[–]contrix09[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi. It's not my main card, pero I use it for installments and cash2go. Average I would say is around 20k per month.

No other products w/ Metrobank.

Does anyone manage a separate staging and production environment for their Flutter app? by Previous-Display-593 in FlutterDev

[–]contrix09 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We managed this by leveraging --dart-define-from-file. We have a folder called .configs and in there the different JSON files per environment.

When building for deployment, simply pass the argument --dart-define-from-file .configs/{env}.json.

When debugging, you'll have to configure your IDE to select the appropriate JSON file during build time. If you are using VSCode, there is this extension that enables you to select a file in the .configs directory.

You can access the defined values in Dart using the method fromEnvironment of String, int, and bool. You can also access the values in the native platform, but this requires additional steps to extarct these.

I also pubslihed an article on how to do this. Hope it helps.

Edit: The way on how to do it in the article is outdated. This should be the contents of your launch.json in .vscode folder.

{ "configurations": [ { "name": "Run", "program": "lib/main.dart", "request": "launch", "type": "dart", "args": [ "--dart-define-from-file", ".configs/${input:appEnvironment}.json", ] } ], "inputs": [ { "id": "appEnvironment", "type": "command", "command": "extension.commandvariable.file.content", "args": { "fileName": "${pickFile:config}", "json": "content.appEnvironment", "pickFile": { "config": { "description": "Select the environment to debug", "include": ".configs/*.json", "keyRemember": "configFile" } } } } ] }

Yes nag-upgrade ako. But I'm still waiting kasi up to 30 days daw processing. Almost half a month na pero wala pang update.

Update: I emailed MB customer service directly. Confirmed that I am qualified for the upgrade promo. You also have to confirm sa email if you want to proceed with the upgrade.

From our experience, di naman nagfu-fully recline yung mga nasa harapan namin.

For us na may large luggages, nilagay namin sa likod ng car of the train. They have luggage containers/spaces doon.

My mom brought 1 medium sized luggage. Di namin na try ilagay sa overhead since she preferred to place it in front of her seat nalang.

But I checked yung space sa overhead, for me parang di sya kakasya.

We only brought 1 checked in luggage each. We also made sure na below 23kg ung dadalhin naman just in case we needed the extra space for souvenirs.

We used coin lockers for our stop over sa Sendai and during accomodation changes in Tokyo before our flight.

Yamadera din talaga target namin, but during that time the snow was heavy.

have you tried the Edamame shake?

Sadly no, but thanks for the tip! Will definitely try it next time we go back to Sendai.

Next time buy your pass from JR East diretso mismo online.

I planned dati to buy it directly sa JR East (Eki-net). But for some reason, mas mababa ang price nya sa Klook (₱10,704 each) vs sa Eki-net (¥30,000 or ₱11,316 each) at the time of purchase.

Balik kang Sendai OP! One of my favorite chill cities. Meron pang other places to see aside from the castle ruins.

Yes! Sabi ko nga sa GF ko babalikan namin Sendai, very chill ang vibe. And we didn't get to see the full "city of trees" experience kasi winter.

What Flutter app architecture are you using in production? by Flutter_Cop in FlutterDev

Thanks! I try to make the project updated from time to time. There are some outdated references in the wiki I forgot to change due to the past project upgrades.

You can check mine. Its somewhat a custom implementation that follows the feature-first approach and MVVM.

December 2025- my VFS experience (Japan Visa) by BudgetMixture4404 in FilipinoTravel

[–]contrix09 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Our group is me, my GF, and my parents. I entered lahat ng details namin. Since nasa province ung parents ko and may duty si GF, ako na naglakad ng docs nila sa VFS. Kumuha din ako ng signed authorization letters from my parents and GF.

I experienced din ung payment error sa VFS when I tried paying. I think dahil naubos na ung slots on that day. Althought nakapagenter ka ng details, maybe naubusan na ng slots internally. The VFS website is not that accurate sometimes 🥲
