Clean Flutter Architecture

Flutter Clean Folder Architecture: Saving Time and Simplifying Development.

Introduction

Inspired by the Sudesh Bandara, this extension will help you quickly scaffold a Feature Folder, Core Folder, and Generate classes.

Feature Folder	Core Folder

Installation

This extension can be installed from the VSCode Marketplace or by searching within VSCode.

How to Feature Command Usage

You can activate the command by launching the command palette (View -> Command Palette) and running.

• Onyxsio : Generator feature folder
• Onyxsio : Generator core folder
• Onyxsio : Generate from class properties
• Onyxsio : Generate from JSON

Or you can right click on the directory in which you'd like to create the feature and select the New Feature command from the context menu.

Revolutionize Your Flutter Projects with Efficient Folder Structures.

In the fast-paced world of app development, time is of the essence. Flutter, the open-source UI software development toolkit, has gained immense popularity for its flexibility and ease of use. However, managing large-scale Flutter projects efficiently can be a daunting task without a clear organizational structure. This is where the concept of "Clean Folder Architecture" comes into play. In this article, we will explore how implementing a clean folder architecture in your Flutter projects can save you valuable time and simplify the development process.

What is Clean Folder Architecture?

Clean Folder Architecture is a software design pattern that emphasizes organizing project files and directories in a logical and coherent manner. By structuring your Flutter project into distinct modules, layers, and components, you create a clear separation of concerns, making it easier to navigate, maintain, and scale your codebase.

Flutter Clean Architecture is a design pattern that promotes separation of concerns and maintainability of code by organizing it into different layers: Presentation, Domain, and Data. Here's how you can structure your Flutter project using the Clean Architecture approach:

1. Presentation Layer:

• Widgets: Contains the UI components of your application. Separate folders can be created for each feature or screen.
• Screens: UI screens of your application, organized by features.
• ViewModels or Blocs: Business logic for UI components. You can use Provider, Riverpod, Bloc, or any other state management solution here.

2. Domain Layer:

• Use Cases: Contains application-specific business rules and logic.
• Entities: Plain Dart objects representing the core data models of your application.
• Repositories Interface: Abstract classes defining methods for data operations. Actual implementations will be in the Data layer.

3. Data Layer:

• Repositories Implementation: Implement the repository interfaces defined in the Domain layer. This is where you interact with external data sources like APIs or databases.
• Data Sources: APIs, databases, or any external data providers.
• Models: Data models specific to the data layer. They can be different from entities in the domain layer to accommodate data source specifics.

4. Core Folder:

• Network: Code related to making API calls and handling network requests.
• Database: Code related to local database storage (if applicable).
• Routes: Define your application routes and navigation logic here.
• Helpers: Utility classes and functions that can be used across the application.
• Constants: Application-wide constants.
• Extensions: Dart extensions for built-in classes.
• Localization: Language translations and localization files.

8. Configs:

• Environment Config: Configuration files for different environments (development, production, staging, etc.).
