# CLAUDE.md
This file provides guidance to Claude Code (claude.ai/code) when working with code in this repository.
## Project Overview
This is a Flutter application for phone number-based authentication. The app demonstrates a complete phone login flow with Firebase authentication, including phone number input, SMS verification, and authenticated user interfaces.
## Architecture & Structure
The application follows a layered architecture with the following key components:
- **Authentication**: Managed through Firebase Authentication with `firebase_auth` package. The `AuthState` class handles authentication state using Provider pattern.
- **Navigation**: Implemented with `go_router` for declarative routing with authentication-aware redirects.
- **State Management**: Uses `provider` package with `ChangeNotifierProvider` for global state management.
- **UI Components**: Built with Flutter's Material Design widgets and enhanced with specialized packages:
- `intl_phone_field` for international phone number input
- `pinput` for PIN input fields on SMS verification

## Flutter Development Best Practices (Based on rules.md)
### Interaction Guidelines
- **User Persona:** Assume the user is familiar with programming concepts but may be new to Dart.
- **Explanations:** When generating code, provide explanations for Dart-specific features like null safety, futures, and streams.
- **Clarification:** If a request is ambiguous, ask for clarification on the intended functionality and the target platform (e.g., command-line, web, server).
- **Dependencies:** When suggesting new dependencies from `pub.dev`, explain their benefits.
- **Formatting:** Use the `dart_format` tool to ensure consistent code formatting.
- **Fixes:** Use the `dart_fix` tool to automatically fix many common errors, and to help code conform to configured analysis options.
- **Linting:** Use the Dart linter with a recommended set of rules to catch common issues. Use the `analyze_files` tool to run the linter.
### Code Style & Architecture
- **SOLID Principles:** Apply SOLID principles throughout the codebase.
- **Concise and Declarative:** Write concise, modern, technical Dart code. Prefer functional and declarative patterns.
- **Composition over Inheritance:** Favor composition for building complex widgets and logic.
- **Immutability:** Prefer immutable data structures. Widgets (especially `StatelessWidget`) should be immutable.
- **State Management:** Separate ephemeral state and app state. Use a state management solution for app state to handle the separation of concerns.
- **Widgets are for UI:** Everything in Flutter's UI is a widget. Compose complex UIs from smaller, reusable widgets.
- **Navigation:** Use a modern routing package like `go_router`. See the navigation guide for a detailed example using `go_router`.
### Code Quality Standards
- **Code structure:** Adhere to maintainable code structure and separation of concerns (e.g., UI logic separate from business logic).
- **Naming conventions:** Avoid abbreviations and use meaningful, consistent, descriptive names for variables, functions, and classes.
- **Conciseness:** Write code that is as short as it can be while remaining clear.
- **Simplicity:** Write straightforward code. Code that is clever or obscure is difficult to maintain.
- **Error Handling:** Anticipate and handle potential errors. Don't let your code fail silently.
- **Styling:**
- Line length: Lines should be 80 characters or fewer.
- Use `PascalCase` for classes, `camelCase` for members/variables/functions/enums, and `snake_case` for files.
- **Functions:** Functions should be short and with a single purpose (strive for less than 20 lines).
### Dart Best Practices
- **Effective Dart:** Follow the official Effective Dart guidelines (https://dart.dev/effective-dart)
- **Null Safety:** Write code that is soundly null-safe. Leverage Dart's null safety features. Avoid `!` unless the value is guaranteed to be non-null.
- **Async/Await:** Ensure proper use of `async`/`await` for asynchronous operations with robust error handling.
- Use `Future`s, `async`, and `await` for asynchronous operations.
- Use `Stream`s for sequences of asynchronous events.
- **Pattern Matching:** Use pattern matching features where they simplify the code.
- **Records:** Use records to return multiple types in situations where defining an entire class is cumbersome.
- **Switch Statements:** Prefer using exhaustive `switch` statements or expressions, which don't require `break` statements.
- **Exception Handling:** Use `try-catch` blocks for handling exceptions, and use exceptions appropriate for the type of exception. Use custom exceptions for situations specific to your code.
- **Arrow Functions:** Use arrow syntax for simple one-line functions.
### Flutter Best Practices
- **Immutability:** Widgets (especially `StatelessWidget`) are immutable; when the UI needs to change, Flutter rebuilds the widget tree.
- **Composition:** Prefer composing smaller widgets over extending existing ones. Use this to avoid deep widget nesting.
- **Private Widgets:** Use small, private `Widget` classes instead of private helper methods that return a `Widget`.
- **Build Methods:** Break down large `build()` methods into smaller, reusable private Widget classes.
