How to add components to your FlutterFlow screens?

Step 1: Open Your FlutterFlow Project

Start by logging into your FlutterFlow account. If you do not have one, consider creating a new account. Once you are logged in, navigate to the project dashboard and select the project you wish to add components to. This will take you to the main menu of your application.

Step 2: Select Your Screen

On the left side of your project editor, you will see an outline of your project. This includes both the backend and frontend details of your project. Click on the name of the screen you wish to add components to. Once selected, you should see the layout of your screen in the central part of your screen.

Step 3: Navigate to the '+' Button

In order to add a new component to your screen, look towards the top right hand side of your screen. Here, you will see a "+" button, which is used for adding components to your screen.

Step 4: Search or Scroll for Your Desired Component

Upon clicking the "+" button, a list of all available components should appear. This includes basic components such as text, images, and buttons, as well as more advanced components such as maps, tables, and checkboxes. You can either scroll through this list until you find the one you need, or use the search tool at the top of this panel to find the component quickly.

Step 5: Add the Component to Your Screen

Hover over the component you wish to add to your screen. You will see an "Add" or "+" button appear. Clicking on this will add the selected component to your screen. You may need to navigate back to the main project editor to see this change.

Step 6: Edit the Added Component

In the main project editor, you should see the new component added in what FlutterFlow determines the next logical position. If you have other components already on your screen, this could be below or to the right of these components. On the right side of the editor, you will see a panel that allows you to edit the properties of the selected component.

Step 7: Save and Publish Your Changes

Once you have added and edited your component to your satisfaction, click "Save" or the floppy disk icon on the top right side of the editor to save your changes. Then, click "Publish" or the play icon to make your changes live to your application.

Step 8: Test Your Changes

Finally, run your application to see if the new component has been added successfully. To test your changes, use the emulator available within the FlutterFlow interface, or deploy the application to a compatible device. If the addition of the component has worked successfully, you should be able to interact with it as you expect.

Congratulations, you have successfully added a new component to your FlutterFlow screen. Remember, the process is almost the same for each component you might want to add, so don’t hesitate to experiment and add more components to enhance your application.
