Flutter Feature Implementation

Feature Implementation Skill

Checklist

Code Structure

• Files in data/domain/view (DTOs → data, Models → domain)
• @JsonSerializable on DTOs, Equatable on Models
• Repository interface in domain, implementation in data
• Bloc (complex) or Cubit (simple) in view

Design System

• ColorPalette (no hardcoded colors)
• Spacing (no magic numbers)
• Project's Design System Text Widgets (typography)
• Project's Design System Assets (images/icons)
• Core widgets (lib/core/widgets/)

State Management

• Bloc for complex (multiple events), Cubit for simple
• @injectable on classes (auto-registration)
• BlocProvider at page level
• BlocBuilder scoped to minimal subtree

Error Handling

• Try-catch in repositories
• Map DioException → custom exceptions (NetworkException, NotFoundException)
• Error states in Bloc/Cubit
• User-friendly messages

Testing

• Unit tests for Bloc/Cubit (90%+ target)
• Mock with mocktail
• Test structure mirrors source
• Use fixtures for mock data

Quality

• flutter analyze passes (zero errors)
• Run ./build_runner.sh after changes
• Commit *.g.dart files

Patterns

// ✅ Clear naming
class FeatureRepository {}

// ✅ Null safety
final name = user?.name ?? 'Guest';

// ✅ const
const Text('Static');

// ✅ Async/await
try {
  final data = await repository.fetch();
  emit(LoadedState(data));
} catch (e) {
  emit(ErrorState(e.toString()));
}

// ✅ Bloc test
blocTest<MyBloc, MyState>(
  'emits [Loading, Loaded]',
  build: () {
    when(() => repository.fetch()).thenAnswer((_) async => data);
    return bloc;
  },
  act: (bloc) => bloc.add(LoadRequested()),
  expect: () => [LoadingState(), LoadedState(data)],
);
