Suggestions for an ERP with Flutter with background in PHP

Help General

Hi All,

I’ve been developing only mobile apps with Flutter and now I am thinking about a different idea and would like your opinions about that. I have an ERP made with PHP, using MariaDB as database, but because of some requirements I am planning to develop this using Flutter.
What I have in mind is: to make everything in Flutter, using an API written in PHP, which will make all database transactions (INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE, SELECT) and give back the results to app in JSON. So my questions are:

1 - Have anyone made something similar, with this scenario?
2 - What do you think about my ideas?

If you you have different points of view, please let me know.

Hi,

We use a similar approach for our app, we have a Flutter frontend with a PHP backend built with Laravel. The backend provides a REST API which is easy to use in the Flutter app.

But if anyone else have another statement, please feel free to do it.

We have a Laravel backend too and use Scramble PRO - Laravel API development experience perfected
To auto generate OpenApi specs from it that we then use to generate Dart client code including deserialization