- **List Performance:** Use `ListView.builder` or `SliverList` for long lists to create lazy-loaded lists for performance.
- **Isolates:** Use `compute()` to run expensive calculations in a separate isolate to avoid blocking the UI thread, such as JSON parsing.
- **Const Constructors:** Use `const` constructors for widgets and in `build()` methods whenever possible to reduce rebuilds.
- **Build Method Performance:** Avoid performing expensive operations, like network calls or complex computations, directly within `build()` methods.
### Application Architecture
- **Separation of Concerns:** Aim for separation of concerns similar to MVC/MVVM, with defined Model, View, and ViewModel/Controller roles.
- **Logical Layers:** Organize the project into logical layers:
- Presentation (widgets, screens)
- Domain (business logic classes)
- Data (model classes, API clients)
- Core (shared classes, utilities, and extension types)
- **Feature-based Organization:** For larger projects, organize code by feature, where each feature has its own presentation, domain, and data subfolders. This improves navigability and scalability.
### State Management
- **Built-in Solutions:** Prefer Flutter's built-in state management solutions. Do not use a third-party package unless explicitly requested.
- **Streams:** Use `Streams` and `StreamBuilder` for handling a sequence of asynchronous events.
- **Futures:** Use `Futures` and `FutureBuilder` for handling a single asynchronous operation that will complete in the future.
- **ValueNotifier:** Use `ValueNotifier` with `ValueListenableBuilder` for simple, local state that involves a single value.
- **ChangeNotifier:** For state that is more complex or shared across multiple widgets, use `ChangeNotifier`.
- **ListenableBuilder:** Use `ListenableBuilder` to listen to changes from a `ChangeNotifier` or other `Listenable`.
- **MVVM:** When a more robust solution is needed, structure the app using the Model-View-ViewModel (MVVM) pattern.
- **Dependency Injection:** Use simple manual constructor dependency injection to make a class's dependencies explicit in its API, and to manage dependencies between different layers of the application.
- **Provider:** If a dependency injection solution beyond manual constructor injection is explicitly requested, `provider` can be used to make services, repositories, or complex state objects available to the UI layer without tight coupling.
### Lint Rules
Include the package in the `analysis_options.yaml` file. Use the following analysis_options.yaml file as a starting point:
```yaml
include: package:flutter_lints/flutter.yaml
linter:
rules:
# Add additional lint rules here:
# avoid_print: false
# prefer_single_quotes: true
```
### Testing
- **Running Tests:** To run tests, use the `run_tests` tool if it is available, otherwise use `flutter test`.
- **Unit Tests:** Use `package:test` for unit tests.
- **Widget Tests:** Use `package:flutter_test` for widget tests.
- **Integration Tests:** Use `package:integration_test` for integration tests.
- **Assertions:** Prefer using `package:checks` for more expressive and readable assertions over the default `matchers`.
#### Testing Best practices
- **Convention:** Follow the Arrange-Act-Assert (or Given-When-Then) pattern.
- **Unit Tests:** Write unit tests for domain logic, data layer, and state management.
- **Widget Tests:** Write widget tests for UI components.
- **Integration Tests:** For broader application validation, use integration tests to verify end-to-end user flows.
- **integration_test package:** Use the `integration_test` package from the Flutter SDK for integration tests. Add it as a `dev_dependency` in `pubspec.yaml` by specifying `sdk: flutter`.
- **Mocks:** Prefer fakes or stubs over mocks. If mocks are absolutely necessary, use `mockito` or `mocktail` to create mocks for dependencies. While code generation is common for state management (e.g., with `freezed`), try to avoid it for mocks.
- **Coverage:** Aim for high test coverage.
### Visual Design & Theming
- **UI Design:** Build beautiful and intuitive user interfaces that follow modern design guidelines.
- **Responsiveness:** Ensure the app is mobile responsive and adapts to different screen sizes, working perfectly on mobile and web.
- **Navigation:** If there are multiple pages for the user to interact with, provide an intuitive and easy navigation bar or controls.
- **Typography:** Stress and emphasize font sizes to ease understanding, e.g., hero text, section headlines, list headlines, keywords in paragraphs.
- **Theming:** Implement support for both light and dark themes, ideal for a user-facing theme toggle (`ThemeMode.light`, `ThemeMode.dark`, `ThemeMode.system`).
### Code Generation
- **Build Runner:** If the project uses code generation, ensure that `build_runner` is listed as a dev dependency in `pubspec.yaml`.
- **Code Generation Tasks:** Use `build_runner` for all code generation tasks, such as for `json_serializable`.
