Feature: [Discuss] the need for testing PR

[AdarshRawat1]

Current Problems

• Inconsistent code formatting, causing problem in detecting changes and testing PRs
  ( Shows a lot of unnecessary changes in PR and may also introduce unwanted merge conflicts in future)
  Reference of such a event ( PR had to be reverted due to bugs) -
  Original PR - Prevent Dublicate alarms #257
  Revert - Revert "Prevent Dublicate alarms" #268

The problem is relevant for Beacon project as well [ https://github.com/CCExtractor/beacon ]

Solution

• Adopt the official Dart formatting rules and use the dartfmt tool to automatically format Dart code on commit/push.
• Use of linting tools
• we can also use flutter drive for automating end-to-end UI testing and automated testing for unit tests and components as well

impact

• dartfmt ensures consistent code style across the codebase for cleaner diffs.
• Testing ensures that bugs are detected before going into production

Notes

• Even if the testing might seem unnecessary at the moment for this application, but I strongly suggest using a linting or a standard formatting to ensure that changes made in PR are easier for maintainers to track and code base remains consistent.
• This issue will be divided it into subtasks.
• I would like to work on this.

I'll assign this to you, testing has definitely gotten more important for the application now. Let me know if you get stuck anywhere, happy to help :)

The project is definitely growing, and we need a proper method of tracking changes.
I would suggest https://docs.github.com/en/issues/planning-and-tracking-with-projects/learning-about-projects/about-projects, a Trello board, or some other project management solution.
