This Flutter application, named "Countries," is developed using Flutter version 3.10.1. The app consumes a REST API to retrieve country information, such as capital, continent, and flag. The REST API used in this project can be found at: restcountries.com
Note: This repository serves as an example for implementing a REST API in a Flutter application.

The project structure consists of the following directories:
- data/model: Contains the country model class, which was generated using quicktype.io
- data/provider: Handles API communication
- data/service: Acts as a middle layer between the UI and the API, allowing for easy swapping of APIs without affecting the code
- screens: Contains the home page, which focuses on showcasing the API connection
The Countries app provides the following features:
- Displaying a list of countries in alphabetical order
- Showing the country's capital and continent, along with its flag
- Sorting countries alphabetically by name, capital, or continent by clicking on the respective buttons in the top menu
- Search functionality that allows users to find countries based on their names, capitals, or continents
- Buttons at the bottom, one of which directs users to this GitHub repository and the other activates a search input field
- Cross-platform compatibility: The app runs on iOS, Android, and the web. You can access the web version hosted on GitHub Pages via this link: GitHub Pages Link
