-----------------------------------------------------

FeatureBuddy provides an easy way to collect feedback from your users and build a better product.

## Requirements

* [FeatureBuddy](https://app.featurebuddy.com) Account
* FeatureBuddy API Key, available in [Settings > API Key](https://app.featurebuddy.com)

## Quick start

### Installing

Add `featurebuddy` as a [dependency in your pubspec.yaml file](https://flutter.io/platform-plugins/) (and run an implicit `dart pub get`):

```yaml
dependencies:
  featurebuddy: 1.0.0
```

Alternatively run this command:

```sh
flutter pub add featurebuddy
```

### Base usage

Initialize FeatureBuddy by calling `FeatureBuddyConfig.configure(apiKey: 'YOUR_API_KEY_GOES_HERE');` in your `main.dart` file.

After that, you can use the `FeatureBuddy` widget in your app.

```dart
import 'package:featurebuddy/featurebuddy.dart'; // [!code ++]

void main() {
  FeatureBuddyConfig.configure(apiKey: 'YOUR_API_KEY_GOES_HERE'); // [!code ++]
  runApp(const MyApp());
}

class MyApp extends StatelessWidget {
  const MyApp({super.key});

  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return const MaterialApp(home: FeaturesScreen()); // [!code highlight]
  }
}

// [!code ++:13]
class FeaturesScreen extends StatelessWidget {
  const FeaturesScreen({super.key});

  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return Scaffold(
      appBar: AppBar(
        title: const Text('Features'),
      ),
      body: const FeatureBuddy(),
    );
  }
}
```