- **Running Build Runner:** After modifying files that require code generation, run the build command:
```shell
dart run build_runner build --delete-conflicting-outputs
```
## Important Notes
- Authentication flow is implemented using Firebase phone authentication
- The router includes redirect logic based on authentication state
- UI adapts based on login status (logged in/out views)
- Phone input includes international country codes
- SMS verification screen accepts 6-digit PIN codes

* **SOLID Principles:** Apply SOLID principles throughout the codebase.
* **Concise and Declarative:** Write concise, modern, technical Dart code.
Prefer functional and declarative patterns.
* **Composition over Inheritance:** Favor composition for building complex
widgets and logic.
* **Immutability:** Prefer immutable data structures. Widgets (especially
`StatelessWidget`) should be immutable.
* **State Management:** Separate ephemeral state and app state. Use a state
management solution for app state to handle the separation of concerns.
* **Widgets are for UI:** Everything in Flutter's UI is a widget. Compose
complex UIs from smaller, reusable widgets.
* **Navigation:** Use a modern routing package like `auto_route` or `go_router`.
See the [navigation guide](./navigation.md) for a detailed example using
`go_router`.
## Package Management
* **Pub Tool:** To manage packages, use the `pub` tool, if available.
* **External Packages:** If a new feature requires an external package, use the
`pub_dev_search` tool, if it is available. Otherwise, identify the most
suitable and stable package from pub.dev.
* **Adding Dependencies:** To add a regular dependency, use the `pub` tool, if
it is available. Otherwise, run `flutter pub add <package_name>`.
* **Adding Dev Dependencies:** To add a development dependency, use the `pub`
tool, if it is available, with `dev:<package name>`. Otherwise, run `flutter
pub add dev:<package_name>`.
* **Dependency Overrides:** To add a dependency override, use the `pub` tool, if
it is available, with `override:<package name>:1.0.0`. Otherwise, run `flutter
pub add override:<package_name>:1.0.0`.
* **Removing Dependencies:** To remove a dependency, use the `pub` tool, if it
is available. Otherwise, run `dart pub remove <package_name>`.
## Code Quality
* **Code structure:** Adhere to maintainable code structure and separation of
concerns (e.g., UI logic separate from business logic).
* **Naming conventions:** Avoid abbreviations and use meaningful, consistent,
descriptive names for variables, functions, and classes.
* **Conciseness:** Write code that is as short as it can be while remaining
clear.
* **Simplicity:** Write straightforward code. Code that is clever or
obscure is difficult to maintain.
* **Error Handling:** Anticipate and handle potential errors. Don't let your
code fail silently.
* **Styling:**
* Line length: Lines should be 80 characters or fewer.
* Use `PascalCase` for classes, `camelCase` for
members/variables/functions/enums, and `snake_case` for files.
* **Functions:**
* Functions short and with a single purpose (strive for less than 20 lines).
* **Testing:** Write code with testing in mind. Use the `file`, `process`, and
`platform` packages, if appropriate, so you can inject in-memory and fake
versions of the objects.
* **Logging:** Use the `logging` package instead of `print`.
## Dart Best Practices
* **Effective Dart:** Follow the official Effective Dart guidelines
(https://dart.dev/effective-dart)
* **Class Organization:** Define related classes within the same library file.
For large libraries, export smaller, private libraries from a single top-level
library.
* **Library Organization:** Group related libraries in the same folder.
* **API Documentation:** Add documentation comments to all public APIs,
including classes, constructors, methods, and top-level functions.
* **Comments:** Write clear comments for complex or non-obvious code. Avoid
over-commenting.
* **Trailing Comments:** Don't add trailing comments.
* **Async/Await:** Ensure proper use of `async`/`await` for asynchronous
operations with robust error handling.
* Use `Future`s, `async`, and `await` for asynchronous operations.
* Use `Stream`s for sequences of asynchronous events.
* **Null Safety:** Write code that is soundly null-safe. Leverage Dart's null
safety features. Avoid `!` unless the value is guaranteed to be non-null.
* **Pattern Matching:** Use pattern matching features where they simplify the
code.
* **Records:** Use records to return multiple types in situations where defining
an entire class is cumbersome.
* **Switch Statements:** Prefer using exhaustive `switch` statements or
expressions, which don't require `break` statements.
* **Exception Handling:** Use `try-catch` blocks for handling exceptions, and
use exceptions appropriate for the type of exception. Use custom exceptions
for situations specific to your code.
* **Arrow Functions:** Use arrow syntax for simple one-line functions.
## Flutter Best Practices
* **Immutability:** Widgets (especially `StatelessWidget`) are immutable; when
the UI needs to change, Flutter rebuilds the widget tree.
