Understanding data synchronization

As we near the conclusion of our journey through the repository pattern, it’s essential to address a critical aspect of managing data in a Flutter app: synchronizing data sources. In this section, we’ll explore the concept of data synchronization and how it can be implemented within our Candy Store app.

In many real-world applications, data doesn’t reside solely in one place. Instead, it’s distributed across multiple data sources, such as local databases and remote APIs. Keeping these data sources synchronized ensures that the information presented to users is consistent and up-to-date, regardless of where they access it from.

For our Candy Store app, this means making sure that the candy data stored in our local database matches the data on our remote server. This synchronization process involves periodic updates and conflict resolution to handle scenarios where changes might occur in both locations simultaneously...
