Almost all of them do not have a standard mobile app.</p> <p><a href="https://media2.dev.to/dynamic/image/width=800%2Cheight=%2Cfit=scale-down%2Cgravity=auto%2Cformat=auto/https%3A%2F%2Fdev-to-uploads.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com%2Fuploads%2Farticles%2Fmmf03p1mlh5tj1zykizx.png" class="article-body-image-wrapper"><img src="https://media2.dev.to/dynamic/image/width=800%2Cheight=%2Cfit=scale-down%2Cgravity=auto%2Cformat=auto/https%3A%2F%2Fdev-to-uploads.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com%2Fuploads%2Farticles%2Fmmf03p1mlh5tj1zykizx.png" alt=" " width="799" height="500"></a></p> <p>This weekend, I thought about how AI Coding tools like Cursor can help bridge that gap. A simple idea was to bridge the model (as in MVC ) across the eCommerce solution and the Mobile App.<br> I took Lunar, asked Cursor to migrate the models from Lunar to a Flutter App, for type safety and data parity across the back-end and the mobile app. In a few prompts, I was able to build a complete mobile app in flutter that consumed the GraphQL endpoints.</p> <p>The website is Friendly Diamonds&nbsp;, it exposes it's API at <a href="https://friendlydiamonds.com/api/us/config/shop/lister-cards" rel="noopener noreferrer">https://friendlydiamonds.com/api/us/config/shop/lister-cards</a> (common for a headless ecommerce / cms apps to expose its API for the frontend). The Laravel app reads this, in a paginated manner and imports the products, categories and images, writes it own GraphQL endpoints and the flutter app implements it.</p> <p>Complete sourcecode at <a href="https://github.com/imzeeshan/commercify" rel="noopener noreferrer">https://github.com/imzeeshan/commercify</a></p> <p><a href="https://media2.dev.to/dynamic/image/width=800%2Cheight=%2Cfit=scale-down%2Cgravity=auto%2Cformat=auto/https%3A%2F%2Fdev-to-uploads.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com%2Fuploads%2Farticles%2F9fo7zw7gkrb7azc16gtt.png" class="article-body-image-wrapper"><img src="https://media2.dev.to/dynamic/image/width=800%2Cheight=%2Cfit=scale-down%2Cgravity=auto%2Cformat=auto/https%3A%2F%2Fdev-to-uploads.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com%2Fuploads%2Farticles%2F9fo7zw7gkrb7azc16gtt.png" alt=" " width="800" height="470"></a></p> <p>Comments welcome..</p> laravel ecommerce flutter
