Getting Started

Use the steps below to enable the features that require backend services or API's

Step 1

Follow the instructions from the FlutterFire documentation to install the FlutterFire CLI.
Create a Firebase project and make sure the following products are enabled:
- Firebase Authentication (email and password enabled)
- Firebase Storage
- Firestore Database
- Project is upgraded to paid/blaze plan
Use the FlutterFire CLI to generate a firebase_options.dart file
Remove the path "/lib/firebase_options.dart" from the .gitignore file if you'd like to check the file into version control.

Step 2 This project has google maps autofill functionality. This requires an API key from the Google Maps console to work.

Enable the Google Maps "Places API" in Google Cloud and create an API. Follow this tutorial for more detailed instructions.
Locate the Places Service file (lib/services/places_service.dart) and add your API key where it says 'YOUR API KEY HERE'.

Step 3 The search screen will require some custom indexes to work properly. If a search is not working check the console output and click the link to create the needed index.

That's it! You can now run the app on a mobile device and it will use your Firebase project.
