Set environment variables

In order for Flex Storefront to connect to your running Hybris instance, you will need to provide certain environment variables.

Understanding the folder structure

The Starter app is built using flex_navigation, this is the first Flex package you are currently using. This package is listed in the pubspec.yaml file under the dependencies key:

/pubspec.yaml
dependencies:
  flex_navigation: ^1.0.0
  flutter:
    sdk: flutter

This package is used to implement the global navigation scheme, with smooth transitions, deep-linking, etc. Put yourself in the end user situation and navigate in this raw eCommerce application: PLP, PDP, Cart page, etc.
