# Krow Mobile Client App Architecture Document
## A. Introduction
This document provides a comprehensive overview of the Krow mobile client application's architecture. The Krow app is a Flutter-based mobile application designed to connect staff with work opportunities. It includes features for event management, invoicing, staff rating, and profile management.
The core purpose of the app is to provide a seamless experience for staff to find, manage, and get paid for work, while allowing clients to manage their events and staff effectively.
## B. Full Architecture Overview
The Krow app is built using a layered architecture that separates concerns and promotes modularity. The main layers are the **Presentation Layer**, the **Domain Layer**, and the **Data Layer**, organized into feature-based modules.
### Key Modules and Layers
* **Features:** The `lib/features` directory contains the main features of the app, such as `sign_in`, `events`, `profile`, etc. Each feature directory is further divided into `presentation` and `domain` layers.
* **Presentation Layer:** This layer is responsible for the UI and user interaction. It contains the screens (widgets) and the BLoCs (Business Logic Components) that manage the state of the UI.
* **Domain Layer:** This layer contains the core business logic of the application. It includes the BLoCs, which are responsible for orchestrating the flow of data between the UI and the data layer, and the business objects (entities).
* **Data Layer:** This layer is responsible for all data-related operations. It includes the repositories that fetch data from the backend and the data sources themselves (e.g., GraphQL API, local cache).
* **Core:** The `lib/core` directory contains shared code that is used across multiple features, such as the API client, dependency injection setup, routing, and common widgets.
### Integration Points
* **UI to Domain:** The UI (widgets) dispatches events to the BLoCs in the domain layer based on user interactions.
* **Domain to Data:** The BLoCs in the domain layer call methods on the repositories in the data layer to fetch or update data.
* **Data to Backend:** The repositories in the data layer use the `ApiClient` to make GraphQL calls to the backend.
## C. Backend Architecture
The backend of the Krow app is a hybrid system that leverages both a **GraphQL server** and **Firebase services**.

end

B -- "Data Operations" --> C2
B -- "File Operations" --> C3
C1 -- "User Tokens" --> A
C2 -- "Data" --> B
C3 -- "Files" --> B
B -- "Data/Files" --> A
```
### GraphQL
The GraphQL server acts as an intermediary between the Flutter app and the Firebase services. It exposes a set of queries and mutations that the app can use to interact with the backend. This provides a single, unified API for the app to consume, simplifying data fetching and manipulation.
### Firebase Integration
* **Firebase Auth:** Firebase Auth is used for user authentication. The Flutter app interacts directly with Firebase Auth to handle user sign-in, sign-up, and password reset flows. Once authenticated, the app retrieves a Firebase ID token, which is then used to authenticate with the GraphQL server.
* **Firebase Firestore:** Firestore is the primary database for the application. The GraphQL server is responsible for all interactions with Firestore, including fetching, creating, updating, and deleting data.
* **Firebase Storage:** Firebase Storage is used for storing user-generated content, such as profile pictures. The GraphQL server handles file uploads and retrieves file URLs that are then sent to the app.
### End-to-End Communication Flow
1. The Flutter app authenticates the user with Firebase Auth.
2. The app receives a Firebase ID token.
3. For all subsequent API requests, the app sends the Firebase ID token in the authorization header of the GraphQL request.
4. The GraphQL server verifies the token and then executes the requested query or mutation.
5. The GraphQL server interacts with Firestore or Firebase Storage to fulfill the request.
6. The GraphQL server returns the requested data to the app.
## D. API Layer
The API layer is responsible for all communication with the backend. It is built around the `graphql_flutter` package and a custom `ApiClient`.

