🧩 README Update – Week 3

🔥 Firebase Integration Setup

This project now uses Firebase Firestore to store and fetch program data dynamically for the Program Listing Screen.

Steps to Set Up Firebase in Flutter

1. Go to the Firebase Console.

2. Create a new project (or use an existing one).

3. Click “Add App” → “Flutter” and follow the on-screen instructions.

4. Download the google-services.json file and place it inside your Flutter project:

   android/app/google-services.json
   

5. Open your pubspec.yaml file and add the following dependencies:

   dependencies:
     firebase_core: ^3.3.0
     cloud_firestore: ^5.4.4

6. Run the following commands to initialize Firebase:

   flutter pub get
   flutterfire configure

7. Initialize Firebase in your app by updating the main function:

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

📂 Firestore Data Structure

Firestore Collection: programs

Each document inside programs represents a course category (e.g., data_structures, java, python, etc.).

Example Document:

{
  "program_name": "Data Structures",
  "logo_url": "assets/images/program_images/datastructure.png",
  "total_courses": "5",
  "total_learners": "63k"
}

---

💻 Fetching and Displaying Data in Flutter

The Program Listing Screen uses a StreamBuilder to fetch data in real time from Firestore.

Example Code:

import 'package:cloud_firestore/cloud_firestore.dart';
import 'package:flutter/material.dart';

class ProgramListingScreen extends StatelessWidget {
  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return Scaffold(
      appBar: AppBar(title: Text('Programs')),
      body: StreamBuilder<QuerySnapshot>(
        stream: FirebaseFirestore.instance.collection('programs').snapshots(),
        builder: (context, snapshot) {
          if (snapshot.connectionState == ConnectionState.waiting) {
            return Center(child: CircularProgressIndicator());
          } else if (snapshot.hasError) {
            return Center(child: Text('Error loading data'));
          }

          final programs = snapshot.data!.docs;

          return ListView.builder(
            itemCount: programs.length,
            itemBuilder: (context, index) {
              var data = programs[index].data() as Map<String, dynamic>;
              return Card(
                margin: EdgeInsets.all(8),
                child: ListTile(
                  leading: Image.asset(data['logo_url']),
                  title: Text(data['program_name']),
                  subtitle: Text(
                    '${data['total_courses']} Courses • ${data['total_learners']} Learners',
                  ),
                ),
              );
            },
          );
        },
      ),
    );
  }
}
