Flutter 4.0: Một Code Base, Mọi Platform

Flutter 4.0 đánh dấu bước tiến lớn trong phát triển ứng dụng đa nền tảng. Với Impeller rendering engine mới và WebAssembly support, Flutter giờ đây nhanh hơn và mạnh mẽ hơn bao giờ hết!

Flutter 4.0 Có Gì Mới?

1. Impeller Rendering Engine

Engine render mới thay thế Skia với hiệu suất vượt trội:

• 🚀 60-120 FPS ổn định
• ⚡ Giảm jank và stuttering
• 🎨 Shader compilation cải thiện
• 📱 Pin tốt hơn 15-20%

// Impeller tự động enabled trên iOS/Android
// Không cần config gì thêm! 🎯
void main() {
  runApp(MyApp());
}

2. WebAssembly Support

Flutter Web giờ compile sang WASM thay vì JavaScript:

• 📦 Bundle size giảm 40%
• ⚡ Load time nhanh hơn 2-3x
• 🎯 Performance gần native

# Build Flutter Web với WASM
flutter build web --wasm

# Output: Blazing fast web app! 🔥

Tại Sao Chọn Flutter?

Write Once, Run Everywhere

// Code này chạy trên:
// ✅ iOS
// ✅ Android
// ✅ Web
// ✅ Windows
// ✅ macOS
// ✅ Linux

import 'package:flutter/material.dart';

void main() => runApp(MyApp());

class MyApp extends StatelessWidget {
  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return MaterialApp(
      title: 'Flutter Demo',
      theme: ThemeData(
        primarySwatch: Colors.blue,
        useMaterial3: true, // Material Design 3! 🎨
      ),
      home: HomePage(),
    );
  }
}

Hot Reload - Developer Experience Tuyệt Vời

// Thay đổi UI, see results < 1 second! ⚡
class CounterApp extends StatefulWidget {
  @override
  State<CounterApp> createState() => _CounterAppState();
}

class _CounterAppState extends State<CounterApp> {
  int _counter = 0;
  
  void _increment() {
    setState(() {
      _counter++; // Change và hot reload instantly!
    });
  }
  
  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return Scaffold(
      appBar: AppBar(title: Text('Counter')),
      body: Center(
        child: Text(
          '$_counter',
          style: Theme.of(context).textTheme.displayLarge,
        ),
      ),
      floatingActionButton: FloatingActionButton(
        onPressed: _increment,
        child: Icon(Icons.add),
      ),
    );
  }
}

Material Design 3 & Adaptive Widgets

Beautiful UI Out of the Box

// Material Design 3 components
class ModernUI extends StatelessWidget {
  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return Scaffold(
      appBar: AppBar(
        title: Text('Material You'),
        // Dynamic color từ wallpaper! 🎨
      ),
      body: ListView(
        children: [
          // Filled button - Primary action
          FilledButton(
            onPressed: () {},
            child: Text('Get Started'),
          ),
          
          // Card với elevation mới
          Card(
            elevation: 0,
            child: ListTile(
              leading: Icon(Icons.notifications),
              title: Text('New message'),
              subtitle: Text('You have 3 unread messages'),
            ),
          ),
          
          // Navigation bar hiện đại
          NavigationBar(
            destinations: [
              NavigationDestination(
                icon: Icon(Icons.home),
                label: 'Home',
              ),
              NavigationDestination(
                icon: Icon(Icons.search),
                label: 'Search',
              ),
            ],
          ),
        ],
      ),
    );
  }
}

Adaptive Widgets

// Tự động adapt theo platform!
import 'package:flutter/cupertino.dart';
import 'package:flutter/material.dart';

class AdaptiveButton extends StatelessWidget {
  final VoidCallback onPressed;
  final String text;
  
  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    // iOS: Cupertino style
    // Android: Material style
    return PlatformWidget(
      cupertino: CupertinoButton(
        onPressed: onPressed,
        child: Text(text),
      ),
      material: ElevatedButton(
        onPressed: onPressed,
        child: Text(text),
      ),
    );
  }
}

State Management

Riverpod - Modern State Management

import 'package:flutter_riverpod/flutter_riverpod.dart';

// Define provider
final counterProvider = StateProvider<int>((ref) => 0);

// Use trong widget
class CounterPage extends ConsumerWidget {
  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context, WidgetRef ref) {
    // Watch counter changes
    final counter = ref.watch(counterProvider);
    
    return Scaffold(
      body: Center(
        child: Text('Count: $counter'),
      ),
      floatingActionButton: FloatingActionButton(
        onPressed: () {
          // Update state
          ref.read(counterProvider.notifier).state++;
        },
        child: Icon(Icons.add),
      ),
    );
  }
}

// Type-safe, compile-time checked! ✅

BLoC Pattern

import 'package:flutter_bloc/flutter_bloc.dart';

// Events
abstract class CounterEvent {}
class Increment extends CounterEvent {}
class Decrement extends CounterEvent {}

// State
class CounterState {
  final int count;
  CounterState(this.count);
}

// BLoC
class CounterBloc extends Bloc<CounterEvent, CounterState> {
  CounterBloc() : super(CounterState(0)) {
    on<Increment>((event, emit) {
      emit(CounterState(state.count + 1));
    });
    
    on<Decrement>((event, emit) {
      emit(CounterState(state.count - 1));
    });
  }
}

// Predictable state management! 🎯

Animations & Gestures

Implicit Animations

class AnimatedDemo extends StatefulWidget {
  @override
  State<AnimatedDemo> createState() => _AnimatedDemoState();
}

class _AnimatedDemoState extends State<AnimatedDemo> {
  bool _isExpanded = false;
  
