# App Boilerplate

A modular, offline-first Flutter boilerplate for apps that store, sync, and share media and metadata across centralized (Immich, Firebase) and decentralized (Nostr) systems.

## Phase 2 - Immich Integration

- Immich API service for uploading and fetching images
- Automatic metadata storage in local database
- Offline-first behavior with local caching
- Comprehensive unit tests

## Phase 1 - Local Storage & Caching

- Local storage service with SQLite database
- CRUD operations for items
- Image caching functionality
- Comprehensive unit tests

## Quick Start

```bash
# Install dependencies
flutter pub get

# Run tests
flutter test

# Run app
flutter run
```

## Local Storage & Caching

Service for local storage and caching operations. Provides CRUD operations for items stored in SQLite, image caching with automatic download/storage, and cache hit/miss handling. Modular design with no UI dependencies.

**Files:**
- `lib/data/local/local_storage_service.dart` - Main service class
- `lib/data/local/models/item.dart` - Item data model
- `test/data/local/local_storage_service_test.dart` - Unit tests

**Key Methods:** `initialize()`, `insertItem()`, `getItem()`, `getAllItems()`, `updateItem()`, `deleteItem()`, `getCachedImage()`, `clearImageCache()`, `close()`

## Immich Integration

Service for interacting with Immich API. Uploads images, fetches asset lists, and automatically stores metadata in local database. Offline-first design allows access to cached metadata without network.

**Configuration:** Edit `lib/config/config_loader.dart` to set `immichBaseUrl` and `immichApiKey` for dev/prod environments (lines 40-41 for dev, lines 47-48 for prod).

**Files:**
- `lib/data/immich/immich_service.dart` - Main service class
- `lib/data/immich/models/immich_asset.dart` - Asset model
- `lib/data/immich/models/upload_response.dart` - Upload response model
- `test/data/immich/immich_service_test.dart` - Unit tests

**Key Methods:** `uploadImage()`, `fetchAssets()`, `getCachedAsset()`, `getCachedAssets()`

## Configuration

**All configuration is in:** `lib/config/config_loader.dart`

Edit this file to change API URLs, Immich server URL and API key, logging settings, and other environment-specific values. Replace placeholder values (`'your-dev-api-key-here'`, `'your-prod-api-key-here'`) with your actual API keys.

### Environment Variables

Currently, the app uses compile-time environment variables via `--dart-define`:

```bash
# Set environment at runtime
flutter run --dart-define=ENV=prod
```

**Future:** `.env` file support can be added in later phases. When implemented, `.env` files would go in the project root and be loaded at runtime.

### Available Environments

- `dev` - Development (default): Logging enabled, dev API URL
- `prod` - Production: Logging disabled, production API URL

## Running the App

### Android Emulator

**Important:** Wait for emulator to fully boot (30-60 seconds on cold boot).

1. Start emulator from Android Studio AVD Manager
2. Wait for boot animation to complete and home screen appears
3. Run: `flutter run`

### iOS Simulator (macOS)

```bash
open -a Simulator
flutter run
```

## Running Tests

```bash
# Run all tests
flutter test

# Run with coverage
flutter test --coverage
```

**Important:** Tests must be run separately - `flutter run` does not execute tests.
