This NBA Info App is a lightweight project built to demonstrate working with real-world APIs in a Flutter environment. The app fetches live data from the BALLDONTLIE API, giving users the ability to browse NBA teams and view detailed information about each team’s roster, including player names, positions, and jersey numbers.

While the app is intentionally minimal in design, it serves as a technical showcase of API integration, asynchronous data handling, clean architecture and clean state management in Flutter. It's a practical example of how to connect a mobile frontend with dynamic, server-based content in real time.

Features:

  • Fetches and displays a list of NBA teams

  • Tap a team to view its players and roster details

  • Real-time data retrieval from an external NBA API

  • Clean and organized JSON parsing into Dart models

  • Simple UI focused on functionality over visuals

  • Built with Flutter and Dart using best practices

  • Ideal for demonstrating RESTful API consumption in mobile apps

Tech Stack

  • Flutter for the mobile frontend

  • Provider for State management and dependency injection

  • BALLDONTLIE API to fetch teams and player data

  • Dio for network request

Why I Built This

This app was created as a personal project to sharpen my skills in working with APIs and asynchronous operations in Flutter. It helped me gain hands-on experience with parsing external data, managing state, and structuring API requests in a clean, reusable way.

It’s not about flashy UI—it’s about proving I understand how to connect apps to real data, interpret it correctly, and display it reliably.
