SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill addresses the challenge of maintaining organized, scalable, and maintainable codebases in Flutter applications by enforcing a strict layer-based clean architecture with Domain-Driven Design (DDD) principles. It prevents common architectural pitfalls like mixed responsibilities and incorrect dependency flows.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Separation of Concerns: Enforces distinct layers for Domain, Infrastructure, Application, and Presentation.
  • Dependency Rule Enforcement: Ensures dependencies flow inwards (Presentation -> Application -> Domain <- Infrastructure).
  • DDD Principles: Promotes the use of entities, failures, and repository interfaces in the Domain layer.
  • Immutability: Encourages the use of @freezed for entities and failures.
  • Functional Error Handling: Mandates Either<Failure, Success> for repository return types.
  • Use Case: A team developing a complex e-commerce app can use this Skill to ensure all developers adhere to a consistent, robust architectural pattern, leading to fewer bugs and easier maintenance as the app grows.

Quick Start

Apply the Flutter Layer-based Clean Architecture + DDD standards to the project's lib directory.

FAQPage Schema
How do I enforce clean architecture and separation of concerns in a Flutter app?

You enforce clean architecture in a Flutter app by separating code into distinct Domain, Infrastructure, Application, and Presentation layers. This approach prevents mixed responsibilities and ensures dependencies flow strictly inwards towards the Domain layer.

How do I structure domain entities and error handling in Flutter DDD?

Structure domain entities and error handling in Flutter DDD by using @freezed classes for immutability. You must implement functional error handling, mandating Either<Failure, Success> return types for repository interfaces to manage failures predictably.

What is the correct dependency flow for a Flutter layer-based architecture?

The correct dependency flow for a Flutter layer-based architecture is strictly inwards: Presentation depends on Application, which depends on Domain, while Infrastructure also depends on Domain. This inversion ensures the Domain layer remains independent of external concerns.

Does Flutter clean architecture work for complex mobile development projects?

Yes, Flutter clean architecture works for complex mobile development projects by enforcing strict DDD principles and separation of concerns. It provides a robust pattern that reduces bugs and simplifies maintenance as the application's scale grows.

How do I apply DDD standards to an existing Flutter project directory?

You apply DDD standards to an existing Flutter project by enforcing the architectural rules directly onto the project's lib directory. This governs the implementation of domain entities, infrastructure, application logic, and presentation layers.

Why does my Flutter architecture have mixed responsibilities and incorrect dependency flows?

Your Flutter architecture has mixed responsibilities because it lacks a strict layer-based clean architecture. Implementing DDD principles forces dependencies to flow inwards and separates domain logic from infrastructure and presentation concerns.
