Overview
Brick GraphQL is a Flutter/Dart package that integrates GraphQL with Brick, a data persistence library. It provides annotations, adapters, models, and providers to streamline fetching and managing GraphQL data in Flutter apps. The package supports all major platforms including Android, iOS, Web, macOS, Windows, and Linux. By leveraging Brick's type-safe, generated code approach, developers can efficiently work with GraphQL APIs while maintaining clean, maintainable code. It simplifies schema handling and reduces boilerplate through code generation.
