SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Centralize and standardize HTTP client usage in Flutter apps by enforcing a Dio-based pattern with a single, reusable client, interceptors, and consistent timeouts.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Centralized HttpClient wrapper for all API calls.
  • Factory constructors: create, createAuthenticated, createQuick, createForUpload.
  • AuthInterceptor to attach Bearer tokens and handle token refresh.
  • Centralized configuration for base URLs and timeouts, with debug logging in development.

Quick Start

Initialize the centralized Dio-based HTTP client and perform a test authenticated request to verify the interceptor and token flow.

FAQPage Schema
How do I centralize HTTP client configuration in Flutter using Dio?

Centralize HTTP client configuration in Flutter by using a single Dio-based wrapper with centralized base URLs, timeouts, and interceptors. This enforces a consistent pattern for all API calls across your project.

What is the best way to handle Bearer token authentication in Flutter API clients?

Handle Bearer token authentication in Flutter API clients by applying an AuthInterceptor to your Dio client. This interceptor automatically attaches tokens and manages token refresh logic for authenticated requests.

How do I set up Dio interceptors for token refresh in a Flutter app?

Set up Dio interceptors for token refresh by utilizing a dedicated AuthInterceptor within a centralized HttpClient. This pattern standardizes token attachment and handles refresh flows seamlessly across API calls.

Can I create separate Flutter HTTP clients for file uploads and quick requests?

Yes, you can create separate Flutter HTTP clients for file uploads and quick requests using dedicated factory constructors. These include createForUpload and createQuick to handle specific use cases efficiently.

Why should I use a unified Dio wrapper instead of multiple HTTP instances in Flutter?

A unified Dio wrapper standardizes HTTP usage in Flutter by enforcing consistent timeouts, centralized configuration, and shared interceptors. This prevents scattered configurations and simplifies maintenance across your app.

Does this centralized Flutter HTTP pattern support debug logging during development?

Yes, this centralized Flutter HTTP pattern supports debug logging during development. The single HttpClient wrapper includes built-in logging capabilities to help track and troubleshoot API requests.