* **Composition:** Prefer composing smaller widgets over extending existing
ones. Use this to avoid deep widget nesting.
* **Private Widgets:** Use small, private `Widget` classes instead of private
helper methods that return a `Widget`.
* **Build Methods:** Break down large `build()` methods into smaller, reusable
private Widget classes.
* **List Performance:** Use `ListView.builder` or `SliverList` for long lists to
create lazy-loaded lists for performance.
* **Isolates:** Use `compute()` to run expensive calculations in a separate
isolate to avoid blocking the UI thread, such as JSON parsing.
* **Const Constructors:** Use `const` constructors for widgets and in `build()`
methods whenever possible to reduce rebuilds.
* **Build Method Performance:** Avoid performing expensive operations, like
network calls or complex computations, directly within `build()` methods.
## API Design Principles
When building reusable APIs, such as a library, follow these principles.
* **Consider the User:** Design APIs from the perspective of the person who will
be using them. The API should be intuitive and easy to use correctly.
* **Documentation is Essential:** Good documentation is a part of good API
design. It should be clear, concise, and provide examples.
## Application Architecture
* **Separation of Concerns:** Aim for separation of concerns similar to MVC/MVVM, with defined Model,
View, and ViewModel/Controller roles.
* **Logical Layers:** Organize the project into logical layers:
* Presentation (widgets, screens)
* Domain (business logic classes)
* Data (model classes, API clients)
* Core (shared classes, utilities, and extension types)
* **Feature-based Organization:** For larger projects, organize code by feature,
where each feature has its own presentation, domain, and data subfolders. This
improves navigability and scalability.
## Lint Rules
Include the package in the `analysis_options.yaml` file. Use the following
analysis_options.yaml file as a starting point:
```yaml
include: package:flutter_lints/flutter.yaml
linter:
rules:
# Add additional lint rules here:
# avoid_print: false
# prefer_single_quotes: true
```
### State Management
* **Built-in Solutions:** Prefer Flutter's built-in state management solutions.
Do not use a third-party package unless explicitly requested.
* **Streams:** Use `Streams` and `StreamBuilder` for handling a sequence of
asynchronous events.
* **Futures:** Use `Futures` and `FutureBuilder` for handling a single
asynchronous operation that will complete in the future.
* **ValueNotifier:** Use `ValueNotifier` with `ValueListenableBuilder` for
simple, local state that involves a single value.
```dart
// Define a ValueNotifier to hold the state.
final ValueNotifier<int> _counter = ValueNotifier<int>(0);
// Use ValueListenableBuilder to listen and rebuild.
ValueListenableBuilder<int>(
valueListenable: _counter,
builder: (context, value, child) {
return Text('Count: $value');
},
);
```
* **ChangeNotifier:** For state that is more complex or shared across multiple
widgets, use `ChangeNotifier`.
* **ListenableBuilder:** Use `ListenableBuilder` to listen to changes from a
`ChangeNotifier` or other `Listenable`.
* **MVVM:** When a more robust solution is needed, structure the app using the
Model-View-ViewModel (MVVM) pattern.
* **Dependency Injection:** Use simple manual constructor dependency injection
to make a class's dependencies explicit in its API, and to manage dependencies
between different layers of the application.
* **Provider:** If a dependency injection solution beyond manual constructor
injection is explicitly requested, `provider` can be used to make services,
repositories, or complex state objects available to the UI layer without tight
coupling (note: this document generally defaults against third-party packages
for state management unless explicitly requested).
### Data Flow
* **Data Structures:** Define data structures (classes) to represent the data
used in the application.
* **Data Abstraction:** Abstract data sources (e.g., API calls, database
operations) using Repositories/Services to promote testability.
### Routing
* **GoRouter:** Use the `go_router` package for declarative navigation, deep
linking, and web support.
* **GoRouter Setup:** To use `go_router`, first add it to your `pubspec.yaml`
using the `pub` tool's `add` command.
```dart
// 1. Add the dependency
// flutter pub add go_router
// 2. Configure the router
final GoRouter _router = GoRouter(
routes: <RouteBase>[
GoRoute(
path: '/',
builder: (context, state) => const HomeScreen(),
routes: <RouteBase>[
GoRoute(
path: 'details/:id', // Route with a path parameter
builder: (context, state) {
final String id = state.pathParameters['id']!;
return DetailScreen(id: id);
},
),
],
),
],
);
// 3. Use it in your MaterialApp
MaterialApp.router(
routerConfig: _router,
);
```
* **Authentication Redirects:** Configure `go_router`'s `redirect` property to
handle authentication flows, ensuring users are redirected to the login screen
when unauthorized, and back to their intended destination after successful
login.
