example of environment config
final EnvironmentConfig developConfig = EnvironmentConfig(
appTitle: 'VaahFlutter',
appTitleShort: 'VaahFlutter',
envType: 'develop',
version: version,
build: build,
backendUrl: '',
apiUrl: '',
timeoutLimit: 20 * 1000, // 20 seconds
firebaseId: '',
sentryConfig: const SentryConfig(
dsn: '',
enableAutoPerformanceTracing: true,
autoAppStart: true,
enableUserInteractionTracing: true,
enableAssetsInstrumentation: true,
tracesSampleRate: 0.6,
),
enableLocalLogs: true,
enableCloudLogs: true,
enableApiLogInterceptor: true,
showDebugPanel: true,
debugPanelColor: AppTheme.colors['black']!.withOpacity(0.7),
);
How can I create a new config and new environment and use it for my app.
- Let's say I already have one default config (developConfig) and I want to copy some of it's properties and want to override some properties. If I don't have any config I need to create one like this.
- Then I can pass different configurations in
_envConfigs
array in Source Code.
Map<String, EnvironmentConfig> _envConfigs = {
'develop': developConfig,
'stage': developConfig.copyWith(
envType: 'stage',
enableLocalLogs: false,
),
'production': developConfig.copyWith(
envType: 'production',
enableLocalLogs: false,
enableApiLogInterceptor: false,
showDebugPanel: false,
),
'my-env': developConfig.copyWith(
envType: 'none',
enableCloudLogs: false,
),
};
And then developer can just use flutter run
command with their environment name
flutter run --dart-define="environment=my-env"
