Appwrite is an opensource backend that can use as web and mobile backend since it's already packed with developer must-use features e.g. account, database, object store which enough to develop an application for these days.

The first step installs the Appwrite backend ...

docker run -it --rm \
    --volume /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock \
    --volume "$(pwd)"/appwrite:/install/appwrite:rw \
    -e version=0.6.1 \
    appwrite/install 

After docker running, open the Appwrite url http://localhost .

Signup user for console access(need to restrict when using in production).

Login to admin console for backend management http://localhost/console .

Since Appwrite supported multiple projects so we create one for our testing.

Then we can access to project's console

Next, we will enable the project's mobile SDK, this example will use Flutter for example.

Add more app's package information.

Create new user for our example app testing (I've created the user with user: test01@test.com and password: 123456).

After added project and SDK information, we will create a database.

Add new database field's rule. This example model the data for note application.

An important part of the database is the collection's permission setting. This example will use '*' for 'read access' and leave 'write access' as empty to grant only collection's owner to update the collection's rule for example.

Next for the example application, I've pushed source code to github if you need to see source code.

docker run -it --rm \
    --volume /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock \
    --volume "$(pwd)"/appwrite:/install/appwrite:rw \
    -e version=0.6.1 \
    appwrite/install

For Flutter, first, add Appwrite flutter package to project with official Appwrite document

The example application will have 4 functions

• Login
• List note
• Create note
• Edit note
• Delete note

To play around with app, you login with user you created in admin console.

Once login completed you will see app page with blank note.

So let create one for example.

After added note's list state will be reloaded (since we use provider state management).

Then we checked in our Appwrite's database we can see the new note's data was added.

This Flutter app is just an example to show how easy that mobile and web developers. can take advantage of Appwrite and able to save more backend development time and paying more to the business and innovation.
