Code with Andrea is free for everyone. Help me keep it that way by checking out this sponsor:
Build Privacy-First Flutter apps with the @platform. Our Open Source platform, which is built on Dart, gives people control over their own data. Automatically comply with GDPR (and other privacy regulations), earn commissions as you grow, and make apps super fast — no backend infrastructure needed.
36. Use `Timer.periodic` to create a timer that repeats with a given period
37. Need to convert an enum to an int or viceversa? Use `.index` and `values[i]`
![Need to convert an enum to an int or viceversa? Use .index and values\[i\]](images/037.enum-index-values.png)
38. Use asserts to disrupt program execution if a boolean condition is false
39. Need a better logger for your apps? Use the logger package

41. Anonymous functions can be assigned to variables, or passed as arguments to other functions
42. Want a function that can only throw? Use Never
