Hey! Convex doesn’t support Flutter/Dart at the moment.
Some things you can do instead:
— There is an HTTP api (https://docs.convex.dev/http-api/) that you can use to call your Convex functions (but you can't get realtime updates with it)
— If you’re writing an app for the Dart web platform (i.e. only writing an app that executes in the browser), you could try using Dart’s JavaScript interoperability (https://dart.dev/interop/js-interop) to use the Convex JavaScript client
— You could try using FFI to wrap our Rust client (https://docs.rs/convex/latest/convex/) in your Dart code (for instance using https://thlorenz.com/rid-site/)