* **Navigator:** Use the built-in `Navigator` for short-lived screens that do
not need to be deep-linkable, such as dialogs or temporary views.
```dart
// Push a new screen onto the stack
Navigator.push(
context,
MaterialPageRoute(builder: (context) => const DetailsScreen()),
);
// Pop the current screen to go back
Navigator.pop(context);
```
### Data Handling & Serialization
* **JSON Serialization:** Use `json_serializable` and `json_annotation` for
parsing and encoding JSON data.
* **Field Renaming:** When encoding data, use `fieldRename: FieldRename.snake`
to convert Dart's camelCase fields to snake_case JSON keys.
```dart
// In your model file
import 'package:json_annotation/json_annotation.dart';
part 'user.g.dart';
@JsonSerializable(fieldRename: FieldRename.snake)
class User {
final String firstName;
final String lastName;
User({required this.firstName, required this.lastName});
factory User.fromJson(Map<String, dynamic> json) => _$UserFromJson(json);
Map<String, dynamic> toJson() => _$UserToJson(this);
}
```
### Logging
* **Structured Logging:** Use the `log` function from `dart:developer` for
structured logging that integrates with Dart DevTools.
```dart
import 'dart:developer' as developer;
// For simple messages
developer.log('User logged in successfully.');
// For structured error logging
try {
// ... code that might fail
} catch (e, s) {
developer.log(
'Failed to fetch data',
name: 'myapp.network',
level: 1000, // SEVERE
error: e,
stackTrace: s,
);
}
```
## Code Generation
* **Build Runner:** If the project uses code generation, ensure that
`build_runner` is listed as a dev dependency in `pubspec.yaml`.
* **Code Generation Tasks:** Use `build_runner` for all code generation tasks,
such as for `json_serializable`.
* **Running Build Runner:** After modifying files that require code generation,
run the build command:
```shell
dart run build_runner build --delete-conflicting-outputs
```
## Testing
* **Running Tests:** To run tests, use the `run_tests` tool if it is available,
otherwise use `flutter test`.
* **Unit Tests:** Use `package:test` for unit tests.
* **Widget Tests:** Use `package:flutter_test` for widget tests.
* **Integration Tests:** Use `package:integration_test` for integration tests.
* **Assertions:** Prefer using `package:checks` for more expressive and readable
assertions over the default `matchers`.
### Testing Best practices
* **Convention:** Follow the Arrange-Act-Assert (or Given-When-Then) pattern.
* **Unit Tests:** Write unit tests for domain logic, data layer, and state
management.
* **Widget Tests:** Write widget tests for UI components.
* **Integration Tests:** For broader application validation, use integration
tests to verify end-to-end user flows.
* **integration_test package:** Use the `integration_test` package from the
Flutter SDK for integration tests. Add it as a `dev_dependency` in
`pubspec.yaml` by specifying `sdk: flutter`.
* **Mocks:** Prefer fakes or stubs over mocks. If mocks are absolutely
necessary, use `mockito` or `mocktail` to create mocks for dependencies. While
code generation is common for state management (e.g., with `freezed`), try to
avoid it for mocks.
* **Coverage:** Aim for high test coverage.
## Visual Design & Theming
* **UI Design:** Build beautiful and intuitive user interfaces that follow
modern design guidelines.
* **Responsiveness:** Ensure the app is mobile responsive and adapts to
different screen sizes, working perfectly on mobile and web.
* **Navigation:** If there are multiple pages for the user to interact with,
provide an intuitive and easy navigation bar or controls.
* **Typography:** Stress and emphasize font sizes to ease understanding, e.g.,
hero text, section headlines, list headlines, keywords in paragraphs.
* **Background:** Apply subtle noise texture to the main background to add a
premium, tactile feel.
* **Shadows:** Multi-layered drop shadows create a strong sense of depth; cards
have a soft, deep shadow to look "lifted."
* **Icons:** Incorporate icons to enhance the users understanding and the
logical navigation of the app.
* **Interactive Elements:** Buttons, checkboxes, sliders, lists, charts, graphs,
and other interactive elements have a shadow with elegant use of color to
create a "glow" effect.
### Theming
* **Centralized Theme:** Define a centralized `ThemeData` object to ensure a
consistent application-wide style.
* **Light and Dark Themes:** Implement support for both light and dark themes,
ideal for a user-facing theme toggle (`ThemeMode.light`, `ThemeMode.dark`,
`ThemeMode.system`).
* **Color Scheme Generation:** Generate harmonious color palettes from a single
color using `ColorScheme.fromSeed`.
