SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill addresses the common issue of tightly coupled, unmaintainable code in Flutter projects by enforcing a strict separation of concerns between UI, logic, and data layers.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Layered Architecture Enforcement: Provides a clear blueprint for organizing code into UI, Data, and Domain layers.
  • Standardized Workflow: Offers a step-by-step checklist for implementing features, ensuring consistency across the codebase.
  • Use Case: Use this when starting a new feature or refactoring legacy code to ensure that business logic is decoupled from UI widgets and data fetching is centralized in repositories.

Quick Start

Apply the flutter-apply-architecture-best-practices skill to refactor the current feature module according to the MVVM pattern.

FAQPage Schema
How do I structure a Flutter project to separate UI, business logic, and data layers?

To structure a Flutter project with separation of concerns, apply a layered architecture that divides code into distinct UI, Domain, and Data layers. This approach enforces clean boundaries and centralizes data fetching in repositories.

What is the best way to refactor tightly coupled Flutter widgets?

Refactoring tightly coupled Flutter widgets requires enforcing the MVVM pattern to decouple business logic from the UI. This ensures your codebase remains maintainable and scalable by centralizing state management and dependency injection.

When do I need the Repository pattern in Flutter state management?

You need the Repository pattern in Flutter state management when centralizing data fetching to decouple domain logic from data sources. It provides a consistent dependency injection workflow and ensures business logic remains separate from UI widgets.

Does this MVVM architecture approach work for both new features and legacy code?

Yes, the MVVM architecture approach works for both new features and legacy code refactoring. It provides a standardized step-by-step checklist ensuring consistent separation of concerns across your entire Flutter project regardless of its current state.

How do I enforce consistent dependency injection across my Flutter application?

To enforce consistent dependency injection across a Flutter application, implement the MVVM and Repository patterns together. This combination standardizes your workflow and maintains a strict separation of concerns between logic and data layers.

Why does my Flutter codebase become unmaintainable as it scales?

Your Flutter codebase becomes unmaintainable as it scales due to tightly coupled code lacking separation of concerns. Enforcing a layered architecture with the MVVM pattern decouples UI widgets from business logic, directly improving scalability.
