Setup

1. Install docker
2. Install the (Dev Containers extension)[https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/devcontainers/tutorial#_install-the-extension] for Visual Studio Code.
3. Clone this repo from Github into a dev container (Ctrl+Shift+P "clone container").
4. Wait for the container to setup. You will get a message once the Flutter extension installs that Flutter needs to be downloaded. Ignore this. Flutter is already downloading in the background, it just takes a few minutes.
5. Once the terminal shows that Flutter has installed, use Ctrl+Shift+P "reload window" to reload the VS code window.
6. From the container terminal, navigate into the "alderman_spending" directory. Run the command flutter pub get.

Run the app

1. Install the Chrome Dart Debug extension.
2. In VS Code, go to the debug settings in the left sidebar and choose the Web Server configuration.
3. Open the main.dart file. Run the debug configuration.
4. Wait 30 seconds to a few minutes for the dev server to spin up.
5. When the webpage opens in a new Chrome tab, activate the Dart extension on that tab.
