Flutter Holland Connect

We are welcoming you to connect with the rest of the Flutter Holland community at the Ordina office in Nieuwegein! Connect, on an interest level (we all 💙 Flutter) but also on a personal level as we aim to be a community and not just another source of information. We think the social part is as important, if not more.

🚗🚙🏎️🚕 As an experiment we are sharing rides to the meetup location in Nieuwegein. Currently there are rides available for people living in Eindhoven, Hilversum, Amersfoort or Almere. All the details in this Google Sheets document.

20:15 - Second talk: Supercharged Design System: Enhancing Widget Cataloging, Testing, and Collaboration with Designers
🔈 Lucas Josefiak 🔈
Creating beautiful UI has never been easier with Flutter. However, managing and organizing widgets effectively can pose challenges for developers, particularly when it comes to organizing them, testing them in all their different use cases, and maintaining design-code consistency. This is where Widgetbook comes in.

In this talk, we will see how we can use the open-source Flutter package Widgetbook to build our own design system/widget library and test our widgets across different devices, themes, and languages. We will connect our Figma designs directly to our Flutter widgets and set up a CI/CD integration with Widgetbook that simplifies the review process with designers. Thereby, we will learn how to keep design and code synced.

Key takeaways:

• How to build your own design system / widget library
• How to quickly test your widgets on different device sizes, themes, languages, etc.
• How to collaborate effectively with designers to keep design and code sync

Notes:

• We do not record, livestream or broadcast this meetup. We’re fully focussing on a nice in-person meetup experience.
• Please keep your RSVP status up to date! Doing so helps organize the meetup tremendously (with waiting list, capacity planning, food & drinks). Thank you!
• Photography/Video Consent. Ordina personnel will be taking photos and videos during the event and will use these photos and videos for social media, and promotional materials. By coming to the meet-up, you give Ordina your consent to take photos and videos of you.
• How to get to the Ordina office: The address is Ringwade 1, Nieuwegein. It's a bit of a challenge to reach the Ordina office by public transportation so if you can come by car, or carpool together with others we advice to do that. If this is not an option use https://9292.nl to plan your trip. If you come by car there is plenty of free parking available.