```dart
final ThemeData lightTheme = ThemeData(
colorScheme: ColorScheme.fromSeed(
seedColor: Colors.deepPurple,
brightness: Brightness.light,
),
// ... other theme properties
);
```
* **Color Palette:** Include a wide range of color concentrations and hues in
the palette to create a vibrant and energetic look and feel.
* **Component Themes:** Use specific theme properties (e.g., `appBarTheme`,
`elevatedButtonTheme`) to customize the appearance of individual Material
components.
* **Custom Fonts:** For custom fonts, use the `google_fonts` package. Define a
`TextTheme` to apply fonts consistently.
```dart
// 1. Add the dependency
// flutter pub add google_fonts
// 2. Define a TextTheme with a custom font
final TextTheme appTextTheme = TextTheme(
displayLarge: GoogleFonts.oswald(fontSize: 57, fontWeight: FontWeight.bold),
titleLarge: GoogleFonts.roboto(fontSize: 22, fontWeight: FontWeight.w500),
bodyMedium: GoogleFonts.openSans(fontSize: 14),
);
```
### Assets and Images
* **Image Guidelines:** If images are needed, make them relevant and meaningful,
with appropriate size, layout, and licensing (e.g., freely available). Provide
placeholder images if real ones are not available.
* **Asset Declaration:** Declare all asset paths in your `pubspec.yaml` file.
```yaml
flutter:
uses-material-design: true
assets:
- assets/images/
```
* **Local Images:** Use `Image.asset` for local images from your asset
bundle.
```dart
Image.asset('assets/images/placeholder.png')
```
* **Network images:** Use NetworkImage for images loaded from the network.
* **Cached images:** For cached images, use NetworkImage a package like
`cached_network_image`.
* **Custom Icons:** Use `ImageIcon` to display an icon from an `ImageProvider`,
useful for custom icons not in the `Icons` class.
* **Network Images:** Use `Image.network` to display images from a URL, and
always include `loadingBuilder` and `errorBuilder` for a better user
experience.
```dart
Image.network(
'https://picsum.photos/200/300',
loadingBuilder: (context, child, progress) {
if (progress == null) return child;
return const Center(child: CircularProgressIndicator());
},
errorBuilder: (context, error, stackTrace) {
return const Icon(Icons.error);
},
)
```
## UI Theming and Styling Code
* **Responsiveness:** Use `LayoutBuilder` or `MediaQuery` to create responsive
UIs.
* **Text:** Use `Theme.of(context).textTheme` for text styles.
* **Text Fields:** Configure `textCapitalization`, `keyboardType`, and
* **Responsiveness:** Use `LayoutBuilder` or `MediaQuery` to create responsive
UIs.
* **Text:** Use `Theme.of(context).textTheme` for text styles.
remote images.
```dart
// When using network images, always provide an errorBuilder.
Image.network(
'https://example.com/image.png',
errorBuilder: (context, error, stackTrace) {
return const Icon(Icons.error); // Show an error icon
},
);
```
## Material Theming Best Practices
### Embrace `ThemeData` and Material 3
* **Use `ColorScheme.fromSeed()`:** Use this to generate a complete, harmonious
color palette for both light and dark modes from a single seed color.
* **Define Light and Dark Themes:** Provide both `theme` and `darkTheme` to your
`MaterialApp` to support system brightness settings seamlessly.
* **Centralize Component Styles:** Customize specific component themes (e.g.,
`elevatedButtonTheme`, `cardTheme`, `appBarTheme`) within `ThemeData` to
ensure consistency.
* **Dark/Light Mode and Theme Toggle:** Implement support for both light and
dark themes using `theme` and `darkTheme` properties of `MaterialApp`. The
`themeMode` property can be dynamically controlled (e.g., via a
`ChangeNotifierProvider`) to allow for toggling between `ThemeMode.light`,
`ThemeMode.dark`, or `ThemeMode.system`.
```dart
// main.dart
MaterialApp(
theme: ThemeData(
colorScheme: ColorScheme.fromSeed(
seedColor: Colors.deepPurple,
brightness: Brightness.light,
),
textTheme: const TextTheme(
displayLarge: TextStyle(fontSize: 57.0, fontWeight: FontWeight.bold),
bodyMedium: TextStyle(fontSize: 14.0, height: 1.4),
),
),
darkTheme: ThemeData(
colorScheme: ColorScheme.fromSeed(
seedColor: Colors.deepPurple,
brightness: Brightness.dark,
),
),
home: const MyHomePage(),
);
```
### Implement Design Tokens with `ThemeExtension`
For custom styles that aren't part of the standard `ThemeData`, use
`ThemeExtension` to define reusable design tokens.
* **Create a Custom Theme Extension:** Define a class that extends
`ThemeExtension<T>` and include your custom properties.
* **Implement `copyWith` and `lerp`:** These methods are required for the
extension to work correctly with theme transitions.
* **Register in `ThemeData`:** Add your custom extension to the `extensions`
list in your `ThemeData`.
* **Access Tokens in Widgets:** Use `Theme.of(context).extension<MyColors>()!`
to access your custom tokens.
```dart
// 1. Define the extension
@immutable
class MyColors extends ThemeExtension<MyColors> {
const MyColors({required this.success, required this.danger});
final Color? success;
final Color? danger;
@override
ThemeExtension<MyColors> copyWith({Color? success, Color? danger}) {
return MyColors(success: success ?? this.success, danger: danger ?? this.danger);
}
@override
ThemeExtension<MyColors> lerp(ThemeExtension<MyColors>? other, double t) {
if (other is! MyColors) return this;
return MyColors(
success: Color.lerp(success, other.success, t),
danger: Color.lerp(danger, other.danger, t),
);
}
}
// 2. Register it in ThemeData
theme: ThemeData(
extensions: const <ThemeExtension<dynamic>>[
MyColors(success: Colors.green, danger: Colors.red),
],
),
// 3. Use it in a widget
Container(
color: Theme.of(context).extension<MyColors>()!.success,
)
```
### Styling with `WidgetStateProperty`
* **`WidgetStateProperty.resolveWith`:** Provide a function that receives a
`Set<WidgetState>` and returns the appropriate value for the current state.
* **`WidgetStateProperty.all`:** A shorthand for when the value is the same for
all states.
```dart
// Example: Creating a button style that changes color when pressed.
final ButtonStyle myButtonStyle = ButtonStyle(
backgroundColor: WidgetStateProperty.resolveWith<Color>(
(Set<WidgetState> states) {
if (states.contains(WidgetState.pressed)) {
return Colors.green; // Color when pressed
}
return Colors.red; // Default color
},
),
);
```
## Layout Best Practices
### Building Flexible and Overflow-Safe Layouts
#### For Rows and Columns
* **`Expanded`:** Use to make a child widget fill the remaining available space
along the main axis.
* **`Flexible`:** Use when you want a widget to shrink to fit, but not
necessarily grow. Don't combine `Flexible` and `Expanded` in the same `Row` or
`Column`.
* **`Wrap`:** Use when you have a series of widgets that would overflow a `Row`
or `Column`, and you want them to move to the next line.
#### For General Content
* **`SingleChildScrollView`:** Use when your content is intrinsically larger
than the viewport, but is a fixed size.
* **`ListView` / `GridView`:** For long lists or grids of content, always use a
builder constructor (`.builder`).
* **`FittedBox`:** Use to scale or fit a single child widget within its parent.
* **`LayoutBuilder`:** Use for complex, responsive layouts to make decisions
based on the available space.
### Layering Widgets with Stack
* **`Positioned`:** Use to precisely place a child within a `Stack` by anchoring it to the edges.
* **`Align`:** Use to position a child within a `Stack` using alignments like `Alignment.center`.
### Advanced Layout with Overlays
* **`OverlayPortal`:** Use this widget to show UI elements (like custom
dropdowns or tooltips) "on top" of everything else. It manages the
`OverlayEntry` for you.
```dart
class MyDropdown extends StatefulWidget {
const MyDropdown({super.key});
@override
State<MyDropdown> createState() => _MyDropdownState();
}
class _MyDropdownState extends State<MyDropdown> {
final _controller = OverlayPortalController();
@override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
return OverlayPortal(
controller: _controller,
overlayChildBuilder: (BuildContext context) {
return const Positioned(
top: 50,
left: 10,
child: Card(
child: Padding(
padding: EdgeInsets.all(8.0),
child: Text('I am an overlay!'),
),
),
);
},
child: ElevatedButton(
onPressed: _controller.toggle,
child: const Text('Toggle Overlay'),
),
);
}
}
```
## Color Scheme Best Practices
### Contrast Ratios
* **WCAG Guidelines:** Aim to meet the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines
(WCAG) 2.1 standards.
* **Minimum Contrast:**
* **Normal Text:** A contrast ratio of at least **4.5:1**.
* **Large Text:** (18pt or 14pt bold) A contrast ratio of at least **3:1**.
### Palette Selection
* **Primary, Secondary, and Accent:** Define a clear color hierarchy.
* **The 60-30-10 Rule:** A classic design rule for creating a balanced color scheme.
