Introduction
In this article, we will learn how to use Huawei Cloud Functions service as Chatbot service in ChatBotApp in flutter. Cloud Functions enables serverless computing.
It provides the Function as a Service (FaaS) capabilities to simplify app development and O&M by splitting service logic into functions and offers the Cloud Functions SDK that works with Cloud DB and Cloud Storage so that your app functions can be implemented more easily. Cloud Functions automatically scales in or out functions based on actual traffic, freeing you from server resource management and helping you reduce costs.
Key Functions
Key Concepts
How the Service Works
To use Cloud Functions, you need to develop cloud functions that can implement certain service functions in AppGallery Connect and add triggers for them, for example, HTTP triggers for HTTP requests, and Cloud DB triggers for data deletion or insertion requests after Cloud DB is integrated. After your app that integrates the Cloud Functions SDK meets conditions of specific function triggers, your app can call the cloud functions, which greatly facilitates service function building.
Platform Support
Development Overview
You need to install Flutter and Dart plugin in IDE and I assume that you have prior knowledge about the Flutter and Dart.
Hardware Requirements
A computer (desktop or laptop) running Windows 10.
Android phone (with the USB cable), which is used for debugging.
Software Requirements
Java JDK 1.7 or later.
Android studio software or Visual Studio or Code installed.
HMS Core (APK) 4.X or later.
Integration process
Step 1: Create Flutter project.
Step 2: Add the App level gradle dependencies. Choose inside project Android > app > build.gradle.
[/B][/B]
apply plugin: 'com.android.application'
apply plugin: 'com.huawei.agconnect'
[B][B]
Root level gradle dependencies
maven {url 'https://developer.huawei.com/repo/'}
classpath 'com.huawei.agconnect:agcp:1.5.2.300'
Step 3: Add the below permissions in Android Manifest file.
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />
Step 4: Add downloaded file into parent directory of the project. Declare plugin path in pubspec.yaml file under dependencies.
Add path location for asset image.

Tricks and Tips
Makes sure that agconnect-services.json file added.
Make sure dependencies are added yaml file.
Run flutter pug get after adding dependencies.
Make sure that service is enabled in agc.
Makes sure images are defined in yaml file.
Conclusion
