Flutter quick start

This quick start is intended to let you quickly try using several common Cloudinary features. It doesn't necessarily employ coding best practices and the code you create here isn't intended for production.

You can perform this quick start in a code sandbox or in a clean project in the dev environment of your choice.

You can also view the completed code of this quick start in a GitHub repo and code explorer.

In this quick start you'll learn how to start delivering your media from Cloudinary using the @cloudinary/flutter package.

Prerequisites

To perform the steps in this quick start, you'll need:

• A Cloudinary account. If you don't have one yet, you can quickly register for free.

If you want to try uploading an image via the Cloudinary Console, expand the following section for instructions:

3. Transform and deliver the image

Use the CldImageWidget to display the full image URL based on the specified transformation parameters:

Copy and paste the following code, under the configuration code:
