Flutter Project Structure

This document is the entry point into the Flutter Guide.
It defines how to organize a DartWay Flutter application and connects to more detailed guides:

🎯 Core Principles​

  • Feature-based → everything is split into small, isolated features.
  • Minimal boilerplate → no abstractions just for the sake of architecture.
  • Generic data layer → no repositories, no manual sync, everything goes through DartWay data layer.
  • AI-friendly → the structure is optimized for assistants (Cursor, ChatGPT).

📂 Recommended Project Layout​

lib/
├─ admin/       # Features for admin panel
├─ app/         # Main application features
│ ├─ home/
│ │ ├─ home_page/
│ │ ├─ promotion_block/
│ │ └─ ...
│ ├─ profile/
│ └─ ...
├─ auth/        # Authentication (login, signup, tokens)
├─ common/      # Shared utilities, configs, navigation
├─ core/        # Global configuration (router, providers, services)
├─ domain/      # Business logic on top of models (shared, cross-feature)
├─ ui_kit/      # Unified entry point for design system
│   └─ ui_kit.dart
├─ build_info.dart # build configuration vars (generated automatically)
└─ main.dart    # App entry point

👉 For large apps, you may create multiple app_* modules (e.g. /app_orders, /app_chat) — the same rules apply.

📦 Features​

Every feature is a small, self-contained folder with:

  • Entry Point → exactly one public file (page, widget, or context extension).
  • Widgets → UI parts for layout and interactions.
  • Logic → local providers, enums, helpers (scoped to this feature).
  • Domain Extensions → cross-feature business logic belongs in /domain, never inside features.
  • UI Kit → all styling and reusable visuals come only from ui_kit.dart.

👉 For details and examples, see Feature Architecture.

🎨 UI Kit​

  • UI Kit is the only allowed source of styles.
  • Inside app/, auth/, common/ you must not use directly:
    Color, TextStyle, BorderRadius, context.textTheme, context.colorScheme.
  • All features import only ui_kit.dart.

👉 See UI Kit Guide.

🧭 Navigation​

  • Routes are defined with NavigationZoneRoute enums.
  • Use context extensions (context.goTo, context.pushTo).
  • Redirects and guards are configured centrally in router.

👉 See Navigation Guide.

🧪 Tests​

  • Every feature must include tests:
    • Widget tests for pages and components.
    • Provider tests for logic.
  • Place them in /test/feature_name/....

Tests ensure stability and make AI-generated code safer to adopt.

📈 Scaling the Project​

  • Keep features small. If a widget grows into a mini-flow, extract it as its own feature.
  • For large domains, split into app_* modules while keeping the same folder rules.
  • Domain logic must always remain in /domain, never spread across features.
  • All visuals remain in /ui_kit, ensuring consistent design.

✅ Key Takeaways​

  • Start from this structure in every DartWay Flutter project.
  • Features are the building blocks — each with one public entry point.
  • Styling = UI Kit, business logic = Domain, navigation = Router.
  • Tests are mandatory.
  • Follow this consistently → predictable, maintainable, AI-friendly apps.
