# Flutter Implementation Playbook Concrete, copy-adaptable patterns for the `flutter-expert` skill. Every snippet targets **Flutter 3.x + Dart 3.x** with null safety. Use these as starting points, then adapt to the project's architecture and constraints. --- ## 1. Recommended Project Structure (feature-first + clean layers) ``` lib/ main.dart core/ # cross-cutting: theme, router, errors, DI errors/failure.dart network/dio_client.dart features/ products/ data/ # models, DTOs, repositories impl domain/ # entities, repository contracts, use cases presentation/ # widgets, screens, providers/controllers ``` **Rule of thumb:** `presentation` may import `domain`; `data` implements `domain` contracts; `domain` imports nothing from Flutter. This keeps business logic testable without a widget tree. --- ## 2. State Management with Riverpod 2.x (recommended default) Riverpod gives compile-time safety and easy testing. Prefer code-generation (`riverpod_generator`) for new projects. ```dart // products_controller.dart import 'package:riverpod_annotation/riverpod_annotation.dart'; part 'products_controller.g.dart'; @riverpod class ProductsController extends _$ProductsController { @override Future<List<Product>> build() async { // The return value is exposed as AsyncValue<List<Product>>. return ref.watch(productRepositoryProvider).fetchAll(); } Future<void> refresh() async { state = const AsyncLoading(); state = await AsyncValue.guard( () => ref.read(productRepositoryProvider).fetchAll(), ); } } ``` Consume it with explicit loading/error/data states — never assume data is ready: ```dart class ProductsScreen extends ConsumerWidget { const ProductsScreen({super.key}); @override Widget build(BuildContext context, WidgetRef ref) { final productsAsync = ref.watch(productsControllerProvider); return productsAsync.when( loading: () => const Center(child: CircularProgressIndicator()), error: (err, _) => ErrorView(message: err.toString()), data: (products) => ListView.builder( itemCount: products.length, itemBuilder: (_, i) => ProductTile(product: products[i]), ), ); } } ``` --- ## 3. Repository + Dio with error mapping Keep network failures out of the UI. Map them to a typed `Failure` in the data layer. ```dart sealed class Failure { const Failure(this.message); final String message; // Override toString so UI code that renders err.toString() shows the // mapped message instead of "Instance of 'NetworkFailure'". @override String toString() => message; } class NetworkFailure extends Failure { const NetworkFailure(super.message); } class ProductRepository { ProductRepository(this._dio); final Dio _dio; Future<List<Product>> fetchAll() async { try { final res = await _dio.get('/products'); return (res.data as List) .map((json) => Product.fromJson(json as Map<String, dynamic>)) .toList(); } on DioException catch (e) { throw NetworkFailure('Failed to load products: ${e.message}'); } } } ``` --- ## 4. Performance: rebuilds, const, and keys - Mark widgets `const` whenever their inputs are compile-time constants — this lets Flutter skip rebuilds entirely. - Split large `build` methods into smaller widgets so only the changing subtree rebuilds. - Use `ListView.builder` / slivers for long or infinite lists (never map a huge list into a `Column`). - Give list items stable `Key`s when their order can change. ```dart // Good: const stops this subtree from rebuilding on parent changes. const _Header(title: 'Products'); // Bad: rebuilding a giant Column holds every child in memory. Column(children: products.map(ProductTile.new).toList()); ``` Profile with **Flutter DevTools → Performance** and enable the "Rebuild counts" overlay to find widgets rebuilding more than expected. --- ## 5. Widget & golden testing ```dart void main() { testWidgets('shows product name', (tester) async { await tester.pumpWidget( const MaterialApp(home: ProductTile(product: Product(name: 'Seeds'))), ); expect(find.text('Seeds'), findsOneWidget); }); testWidgets('golden matches baseline', (tester) async { await tester.pumpWidget( const MaterialApp(home: ProductTile(product: Product(name: 'Seeds'))), ); await expectLater( find.byType(ProductTile), matchesGoldenFile('goldens/product_tile.png'), ); }); } ``` Run `flutter test --update-goldens` once to create the baseline, then commit the PNG so CI can catch visual regressions. --- ## 6. Async & isolates for CPU-bound work Never block the UI isolate with heavy work (parsing large JSON, image processing). Offload with `compute`: ```dart Future<List<Product>> parseProducts(String rawJson) { return compute(_decode, rawJson); // runs on a background isolate } List<Product> _decode(String rawJson) => (jsonDecode(rawJson) as List) .map((e) => Product.fromJson(e as Map<String, dynamic>)) .toList(); ``` --- ## 7. Common pitfalls - **Problem:** `setState` called after `dispose` → `mounted` exception. **Solution:** guard with `if (!mounted) return;` after any `await`. - **Problem:** Rebuilding the whole screen on every keystroke. **Solution:** isolate the changing widget or use a `select` on the provider. - **Problem:** Memory leaks from uncancelled `StreamSubscription` / controllers. **Solution:** cancel/dispose in `dispose()`; with Riverpod use `ref.onDispose`. - **Problem:** Blocking the UI thread with synchronous file/JSON work. **Solution:** move it to an isolate via `compute` (section 6). --- ## 8. Pre-ship checklist - [ ] `flutter analyze` is clean (no warnings) - [ ] `flutter test` passes, including golden tests - [ ] Widgets use `const` where possible; long lists use builders/slivers - [ ] All loading/error/empty states are handled in the UI - [ ] Controllers, streams, and subscriptions are disposed - [ ] Tested on a real device for both iOS and Android - [ ] Accessibility: semantic labels on interactive widgets, adequate contrast
