#100DaysOfCodeChallenge -Crop Management Information System- Day 3
On Day 2 I created the
FarmerServce() class that is responsible for making network calls to Firebase Auth Farmer collection and documents. I also created the AddFarmerCommand() class that is responsible for passing an instance of the FarmerServiceModel() to FarmerService().Today I created the Farmer registration form. This form will accept user input than will create an instance of the
FarmerServiceModel() that will be stored in cloud firestore.Building this form exposed weaknesses in my understanding for Flutter layout and using dart late variable.
Below is a screenshot of the form design followed by the code.

}This code need to be refactored to improve readability and maintainability. I will refactor this code in a future post.
Building this form made me realize the need to better understand how Layout and constraints in flutter works. We will build our capacity in this area in a future post as well.
On Day 3, I built the Farmer Form but more importantly I realized the need to improve my knowledge of flutter layout and constraints.
Coming to flutter from a Django background made we realize the need of a dart package that automate the creation of forms from dart Models. This is a beautiful problem that I hope to solve in the future.
