ServerPod | The missing server for Flutter

[@princejohn3108]

Am so in love with serverpod. This is a game changer for flutter. Infact this make one a full stack developer in Flutter/Dart. I love your teaching.

[@atiqurrehman9846]

well done Afzal your videos about flutter always unique .Allah blessed you.

[@CodeXdev]

So nice of you

[@kamrulibnzaman]

Looking really forward to this.

[@alessandroscimone5463]

That's why I choose Dart-Flutter!! Congratulations my friend! Fantastic project

[@raghav042]

Very informative, you taught it very smoothly. ❤️

[@CodeXdev]

Thank you so much! Next part coming soon...

[@AlanTuringWannabe]

Excellent introduction! Thank you for this. I've been looking for a solution for backend dart development.

[@JonBrookes]

Very nice, thanks for posting this walk through in which your explanation is clear, concise and informative. As you request comment, serverpod is in my view a very good option for backend, services and even an approach toward replacing baas but with saftey nets and guard rails. I think its opinionated approach and code template generative functionality is necessary for speed and consistency in your app developement and unless you're one to write everything from scratch in dart, or want a more 'express like' environment, in which case shelf or dart frog are likely more for you, this looks like a batteries included framework that deserves consideration. The real kicker is ofcourse if your already wrting apps for mobile and or web in flutter in which case, there seems to me to be good coupling of the backend to the front without having to context switch all of the time with another language or even for tha matter with an existing baas such as firebase, supabase et al. i particularly like its reliance on docker / compose exposing many options for deployment from single container instances to k8s or other orchestration platforms.

[@mirmoktadir2170]

Make this series with Getx implemented and also with your base client for api handling... please

[@kv9163]

Thank you for explaining this thoroughly!

[@CodeXdev]

Glad it was helpful!

@@CodeXdev I have not made this comment. Someone else is doing it without my knowledge. I think my account is being accessed by someone. Kind of a hack.

[@rajadurai.]

Tq bro. I always watch your video and implement my project.

[@CodeXdev]

Welcome 😊 I hope you found it easy to follow.

[@SandwichMitGurke]

This seems very interesting for small Flutter Apps

[@CodeXdev]

It has full potential to be used in big scale apps, but as you said, for starting something real quick Serverpod can really boost productivity

[@alphabetical2671]

Please make more videos on serverpod

[@cavinmacwan]

Also make one video on hosting on aws and authentication using google

[@PaulPetersVids]

reminds me a lot of theo's T3 setup, where the client code can be autocompleted by the server code. Pretty crazy.

[@CodeXdev]

yes, i think its going to get more popularity when people will realise the ease of it

[@엄대웅-h8t]

Would you tell us how to uninstall SeverPod?

[@ThroughExpatsCam]

Wow! nice tutorial. 🙌🏻

[@CodeXdev]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@obeddougan1505]

Hello, thanks for the tutorial. I relly like severpod as backend. But please what about implementing notification with backend( serverpod)? Can you please make tutorial on it?

[@CodeXdev]

You can integrate FCM on server side, I don't think theres any challenge with that. So your server will be using FCM APIs to trigger notification. And on client side, just normal integration as you do for other projects.

[@rahulagarwal968]

I have a doubt. When to use external payment gateway vs in-app-purchases. One scenario is suppose my app gives monthly subscription or 6 month gym membership plans ?. or another case is that my users can buy points paying money and then can use those points in the app. So is it compulsory to use in app purchases as it deducts 30% revenue ? I read somewhere that only for physical items such as in shopping app we can use payment gateway otherwise have to use in app purchases ?

[@HolyQuranMessage]

that's a good option for offline backend in flutter.

[@arsal3813]

impressive

[@treythomas7647]

Can we add custom datatypes to the yaml file for the model? Like enums and other class objects? Thanks

[@CodeXdev]

You can create class with yaml declaration. not sure about enums, but it supports most primitive data types

You are welcome

[@akashkedari255]

In my Windows system, It's not auto-generating the postgre sql queries with table mentioned in protocol yaml file. What's the problem? Do I have to manually type the queries of table?

[@vatsaljaganwala]

have you found any solution for it? I am also facing same issue

[@shiwamkarn4617]

Plz make a tutorial on serveropod stream.. I am stuck on my project..

[@itpeople1573]

Hello, please could you also teach how to work with serverpod web, because there have a special folder for webserver

[@kazerdira4704]

with all respect for people who working hard on that plugin and new technologies , and you as a good teacher that i learned from you a lot , please I hope you will answer : is serverpod really ready ? does it work on windows ? should I understand and read about docker and that postgresql ? please I hope Iwill get answer from you , At first I was soo excited about serverpod , but it is a week and i am trying nothing work with it ,

[@CodeXdev]

Serverpod is going to be in stable 1.0.0 on 7th Jan, 2023. It's very good technology to generate backend and API with simple dart language. Also, you don't need to be expert at all backend related operation as its is handled automatically by ServerPod. And the best, that its all dart. So from Flutter client, you will call it just like a method and get the Dart Object in return.

