So I wanted to make an app for our website and well, it turns out it was easier than I thought. So let’s get started : Download & Activate Plugin For Wordpress Blog Step 1 Link: https://wordpress.org/plugins/easily-generate-rest-api-url/ : In the Wordpress dashboard Step 2 Go to settings (hover over it) > (Click on) Generate Rest API Url, scroll to the bottom you will have an api url. You can modify it if you want. : Create a Flutter Project Step 3 If you didn't already, install and setup Flutter from flutter.dev I used vs code but you can use Android studio as well. It will work just the same. : Create functions to fetch posts and post image url Step 4 Create a file named wp-api.dart and then add , and add this function: http package Future< > fetchWpPosts() { response = http. ( ,
      headers: { : }); convertDatatoJson = jsonDecode(response.body); convertDatatoJson;
} List async final await get "https://flutternerd.com/index.php/wp-json/wp/v2/posts" "Accept" "application/json" var return : Create frontend and use this function by importing the file Step 5 ; ; ; { _HomeState createState() => _HomeState();
} { removeAllHtmlTags( htmlText) { exp = ( , multiLine: , caseSensitive: ); htmlText.replaceAll(exp, );
  } Widget build(BuildContext context) { Scaffold(
      appBar: AppBar(
        title: Text( ),
      ),
      body: Container(
        padding: EdgeInsets.only(top: ),
        child: FutureBuilder(
          future: fetchWpPosts(),
          builder: (context, snapshot) { (snapshot.hasData) { ListView.builder(
                  itemCount: snapshot.data.length,
                  itemBuilder: (BuildContext context, index) { wppost = snapshot.data[index]; PostTile(
                        imageApiUrl: wppost[ ][ ][ ]
                            [ ],
                        excerpt: removeAllHtmlTags(wppost[ ][ ]
                            .replaceAll( , )),
                        desc: wppost[ ][ ],
                        title: wppost[ ][ ]
                            .replaceAll( , ));
                  });
            } Center(child: CircularProgressIndicator());
          },
        ),
      ),
    );
  }

  PostTile({ .imageApiUrl, .title, .desc, .excerpt}); _PostTileState createState() => _PostTileState();
} { imageUrl = ; Widget build(BuildContext context) { GestureDetector(
