This project has different entry points.

• main_local.dart that targets a local api that should be run first (see how to do it here).

$ flutter run -d chrome --target lib/main_local.dart --web-port 24514 --dart-define RECAPTCHA_KEY=<RECAPTCHA_KEY> --dart-define APPCHECK_DEBUG_TOKEN=<APPCHECK_DEBUG_TOKEN>

The specified web port is just an example that matches with the one set in the helper script to run the api.

• main_development.dart that targets the dev api.

$ flutter run -d chrome --target lib/main_development.dart --dart-define RECAPTCHA_KEY=<RECAPTCHA_KEY> --dart-define APPCHECK_DEBUG_TOKEN=<APPCHECK_DEBUG_TOKEN>

• main_debug.dart that targets the dev api and adds a visual layer to debug the crossword sections, their position, fps and other items.

$ flutter run -d chrome --target lib/main_debug.dart --dart-define RECAPTCHA_KEY=<RECAPTCHA_KEY> --dart-define APPCHECK_DEBUG_TOKEN=<APPCHECK_DEBUG_TOKEN>

• main_staging.dart that targets the staging api.

$ flutter run -d chrome --target lib/main_staging.dart --dart-define RECAPTCHA_KEY=<RECAPTCHA_KEY>

• main_production.dart that targets the production api.

$ flutter run -d chrome --target lib/main_production.dart --dart-define RECAPTCHA_KEY=<RECAPTCHA_KEY>

*I/O Crossword works on Web.

The RECAPTCHA_KEY and APPCHECK_DEBUG_TOKEN environment variables are used to make the app more secure with Firebase App Check. You will have to register your site for reCAPTCHA v3 and get a key.

To run all unit and widget tests use the following command:

$ flutter test --coverage --test-randomize-ordering-seed random

To view the generated coverage report you can use lcov.

# Generate Coverage Report
$ genhtml coverage/lcov.info -o coverage/

# Open Coverage Report
$ open coverage/index.html

This project relies on flutter_localizations and follows the official internationalization guide for Flutter.

1. To add a new localizable string, open the app_en.arb file at lib/l10n/arb/app_en.arb.

{
    "@@locale": "en",
    "counterAppBarTitle": "Counter",
    "@counterAppBarTitle": {
        "description": "Text shown in the AppBar of the Counter Page"
    }
}

2. Then add a new key/value and description

{
    "@@locale": "en",
    "counterAppBarTitle": "Counter",
    "@counterAppBarTitle": {
        "description": "Text shown in the AppBar of the Counter Page"
    },
    "helloWorld": "Hello World",
    "@helloWorld": {
        "description": "Hello World Text"
    }
}

3. Use the new string

import 'package:io_crossword/l10n/l10n.dart';

@override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
  final l10n = context.l10n;
  return Text(l10n.helloWorld);
}

Update the CFBundleLocalizations array in the Info.plist at ios/Runner/Info.plist to include the new locale.

    ...

    <key>CFBundleLocalizations</key>
	<array>
		<string>en</string>
		<string>es</string>
	</array>

    ...

1. For each supported locale, add a new ARB file in lib/l10n/arb.

├── l10n
│   ├── arb
│   │   ├── app_en.arb
│   │   └── app_es.arb

2. Add the translated strings to each .arb file:

app_en.arb

{
    "@@locale": "en",
    "counterAppBarTitle": "Counter",
    "@counterAppBarTitle": {
        "description": "Text shown in the AppBar of the Counter Page"
    }
}

app_es.arb

{
    "@@locale": "es",
    "counterAppBarTitle": "Contador",
    "@counterAppBarTitle": {
        "description": "Texto mostrado en la AppBar de la página del contador"
    }
}

To use the latest translations changes, you will need to generate them:

1. Generate localizations for the current project:

flutter gen-l10n --arb-dir="lib/l10n/arb"

Alternatively, run flutter run and code generation will take place automatically.
