Sooner or later, one would have to handle API calls. And those could be a hassle, bearing in mind Dart/Flutter’s “multitasking”.
The article <a href="https://medium.com/@ben.arijit/generic-api-calls-in-flutter-09aedbf39b34" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Generic Network Layer in Flutter</a> outlines a structural approach toward building a performant network layer for handling REST API calls. This approach reduces the duplicate code, helps with fewer blocks of the main thread, and provides some structured error handling.
I bookmarked this for later. Be careful: the example code lacks <code>break</code> statements, so if you try to use it out of the box, it’ll not do you good! However, what’s important is the concept, and the concept is good and a good starting point for taking it and extending it later in your app.

Managing REST API calls in Flutter can be challenging due to Dart/Flutter's multitasking environment. A structural approach for creating a performant network layer can simplify this process by reducing duplicate code, alleviating the main thread, and offering structured error handling. It's crucial to note that example code might miss break statements, so modifications are necessary. The concept serves as a good foundation for further extension in applications.

Management of REST API Network Calls

Why not just use Retrofit since it’s doing this exact thing with a few annotations and the usage of the build_runner ? ^^’
