Blueprint Application - Flutter MVVM+DDD Architecture Template

🎯 Overview

This is a comprehensive Flutter application template implementing MVVM (Model-View-ViewModel) architecture with Domain-Driven Design (DDD) principles. The template is designed to be flexible, modular, and maintainable, with clear separation of concerns for efficient team collaboration.

🏗️ Architecture

Core Principles

• Clean Architecture: Clear separation between domain, data, and presentation layers
• MVVM Pattern: Model-View-ViewModel for reactive UI management
• Domain-Driven Design: Business logic encapsulation and value objects
• Modular Structure: Each feature has its own complete module
• Dependency Injection: Service locator pattern with GetIt
• Complex Routing: Advanced deeplink support with go_router

🏃‍♂️ Getting Started

1. Clone & Setup

git clone <repository>
cd blueprint_application
flutter pub get

2. Generate Code

flutter packages pub run build_runner build

3. Run the Application

flutter run

🎭 Usage Examples

Adding a New Feature

1. Create Feature Structure

mkdir -p lib/features/[feature_name]/{domain,data,application,presentation}/{entities,repositories,models,datasources,usecases,viewmodels,views,routes}

2. Define Domain Layer

// Domain Entity
class Product {
  final String id;
  final String name;
  final Price price;

  const Product({
    required this.id,
    required this.name,
    required this.price,
  });
}

// Value Object
class Price {
  final double value;
  final String currency;

  const Price({required this.value, required this.currency});

  bool get isValid => value > 0;
}

3. Implement Repository Interface

abstract class ProductRepository {
  Future<Result<List<Product>>> getProducts();
  Future<Result<Product>> getProduct(String id);
  Future<Result<void>> createProduct(Product product);
}

4. Create Use Cases

class GetProductsUseCase {
  final ProductRepository repository;

  GetProductsUseCase(this.repository);

  Future<Result<List<Product>>> call() async {
    return await repository.getProducts();
  }
}

5. Build ViewModel

class ProductViewModel extends ChangeNotifier {
  final GetProductsUseCase getProductsUseCase;

  ProductViewModel({required this.getProductsUseCase});

  List<Product> _products = [];
  bool _isLoading = false;
  String? _error;

  List<Product> get products => _products;
  bool get isLoading => _isLoading;
  String? get error => _error;

  Future<void> loadProducts() async {
    _isLoading = true;
    _error = null;
    notifyListeners();

    final result = await getProductsUseCase();

    result.when(
      success: (products) {
        _products = products;
        _isLoading = false;
        notifyListeners();
      },
      failure: (error) {
        _error = error.toString();
        _isLoading = false;
        notifyListeners();
      },
    );
  }
}

Complex Routing Examples

// Navigate to blog post with date-based URL
AppRouter.goToBlogPost(
  year: '2024',
  month: '01',
  day: '15',
  slug: 'flutter-architecture-guide',
  preview: true,
);

// Navigate to event booking with query parameters
AppRouter.goToEventBooking(
  'event-123',
  step: 'payment',
  coupon: 'SAVE20',
);

// Navigate to user profile with specific tab
AppRouter.goToProfile('user-456', tab: 'posts');
