Hookshot

Hookshot is a feedback and survey SDK for Flutter apps, an accompanying backend to collect responses and a dashboard for your team to view them.

Since Wiredash is a popular, albeit expensive, feedback and survey service for the Flutter ecosystem, Hookshot is designed for compatability with the Wiredash SDK. Simply change your pubspec.yaml import to use our fork at https://github.com/millsteed/wiredash-sdk, which lets you supply a custom host to the Wiredash widget to point the SDK at Hookshot instead of Wiredash. Here's an example:

dependencies:
  # ...
  wiredash:
    git: https://github.com/millsteed/wiredash-sdk.git

@override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
  return Wiredash(
    host: 'https://app.hookshot.software/api/sdk',
    // host: http://localhost:8080/api/sdk,
    // host: https://hookshot.yourdomain.tld/api/sdk,
    projectId: wiredashProject,
    secret: wiredashSecret,
    child: App(),
  );
}

Quickstart

Hookshot is built using Dart and Flutter and its only dependency is a PostgreSQL database. The easiest way to run it is with Docker Compose, which will bring up the database and server to serve the API and dashboard, but it's simple enough to run directly from VS Code or the command line.

Docker Compose

Either you like to do things on easy mode or your don't have Flutter installed - right on. Make sure you have Docker installed and run the following:

docker compose up

Yeah, it's that easy, add the -d flag if you don't like walls of text. Give it a few minutes to build everything and then head on over to http://localhost:8080.

Dart/Flutter

To get started you need Flutter and Postgres installed. Set up the database schema by executing postgres/schema.sql in Postgres. By default the server will connect to the database at postgres://postgres:postgres@localhost:5432/postgres, but this can be configured with the following environment variables: DATABASE_HOST, DATABASE_PORT, DATABASE_USER, DATABASE_PASS and DATABASE_NAME. We have a Docker Compose file which will run Postgres with these settings and automatically apply the schema. You can run it with:

docker compose -f compose.dependencies.yaml up -d

Since we use freezed to generate our models, codegen needs to be run for both the protocol and server packages. If you haven't used codegen in Dart before, you can do this by running the following in both package directories:

dart run build_runner build

Now bring up the server and the app with the following commands or run them directly from your IDE:

cd server && dart run bin/server.dart

cd app && flutter run -d chrome

You're all set up! If you ran the above from your IDE in debug mode you have hot reloading for both the server and app.
