This repository contains the complete, production-ready source code for a high-performance Flutter news app api server that powers the entire Flutter News App toolkit. Built with the high-performance Dart Frog framework, it gives you all the server-side features you need, right out of the box. It is the core component of the Flutter News App Full Source Code Toolkit, serving the Flutter mobile app and the web-based content dashboard.
This API is the powerful, secure, and scalable core of the entire news toolkit. Built on a high-performance Dart Frog foundation, it provides a complete backend solution designed for maintainability and rapid development.
Explore the high-level domains below to see how.
🔐 Identity & Access Management
A complete identity system provides a frictionless and secure user journey from the very first interaction.
- Flexible Onboarding: Supports modern, passwordless sign-in for registered users and seamless anonymous access for guests, reducing barriers to entry.
- Intelligent Account Conversion: Automatically migrates all user data—including preferences and saved content—when a guest user creates a permanent account.
- Robust Session Control: Uses industry-standard JWTs for stateless sessions and includes a token blacklisting service to ensure sessions are instantly and securely terminated upon sign-out.
Your Advantage: You get a complete, modern, and secure user management system out of the box, covering the entire user lifecycle from guest to registered user.
A sophisticated and flexible security model ensures that users and administrators can only access and modify the data they are permitted to.
- Multi-Layered Access Control: Defines distinct permission sets for different user classes, such as mobile app consumers and dashboard administrators, ensuring a clear separation of capabilities.
- Automated Ownership Enforcement: Built-in middleware automatically verifies data ownership before any modification or deletion request is processed, preventing unauthorized actions.
Your Advantage: Easily enforce complex business rules and security policies. The architecture guarantees data integrity and provides a secure foundation for scaling your user base.
The API is shielded from common threats with intelligent, built-in abuse prevention mechanisms.
- Smart Rate Limiting: Protects critical endpoints from brute-force attacks and denial-of-service attempts by applying fair and effective limits based on IP address for guests and user ID for authenticated users.
Your Advantage: Ensure high availability and stability for your application. This automated defense layer protects your infrastructure and preserves a quality experience for legitimate users.
📦 Dynamic Content & Data API
Instead of a rigid collection of hardcoded routes, the API is built around a single, unified data gateway. This metadata-driven architecture dramatically accelerates development and enhances scalability.
- Unified Data Endpoint: A central engine handles all data operations (CRUD) for every data type in the system—from articles and topics to user preferences and beyond.
- Metadata-Driven Logic: To add a completely new data type to your application, you simply define its rules—permissions, validation, and database connections—in a central registry. The engine handles the rest automatically.
Your Advantage: This architecture eliminates boilerplate code and massively speeds up development. You can add new features and data models to your application without writing new API routes, enabling you to innovate and scale at a much faster pace.
The data API is equipped with powerful querying capabilities, enabling rich, high-performance content discovery features in your client applications.
- Complex Filtering & Sorting: Supports deep, multi-parameter filtering and flexible, multi-field sorting directly through the API.
- High-Performance Pagination: Utilizes efficient cursor-based pagination to handle massive datasets gracefully, perfect for infinite-scrolling feeds.
Your Advantage: Empower your mobile and web clients with powerful data discovery features right out of the box, without needing to write any extra backend logic.
🏗️ Architecture & Infrastructure
Built on a modern, minimalist foundation to ensure low latency and excellent performance.
- Dart Frog Core: Leverages the high-performance Dart Frog framework for a fast, efficient, and scalable backend.
- Clean, Layered Architecture: A strict separation of concerns into distinct layers makes the codebase clean, maintainable, and easy to reason about.
Your Advantage: Your backend is built on a solid, modern foundation that is both powerful and a pleasure to work with, reducing maintenance overhead.
The entire application is designed with a robust dependency injection system, giving you the freedom to choose your own infrastructure.
- Swappable Implementations: Easily swap out core components—like the database, email provider, or file storage service—without rewriting business logic.
Your Advantage: Avoid vendor lock-in and future-proof your application. You have the freedom to adapt and evolve your tech stack as your business needs change.
Say goodbye to risky manual database updates. A professional, versioned migration system ensures your database schema evolves safely and automatically.
- Code-Driven Schema Evolution: The system automatically applies schema changes to your database on application startup, ensuring consistency across all environments.
- Traceable to Source: Each migration is versioned and directly linked to the pull request that initiated it, providing a clear, auditable history of every change.
Your Advantage: Deploy with confidence. This robust system eliminates an entire class of deployment errors, ensuring your data models evolve gracefully and reliably with full traceability.
