Building Flutter Projects with DDD Clean Architecture: A Series on Separation of Concerns and State Management.
Introduction
Flutter is a popular open-source development framework that has risen to the top as one of the first choices when looking to build cross-platform applications. It offers a wide range of tools and features that help developers create robust, high-performance mobile applications for both Android, iOS and Web platforms.
This series is aimed toward Flutter developers with intermediate-level skills in Dart and the Flutter framework, who are probably familiar with the importance of separation of concerns and state management in building efficient and maintainable applications.
In this series of articles, we will delve into the concept of Domain-Driven Design (DDD) Clean Architecture and explore how it can be used to build Flutter projects that are modular, scalable, and easy to maintain. We will explore the various layers of Clean Architecture and their roles in ensuring separation of concerns and efficient state management. By the end of this series, you will have a solid understanding of how to implement Clean Architecture in your Flutter projects and how it can help you build high-quality mobile applications.
Throughout this series, we will use a variety of packages to implement the concepts of Domain-Driven Design (DDD) Clean Architecture in our Flutter projects. One of the packages we will be using is flutter_bloc, which is a state management library that helps us implement the Business Logic Component (BLoC) pattern. We will combine flutter_bloc with provider to achieve efficient state management in our applications.
In addition to flutter_bloc and provider, we will also be using get_it and injectable for dependency injection in our projects. Dependency injection is a key concept in Clean Architecture, and these packages make it easy to manage dependencies and ensure that our code is modular and testable.
We will also be using dartz, which is a functional programming library for Dart that provides a set of tools and abstractions to help us write cleaner, more concise code. With dartz, we can implement concepts like monads, functors, and applicatives to handle error handling, asynchronous operations, and more.
Throughout this series, we will introduce and utilize several other packages that will help us build efficient and maintainable Flutter applications using the principles of DDD Clean Architecture.
