WooCommerce addon for flutter app

Introduction

Are you looking to integrate WooCommerce into your Flutter app? WooCommerce is a popular e-commerce plugin for WordPress, and with the WooCommerce addon for Flutter, you can easily connect your app to your WooCommerce store and manage your online store's inventory, orders, and customers. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of setting up and using the WooCommerce addon for Flutter.

Prerequisites

Before we begin, make sure you have the following:

• A WordPress website with WooCommerce installed
• A Flutter app set up with the Flutter SDK
• The WooCommerce addon for Flutter installed in your Flutter app

Step 1: Set up WooCommerce in your WordPress website

If you haven't already, set up WooCommerce in your WordPress website by following these steps:

1. Log in to your WordPress dashboard
2. Click on "Plugins" and then "Add New"
3. Search for "WooCommerce" and install the plugin
4. Activate the plugin
5. Configure your WooCommerce settings, such as payment gateways and shipping options

Step 2: Set up the WooCommerce addon for Flutter

To set up the WooCommerce addon for Flutter, follow these steps:

1. Open your Flutter app and navigate to the "pubspec.yaml" file
2. Add the following dependency to the "dependencies" section:

   woocommerce_flutter: ^1.0.0

3. Run the command "flutter pub get" to get the package
4. Import the package in your Dart file:

   import 'package:woocommerce_flutter/woocommerce_flutter.dart';

   Step 3: Initialize the WooCommerce API

To initialize the WooCommerce API, you need to provide your WooCommerce store's API endpoint and API key. You can find these in your WordPress dashboard under "WooCommerce" > "Settings" > "API".

1. Create a new instance of the WooCommerce class:

   final WooCommerce wc = WooCommerce(
   endpoint: 'https://your-store.com/wp-json/wc/v3',
   apiKey: 'your-api-key',
   );

   Replace https://your-store.com/wp-json/wc/v3 with your WooCommerce store's API endpoint, and your-api-key with your API key.

Step 4: Use the WooCommerce API

Now that you have initialized the WooCommerce API, you can use it to fetch data from your WooCommerce store. Here are some examples:

• Fetching products:

  final products = await wc.getProducts();
  print(products);

• Fetching orders:

  final orders = await wc.getOrders();
  print(orders);

• Creating a new order:

  final order = await wc.createOrder(
  customer: 'John Doe',
  total: 100.00,
  items: [
  {
    'name': 'Product 1',
    'quantity': 2,
    'price': 50.00,
  },
  {
    'name': 'Product 2',
    'quantity': 1,
    'price': 25.00,
  },
  ],
  );
  print(order);

  Step 5: Handle errors

When using the WooCommerce API, you may encounter errors. To handle errors, you can use the wc.error property:

try {
  final products = await wc.getProducts();
  print(products);
} catch (e) {
  print(wc.error);
}

Conclusion

That's it! With these steps, you should now have a basic understanding of how to use the WooCommerce addon for Flutter. You can use the WooCommerce API to fetch data from your WooCommerce store, create new orders, and more. Remember to handle errors and debug your code to ensure a smooth user experience. Happy coding!
