Hey everyone! I'm currently working on a group project for university, and we decided to create a budget tracking app. Our team has split up the roles: one member is handling the backend using PHP, while another is developing the frontend with Flutter. My responsibility is to connect the two, but I'm feeling totally lost on how to do that. What tools or methods should I use to link the Flutter frontend with the PHP backend? Any advice would be greatly appreciated! Thanks for your help!

In most scenarios, your frontend will make API calls to the backend using RESTful services. So, focus on how to set up those API calls to interact properly.
When your Flutter app starts, it needs to fetch data from a backend. You should check where your code makes API requests and update it to connect to the backend URL you're using. If there's any authentication involved, make sure to incorporate that too. It might also be helpful to set up a meeting with your teammates to go through the code together.
You'll need to work with endpoints and ensure your frontend expects the right data format, likely JSON. Your backend should expose an API that the frontend can call to perform actions or fetch data.
