🎛️ FlutterFlow GUI Guide

FlutterFlow is like a control room for building apps without code.
Think of it like LEGO + Paint + Remote Control all in one place.
Let’s explore the main parts of the editor 👇

🏠 Dashboard

The home screen of FlutterFlow.

Here you can:

• 📂 Manage all your projects.
• 👤 Access account info.
• 📚 Explore FlutterFlow resources (docs, community).

🛠️ App Builder

This is your main workspace — where you’ll design and connect your app.
It’s made up of several important tools:

• Widget Palette 🧩 → Access all widgets for your app.
• Page Selector 📄 → Manage pages and components, create folders.
• Widget Tree 🌳 → See all widgets on a selected page, like an outline view.
• Storyboard 🎞️ → Visualize app screens and navigation flow.
• Firestore 🔥 → Create collections and adjust Firestore database settings.
• Data Types 🗂️ → Define custom data types for your app.
• App Values ⚙️ → Manage app state variables and constants.
• API Calls 🔗 → Connect your app to external APIs.
• Media Assets 🖼️ → Upload and manage images, icons, and files.
• Custom Functions 🛠️ → Add your own logic, widgets, or actions.
• Cloud Functions ☁️ → Write and deploy Firebase cloud functions.
• Tests 🧪 → Add automated tests for your app.
• Agents 🤖 → Configure AI Agents for chat and smart interactions.
• Theme Settings 🎨 → Customize colors, fonts, and visual appearance.
• Settings & Integrations 🔌 → Manage app-related settings and integrations.

💡 Tip: Beginners will mostly use Widgets, Canvas, Storyboard, and Theme.
Advanced tools (like APIs, Functions, Agents) are for later.

🎹 Toolbar (Top Bar)

Found at the top of the editor.
It’s like your remote control for the app.

You can:

• ▶️ Preview your app.
• 💾 Save your progress.
• 📱 Switch between phone/tablet/desktop views.
• 🚀 Deploy the app when it’s ready.

🖼️ Canvas (Middle Area)

The heart of FlutterFlow ❤️.

• This is your design space.
• Drag and drop widgets here to build your screens.
• What you see = how your app will look on a real phone.

💡 Quick Recap

• 🏠 Dashboard → Manage projects.
• 🛠️ App Builder → Full toolbox for building apps.
• 🎹 Toolbar → Controls for preview, save, deploy.