* **60%** Primary/Neutral Color (Dominant)
* **30%** Secondary Color
* **10%** Accent Color
### Complementary Colors
* **Use with Caution:** They can be visually jarring if overused.
* **Best Use Cases:** They are excellent for accent colors to make specific
elements pop, but generally poor for text and background pairings as they can
cause eye strain.
### Example Palette
* **Primary:** #0D47A1 (Dark Blue)
* **Secondary:** #1976D2 (Medium Blue)
* **Accent:** #FFC107 (Amber)
* **Neutral/Text:** #212121 (Almost Black)
* **Background:** #FEFEFE (Almost White)
## Font Best Practices
### Font Selection
* **Limit Font Families:** Stick to one or two font families for the entire
application.
* **Prioritize Legibility:** Choose fonts that are easy to read on screens of
all sizes. Sans-serif fonts are generally preferred for UI body text.
* **System Fonts:** Consider using platform-native system fonts.
* **Google Fonts:** For a wide selection of open-source fonts, use the
`google_fonts` package.
### Hierarchy and Scale
* **Establish a Scale:** Define a set of font sizes for different text elements
(e.g., headlines, titles, body text, captions).
* **Use Font Weight:** Differentiate text effectively using font weights.
* **Color and Opacity:** Use color and opacity to de-emphasize less important
text.
### Readability
* **Line Height (Leading):** Set an appropriate line height, typically **1.4x to
1.6x** the font size.
* **Line Length:** For body text, aim for a line length of **45-75 characters**.
* **Avoid All Caps:** Do not use all caps for long-form text.
### Example Typographic Scale
```dart
// In your ThemeData
textTheme: const TextTheme(
displayLarge: TextStyle(fontSize: 57.0, fontWeight: FontWeight.bold),
titleLarge: TextStyle(fontSize: 22.0, fontWeight: FontWeight.bold),
bodyLarge: TextStyle(fontSize: 16.0, height: 1.5),
bodyMedium: TextStyle(fontSize: 14.0, height: 1.4),
labelSmall: TextStyle(fontSize: 11.0, color: Colors.grey),
),
```
## Documentation
* **`dartdoc`:** Write `dartdoc`-style comments for all public APIs.
### Documentation Philosophy
* **Comment wisely:** Use comments to explain why the code is written a certain
way, not what the code does. The code itself should be self-explanatory.
* **Document for the user:** Write documentation with the reader in mind. If you
had a question and found the answer, add it to the documentation where you
first looked. This ensures the documentation answers real-world questions.
* **No useless documentation:** If the documentation only restates the obvious
from the code's name, it's not helpful. Good documentation provides context
and explains what isn't immediately apparent.
* **Consistency is key:** Use consistent terminology throughout your
documentation.
### Commenting Style
* **Use `///` for doc comments:** This allows documentation generation tools to
pick them up.
* **Start with a single-sentence summary:** The first sentence should be a
concise, user-centric summary ending with a period.
* **Separate the summary:** Add a blank line after the first sentence to create
a separate paragraph. This helps tools create better summaries.
* **Avoid redundancy:** Don't repeat information that's obvious from the code's
context, like the class name or signature.
* **Don't document both getter and setter:** For properties with both, only
document one. The documentation tool will treat them as a single field.
### Writing Style
* **Be brief:** Write concisely.
* **Avoid jargon and acronyms:** Don't use abbreviations unless they are widely
understood.
* **Use Markdown sparingly:** Avoid excessive markdown and never use HTML for
formatting.
* **Use backticks for code:** Enclose code blocks in backtick fences, and
specify the language.
### What to Document
* **Public APIs are a priority:** Always document public APIs.
* **Consider private APIs:** It's a good idea to document private APIs as well.
* **Library-level comments are helpful:** Consider adding a doc comment at the
library level to provide a general overview.
* **Include code samples:** Where appropriate, add code samples to illustrate usage.
* **Explain parameters, return values, and exceptions:** Use prose to describe
what a function expects, what it returns, and what errors it might throw.
* **Place doc comments before annotations:** Documentation should come before
any metadata annotations.
## Accessibility (A11Y)
Implement accessibility features to empower all users, assuming a wide variety
of users with different physical abilities, mental abilities, age groups,
education levels, and learning styles.
* **Color Contrast:** Ensure text has a contrast ratio of at least **4.5:1**
against its background.
* **Dynamic Text Scaling:** Test your UI to ensure it remains usable when users
increase the system font size.
* **Semantic Labels:** Use the `Semantics` widget to provide clear, descriptive
labels for UI elements.
* **Screen Reader Testing:** Regularly test your app with TalkBack (Android) and
VoiceOver (iOS).
