How to Build a Multilingual Social Recipe Application with Flutter and Strapi

You will store configuration data such as API keys, environment-specific URLs (base URL, recipe endpoints, comments endpoints), and other sensitive or configurable data outside your codebase using the flutter_dotenv package you installed earlier. Create an .env file in your root directory and add your environment variables:

BASE_URL=your-base-url
USERS_ENDPOINT=/auth/local
USERS_ENDPOINT_REG=/auth/local/register
ACCESS_TOKEN=your-api-key
RECIPE_ENDPOINT=/recipes
COMMENT_ENDPOINT=/comments
R_REQUEST_ENDPOINT=/recipe-requests

BASE_URL: This is the base URL for your Strapi backend server. The /api means that all API endpoints are accessed via this base path. This URL is used to construct full URLs for all API requests by appending specific endpoints to it.
USERS_ENDPOINT: This endpoint typically handles login operations where existing users authenticate by submitting their credentials.
USERS_ENDPOINT_REG: This is the registration endpoint for new users.
ACCESS_TOKEN: This is the API token you created earlier which is used for authenticating API requests.
RECIPE_ENDPOINT: This endpoint is used to fetch a list of recipes or a single recipe. You can also use it to post new recipes, or update or delete a recipe.
COMMENT_ENDPOINT: This endpoint manages comments related to recipes.
R_REQUEST_ENDPOINT: This endpoint manages requests related to recipes.
