 2. LITERATURE SURVEY

2.1 INTRODUCTION

1. User Authentication: Event management applications generally incorporate secure user

authentication mechanisms, such as email and social logins, to ensure only authorized access.
Flutter’s integration with Firebase Auth offers easy implementation of email, Google, and
Facebook login functionalities.
2. Event Creation and Customization: Users need tools to create events with customizable details,
such as name, date, location, and guest list. Flutter’s flexible widget system supports rich UIs,
allowing easy customization of event forms and layouts.
3. Real-time Notifications: Timely updates are essential for users to be informed about event
changes. With Flutter, Firebase Cloud Messaging (FCM) or local notifications can be used to send
reminders, updates, and announcements in real time.
4. User-Friendly UI/UX Design: Given the variety of users, from organizers to attendees, event
management apps require a simple and intuitive interface. Flutter’s rich set of widgets and
Material Design components makes it possible to develop a user-friendly interface that is visually
appealing and easy to navigate.
5. Calendar and Scheduling: Integrated calendar functionalities allow users to schedule events, set
reminders, and view upcoming events. Using Flutter packages like table_calendar, developers
can easily implement interactive calendars in their applications.
6. Location Services and Mapping: Event applications benefit from location-based features, such as
showing event venues on a map or enabling geolocation for attendee check-ins. Flutter, combined
with packages like google_maps_flutter, provides seamless integration with Google Maps for
these functionalities.
7. Ticketing and RSVP Management: For event registration and ticket management, apps often
include RSVP features and ticket purchases. Flutter’s state management libraries (e.g., Provider,
Bloc) help manage user states, like ticket purchases, across the app efficiently.
8. Chat and Communication: Many event apps include in-app chat functionalities to facilitate
communication between organizers and participants. Flutter’s WebSocket support and Firebase
integration make it easy to implement real-time chat features.

 9. Data Analytics and Feedback Collection: Organizers often need insights on attendance and
feedback. Using Firebase Analytics, Flutter apps can track user interactions, while survey or
feedback forms can be built using form widgets for gathering user opinions post-event.
10. Cross-Platform Compatibility: The Flutter framework’s primary benefit lies in its ability to
develop cross-platform applications with a single codebase. This allows for a consistent experience
across Android, iOS, and even web platforms, reducing development time and maintenance
efforts.

2.2 SUMMARY

The literature survey on event management applications highlights the essential features required, such as
user authentication, event creation, real-time notifications, calendar integration, ticketing, and location-
based services. Utilizing the Flutter framework, developers benefit from its cross-platform compatibility,
enabling a single codebase to function seamlessly on Android, iOS, and web platforms. Flutter’s robust
widget system allows for intuitive UI/UX design, while integration with Firebase enhances real-time
features like notifications, chat, and data analytics. Overall, Flutter provides a scalable, efficient solution
for building comprehensive event management applications that cater to diverse user needs.
