Basic and advanced networking in Dart and Flutter
summary
Migrates domain models to generated JSON-aware classes so API models and mappers disappear, uses JSON serializable (via dart run build_runner) with custom converters for dates and enums, parses union/variant types by injecting runtime type hints, adds an interceptor that reads a request marker to attach auth headers, and replaces repetitive HTTP code with dio + retrofit generation. The demo app uses a mocked backend, the rebuilt client runs and renders events, and the approach removes a large amount of manual code while scaling to many endpoints.
