Closes #3

Changes

Bug fixes

  • Widget test: Rewrote the broken counter-app test to verify the actual CarbonTracker welcome screen with localized text
  • Package name: Changed pubspec.yaml name from template_flutter to carbon_tracker to match the project
  • Internal imports: Updated all 6 package:template_flutter/... imports to package:carbon_tracker/...
  • User model type safety: Changed List<dynamic> to List<String> for preferredTransports and frequentTransports
  • Empty test stub: Removed empty database_test.dart that caused test suite compilation failure

Features

  • Localization wiring: Added localizationsDelegates and supportedLocales to MaterialApp so translation infrastructure actually works
  • Database initialization: Calls DatabaseHelper().initDB() in main() before runApp() to ensure the database is ready

Testing

  • flutter analyze: No issues found
  • flutter test: All tests pass (1/1)

Review Change Stack

Walkthrough

This PR fixes three initialization issues: migrates the package namespace to carbon_tracker, initializes the database on app startup via async main, wires localization support into MaterialApp, tightens User model transport list types, and updates the widget test to match the actual app UI.

Changes

App Initialization and Package Migration

Layer / File(s) Summary
Package namespace migration and database schema updates
pubspec.yaml, lib/database/database_helper.dart, lib/database/models/trips.dart, lib/database/models/user.dart
Package name and description updated to carbon_tracker. All database layer imports updated from template_flutter to carbon_tracker namespace. User model's preferredTransports and frequentTransports fields tightened from List<dynamic> to List<String> for improved type safety.
App initialization and localization wiring
lib/main.dart
main converted to async with WidgetsFlutterBinding.ensureInitialized() and DatabaseHelper().initDB() initialization before runApp. MaterialApp wired with localization delegates and supported locales. AppBar title changed from static "Carbon Tracker" text to localized hello string with fallback.
Widget test alignment
test/widget_test.dart
Widget test rewritten to verify actual CarbonTracker UI; now expects localized welcome text 'Hello' and 'Welcome to Carbon Tracker!' instead of template counter assertions. Import updated to package:carbon_tracker/main.dart.

Poem

🐰 A rabbit hops through namespace migrations keen,
Database seeds now planted, initialization seen.
Localization blooms in every tongue,
Widget tests sing true—the work is done!
Carbon footprints traced with care and might. 🌍✨

Cast decoded transport arrays to List<String> in User.fromMap.
User.fromMap assigns raw jsonDecode(...) (for JSON arrays this is typically List<dynamic>) into fields typed as List<String>, which can fail with a runtime type error when constructing User.

Proposed fix
   factory User.fromMap(Map<String, dynamic> map) {
     return User(
       id: map['id'],
-      preferredTransports: jsonDecode(map['preferred_transports']),
-      frequentTransports: jsonDecode(map['frequent_transports']),
+      preferredTransports:
+          List<String>.from(jsonDecode(map['preferred_transports']) as List),
+      frequentTransports:

⚠️ Potential issue | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Use getDB() at startup to initialize the singleton DB handle.

Line 8 currently calls initDB(), but that path does not assign DatabaseHelper._database. The first later getDB() call will initialize again instead of using a prewarmed singleton path.

Proposed fix
 void main() async {
   WidgetsFlutterBinding.ensureInitialized();
-  await DatabaseHelper().initDB();
+  await DatabaseHelper().getDB();
   runApp(const MyApp());
 }
