A responsive mobile application displaying the different countries of the world and their respective necessary information. The app supports switching between light an dark mode depending on the user with just a click of the button. Users are able to search for the country they are looking for from the text field (This brings up the desired result as requested by the user). If the search query isn't found all the countries load up. It has localization which helps the user choose what language they want to view the app in. The filter button helps tailor user to match the continents and time zone of the countries they want found. Improtant details such as coat of arms logo, population, flag image, area etc. are also displayed on the details page

The app shows a well alphabetically arranged list of countries grouping them by first letter of their names. On clicking any of the countries, the user is directed to the screen showing the important details of the country such as

In order to produce a great design interface and responsiveness, the following plugins were used:

• http: this was used to communicate with the endpoint and enabled me to GET the API json response which was needed by the project
• flutter_screenutil: Used for responsiveness to avoid rendering issues across all platforms of devices
• flutter_svg: this was used for displaying .svg images
• shared_preferences: used to store local data (in our case, the language chosen) so when the user logs back in language remains what was selected
• provider: used the provider state management technique to allow data to be accessible anywhere in the app
• carousel_slider: this was to create a smooth and beautiful widget sliding
• modal_bottom_sheet: this was used to create a bottom sheet to hold supplementary screens while still on a main screen

It has a model class which holds the country_model class and has the required structure needed by the project.

• The API didn't have all information required, so i had to find my way about showing the information
• I had some issues with the logic in implementing some parts (Search, filter). But solved them after giving it much thought and time.
• The sudden change in delivery time also affected me, but i was able ti finish just in time.

Given more time i would have loved to add the following:

• Make the app faster in loading data
• Ability to filter by even more options
• Automatic dark mode support that takes the system theme mode, i only implemented the in App change of theme