[@vijayrockers3546]

Very useful. One doubt can we use other databases like MySQL or MongoDB?

[@CodeXdev]

There is no built in support for it yet, but you can use any database supported by dart

[@Learn_easily7]

nice. what about tables relationship?

[@IngPedroAraujo]

Thanks for sharing your Knowledge. Is this serverpod ready for production?

[@alphabetical2671]

Many companies are using it Accenture also

[@soultouchin]

They should create a basic gui for it if they want the project to explode. The reason we love flutter is because we can very quickly see the visual results of what we're building.

[@CodeXdev]

Yep, GUI is going to be there for analytics and logging part. At the same time, it's backend framework, so we cannot compare with Flutter. With some learning curve, people will get use to it. And the fact that you need only Dart and YAML knowledge to create backend is amazing.

[@carlossalguero5222]

Is there a way to work with MySQL?

[@toast988]

thanks for the vedio , but when running dart bin/main.dart i got this error Failed to connect to the database. Retrying in 10 seconds. SocketException: The remote computer refused the network connection. (OS Error: The remote computer refused the network connection.

[@akashkedari255]

Same Error...please someone help us

[@shiwamkarn4617]

Sir,plz create a chat system with servepod stream.

[@AlanTuringWannabe]

Is there a way to export the code generated by ServerPod so that the data classes used on the backend can be used for your Flutter app?

[@CodeXdev]

It's already exported in Client code, which is accessible in Flutter app. All with serverpod generate command.

[@fardoche6]

Interesting, how about the deployment? CI/CD? Works well on all platform (IPhone, Android, web...)?

[@CodeXdev]

Well, for client app it’s just a normal flutter project. You can manage as you do with any other Proj. There is server project which totally supports CI/CD. Out of the box with GitHub action or if you commit to specific branch in that repo.

[@IvanDubovenko]

How to generate a class that extends from another? Each of my ApiResponseModel have ApiResponseError? field

[@CodeXdev]

Dart has concept of mixin, so basically you extend with one class but you can write ‘with’ keyword to drive features of other class class Rectangle extends Shape with Geometry {}

[@IvanDubovenko]

@@CodeXdev I know about dart features. I'm asking how to generate extended or class with mixin from yaml template.

[@abbosbobomurodov5011]

@@IvanDubovenko Framework do it, simply generate template code.

[@hortigado8202]

Serverpod or pocketbase?

[@amazing-content]

Can you please do a full KZbin course on Getx + serverpod By creating a Amazon clone app

[@CodeXdev]

Thanks for suggestion, Serverpod is mainly for backend, so you don't need to update state. That's why GetX is not required on server side. About Mobile App, its standard Flutter project. So you can apply GetX as you do with other Flutter projects and I have many videos for that.

[@rec-trick]

we can use prisma for role and relations ?

[@CodeXdev]

did you mean PRIGMA ?

[@haydermajli804]

but in end you cant deploy in your private server, you most deploy to AWS cloud platform . so what's new, what's deferent from firebase

[@CodeXdev]

At this point, AWS configuration comes out of the box with Serverpod. But it can run anywhere where docker containers are supported and you have to do other configuration manually, server setup, db setup, endpoints, web app server, clusters, redis and all.

[@haydermajli804]

@@CodeXdev 🥲can you show how we can deploy on our server like windows server 2019^ PLZZZZZ😢

[@GhostNikki]

You can deploy it to a private server as well. It's entirely different from firebase. Firebase you need to upload on the firebase console. Serverpod is a server that's created using dart. So technically if you can install dart SDK, Postgress DB, and Redis on Your server you are good to go. Obviously, there will be a manual configuration that you need to do. It's easy in AWS because there is Terraform script written for the serverpod which takes care of deployment very easily.

[@haydermajli804]

@@GhostNikki if its server technlogy so can I make it startup service like nginx and apache?

[@fabsync]

is this better than Appwrite? I like the fact that is written on dart..

[@CodeXdev]

In my opinion, Yes! For the same reason that its written in Dart and you get the complete client code, model and exceptions ready.

[@Tech1st]

Thank you. Where is hosting this server db's?

[@CodeXdev]

For development - localhost, for deployment - anywhere docker container can run.

[@lidholt]

Serverpod also comes with Terraform scripts for AWS, so it is very easy to deploy to the cloud.

[@JbrDeveloper]

sir Dart frog please

what's the name of the vscode theme?

[@CodeXdev]

Yes, it might have little bit different steps but overall procedure remains same.

is it much powerful same as Ruby on Rails ?

The client generation tool is very impressive and the fact that it’s all in Dart/yaml makes it more friendly for Flutter developers
