Idiomatic Flutter
Priority: P1 (OPERATIONAL)
Modern Flutter layout patterns and composition techniques.
- •Async Gaps: Check
if (context.mounted)before usingBuildContextafterawait. - •Composition: Extract complex UI into small widgets. Avoid deep nesting or large helper methods.
- •Layout:
- •Spacing: Use
Gap(n)orSizedBoxoverPaddingfor simple gaps. - •Empty UI: Use
const SizedBox.shrink(). - •Intrinsic: Avoid
IntrinsicWidth/Height; useStack+FractionallySizedBoxfor overlays.
- •Spacing: Use
- •Optimization: Use
ColoredBox/Padding/DecoratedBoxinstead ofContainerwhen possible. - •Themes: Use extensions for
Theme.of(context)access.
🚫 Anti-Patterns
- •Missing Mounted Check:
**No context usage after await**: Always check if (context.mounted). - •Helper Methods for UI:
**No Widget functions**: Use specialized Widget classes for better performance/profiling. - •Direct Controller Access:
**No UI-Logic coupling**: Use BLoC/Signals to decouple UI from State.
