LibraryHub | Flutter App for Book Catalog & Member Services

LibraryHub | Flutter App for Book Catalog & Member Services

LibraryHub is a Flutter application for Android and iOS that allows users to browse collections, access digital resources, manage borrowing activity, and update their account from a mobile device.

The app connects directly to the LibraryHub backend through a REST API, keeping catalog information, circulation records, account details, and application settings synchronized in real time. It provides a simple and responsive experience while remaining easy to customize and deploy.

Built with Flutter, the project follows a clean architecture using Provider for state management and flutter_secure_storage for secure authentication. It is suitable for organizations that want to provide members with convenient mobile access to their services.

Backend Requirement

This application requires an installed and configured LibraryHub Backend (available separately on CodeCanyon). The mobile app communicates with the backend through its REST API and cannot operate independently.