  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return GestureDetector(
      onTap: () {
        setState(() {
          _isExpanded = !_isExpanded;
        });
      },
      child: AnimatedContainer(
        duration: Duration(milliseconds: 300),
        curve: Curves.easeInOut,
        width: _isExpanded ? 200 : 100,
        height: _isExpanded ? 200 : 100,
        color: _isExpanded ? Colors.blue : Colors.red,
        child: Center(
          child: Text('Tap me!'),
        ),
      ),
    );
  }
}

// Smooth 60fps animations! ⚡

Hero Animations

// Page 1
Hero(
  tag: 'profile-pic',
  child: CircleAvatar(
    backgroundImage: NetworkImage(user.avatarUrl),
    radius: 30,
  ),
)

// Page 2 - Auto animated transition!
Hero(
  tag: 'profile-pic',
  child: Image.network(
    user.avatarUrl,
    width: 200,
    height: 200,
  ),
)

Native Integration

Platform Channels

// Gọi native code từ Flutter
import 'package:flutter/services.dart';

class NativeBridge {
  static const platform = MethodChannel('com.app/battery');
  
  Future<int> getBatteryLevel() async {
    try {
      final int result = await platform.invokeMethod('getBatteryLevel');
      return result;
    } catch (e) {
      return -1;
    }
  }
}

// Swift (iOS)
@UIApplicationMain
@objc class AppDelegate: FlutterAppDelegate {
  override func application(...) -> Bool {
    let controller = window?.rootViewController as! FlutterViewController
    let batteryChannel = FlutterMethodChannel(
      name: "com.app/battery",
      binaryMessenger: controller.binaryMessenger
    )
    
    batteryChannel.setMethodCallHandler { (call, result) in
      if call.method == "getBatteryLevel" {
        self.receiveBatteryLevel(result: result)
      }
    }
    return super.application(...)
  }
}

FFI - Dart Foreign Function Interface

// Call C/C++ libraries trực tiếp!
import 'dart:ffi';
import 'package:ffi/ffi.dart';

typedef NativeAdd = Int32 Function(Int32 a, Int32 b);
typedef DartAdd = int Function(int a, int b);

void main() {
  final dylib = DynamicLibrary.open('libnative.so');
  final add = dylib
    .lookup<NativeFunction<NativeAdd>>('native_add')
    .asFunction<DartAdd>();
  
  print(add(10, 20)); // 30
  
  // Performance native-level! 🚀
}

Testing

Widget Tests

import 'package:flutter_test/flutter_test.dart';

void main() {
  testWidgets('Counter increments', (WidgetTester tester) async {
    // Build widget
    await tester.pumpWidget(MyApp());
    
    // Verify initial state
    expect(find.text('0'), findsOneWidget);
    expect(find.text('1'), findsNothing);
    
    // Tap button
    await tester.tap(find.byIcon(Icons.add));
    await tester.pump();
    
    // Verify updated state
    expect(find.text('0'), findsNothing);
    expect(find.text('1'), findsOneWidget);
  });
}

// Fast, reliable testing! ✅

Integration Tests

import 'package:integration_test/integration_test.dart';
import 'package:flutter_test/flutter_test.dart';

void main() {
  IntegrationTestWidgetsFlutterBinding.ensureInitialized();
  
  testWidgets('Full app flow', (tester) async {
    app.main();
    await tester.pumpAndSettle();
    
    // Login flow
    await tester.enterText(find.byKey(Key('email')), 'user@test.com');
    await tester.enterText(find.byKey(Key('password')), 'password123');
    await tester.tap(find.text('Login'));
    await tester.pumpAndSettle();
    
    // Verify logged in
    expect(find.text('Dashboard'), findsOneWidget);
  });
}

Performance Optimization

Build Performance

// ❌ Bad - Rebuilds entire tree
class BadWidget extends StatelessWidget {
  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return Column(
      children: List.generate(1000, (i) => 
        ExpensiveWidget(i)
      ),
    );
  }
}

// ✅ Good - Use const constructor
class GoodWidget extends StatelessWidget {
  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return Column(
      children: List.generate(1000, (i) => 
        const ExpensiveWidget(key: ValueKey(i))
      ),
    );
  }
}

ListView.builder for Large Lists

// ✅ Efficient scrolling - chỉ build visible items
ListView.builder(
  itemCount: 10000,
  itemBuilder: (context, index) {
    return ListTile(
      title: Text('Item $index'),
      subtitle: Text('Details...'),
    );
  },
)

// Smooth scrolling với 10k items! 🚀

Firebase Integration

import 'package:firebase_core/firebase_core.dart';
import 'package:firebase_auth/firebase_auth.dart';
import 'package:cloud_firestore/cloud_firestore.dart';

void main() async {
  WidgetsFlutterBinding.ensureInitialized();
  await Firebase.initializeApp();
  runApp(MyApp());
}

// Authentication
final auth = FirebaseAuth.instance;
await auth.signInWithEmailAndPassword(
  email: 'user@example.com',
  password: 'password',
);

// Firestore
final firestore = FirebaseFirestore.instance;
await firestore.collection('posts').add({
  'title': 'Flutter 4.0',
  'content': 'Amazing!',
  'timestamp': FieldValue.serverTimestamp(),
});

// Real-time updates
firestore.collection('posts').snapshots().listen((snapshot) {
  for (var doc in snapshot.docs) {
    print(doc.data());
  }
});
