- Futures are used for asynchronous programming in Flutter
- Futures return a single value (or an error) and are often used with
async
andawait
. - The
then
method can be used to attach a callback to a Future that will be executed once the Future’s value is available - Futures can be combined with other Futures using
Future.wait
orFuture.whenComplete
methods - Futures are often used with network requests, file I/O operations, and other long-running tasks in Flutter.