```
### API Handling
* **Error Handling:** The `ApiClient` uses the `ErrorPolicy.all` policy to catch all GraphQL errors. The BLoCs are responsible for catching these errors and updating the UI state accordingly.
* **Caching:** The `GraphQLCache` with `HiveStore` is used to cache GraphQL query results. The `fetchPolicy` is set to `cacheAndNetwork` to provide a fast user experience while keeping the data up-to-date.
* **Parsing:** The app uses the `json_serializable` package to parse the JSON responses from the GraphQL server into Dart objects.
## E. State Management
The Krow app uses the **BLoC (Business Logic Component)** pattern for state management, powered by the `flutter_bloc` package.
### Why BLoC?
* **Separation of Concerns:** BLoC separates the business logic from the UI, making the code more organized, testable, and maintainable.
* **Testability:** BLoCs are easy to test in isolation from the UI.
* **Reactivity:** BLoC uses streams to manage state, which makes it easy to update the UI in response to state changes.
### State Flow
1. The UI dispatches an event to the BLoC.
2. The BLoC receives the event and interacts with the data layer (repositories) to fetch or update data.
3. The data layer returns data or a success/failure status to the BLoC.
4. The BLoC updates its state based on the result from the data layer.
5. The UI rebuilds itself in response to the new state.
### Integration with the API Layer
The BLoCs do not interact directly with the `ApiClient`. Instead, they go through a repository layer, which abstracts the data source. This makes it possible to switch out the backend without having to change the BLoCs.
## F. Use-Case Flows
The following diagrams illustrate the flow for some of the major use cases in the app.
```mermaid

A1[User enters credentials] --> B1{SignInBloc};
B1 --> C1[Firebase Auth: signInWithEmailAndPassword];
C1 -- Success --> D1[Navigate to Home];
C1 -- Failure --> E1[Show error message];
end
subgraph "Password Reset Flow"
A2[User requests password reset] --> B2{SignInBloc};
B2 --> C2[Firebase Auth: sendPasswordResetEmail];
C2 -- Email Sent --> D2[User clicks deep link];
D2 --> E2[UI with new password fields];
E2 --> F2{SignInBloc};
F2 --> G2[Firebase Auth: confirmPasswordReset];
G2 -- Success --> H2[Show success message];
G2 -- Failure --> I2[Show error message];
end

C5 --> D5[Firestore: users collection];

C5 -- Returns data --> B5;
B5 --> E5[Display profile information];
end
```
## G. Replacing or Plugging in a New Backend: Considerations & Recommendations
This section provides guidance on how to replace the current GraphQL + Firebase backend with a different backend solution.
### Tightly Coupled Components
* **`ApiClient`:** This class is tightly coupled to `graphql_flutter`.
* **Firebase Auth:** The authentication logic is directly tied to the `firebase_auth` package.
* **BLoCs:** Some BLoCs might have direct dependencies on Firebase or GraphQL-specific models.
### Abstraction Recommendations
To make the architecture more backend-agnostic, the following abstractions should be implemented:
* **Repositories:** Create an abstract `Repository` class for each feature in the `domain` layer. The implementation of this repository will be in the `data` layer. The BLoCs should only depend on the abstract repository.
* **Authentication Service:** Create an abstract `AuthService` class that defines the methods for authentication (e.g., `signIn`, `signOut`, `getToken`). The implementation of this service will be in the `data` layer and will use the specific authentication provider (e.g., Firebase Auth, OAuth).
* **Data Transfer Objects (DTOs):** Use DTOs to transfer data between the data layer and the domain layer. This will prevent the domain layer from having dependencies on backend-specific models.
### Suggested Design Improvements
* **Formalize Clean Architecture:** While the current architecture has elements of Clean Architecture, it could be more formally implemented by creating a clear separation between the `domain`, `data`, and `presentation` layers for all features.
* **Introduce Use Cases:** Introduce `UseCase` classes in the `domain` layer to encapsulate specific business operations. This will make the BLoCs simpler and more focused on state management.
### Migration Strategies
To replace the current backend with a new one (e.g., REST API, Supabase), follow these steps:
1. **Implement New Repositories:** Create new implementations of the repository interfaces for the new backend.
2. **Implement New Auth Service:** Create a new implementation of the `AuthService` interface for the new authentication provider.
3. **Update Dependency Injection:** Use dependency injection (e.g., `get_it` and `injectable`) to provide the new repository and auth service implementations to the BLoCs.
4. **Gradual Migration:** If possible, migrate one feature at a time to the new backend. This will reduce the risk of breaking the entire application at once.

# Krow Mobile Staff App - Architecture Document
## A. Introduction
This document outlines the architecture of the Krow Mobile Staff App, a Flutter application designed to connect staff with job opportunities. The app provides features for staff to manage their profiles, view and apply for shifts, track earnings, and complete necessary paperwork.
The core purpose of the app is to streamline the process of finding and managing temporary work, providing a seamless experience for staff from onboarding to payment.
## B. Full Architecture Overview
The application follows a **Clean Architecture** pattern, separating concerns into three main layers: **Presentation**, **Domain**, and **Data**. This layered approach promotes a separation of concerns, making the codebase more maintainable, scalable, and testable.
- **Presentation Layer:** This layer is responsible for the UI and user interaction. It consists of widgets, screens, and Blocs that manage the UI state. The Presentation Layer depends on the Domain Layer to execute business logic.
- **Domain Layer:** This layer contains the core business logic of the application. It consists of use cases (interactors), entities (business objects), and repository interfaces. The Domain Layer is independent of the other layers.
- **Data Layer:** This layer is responsible for data retrieval and storage. It consists of repository implementations, data sources (API clients, local database), and data transfer objects (DTOs). The Data Layer depends on the Domain Layer and implements the repository interfaces defined in it.
### Integration Points
- **UI → Domain:** The UI (e.g., a button press) triggers a method in a Bloc. The Bloc then calls a use case in the Domain Layer to execute the business logic.
- **Domain → Data:** The use case calls a method on a repository interface.
- **Data → External:** The repository implementation, located in the Data Layer, communicates with external data sources (GraphQL API, Firebase, local storage) to retrieve or store data.
## C. Backend Architecture
The backend is built on a combination of a **GraphQL server** and **Firebase services**.
- **GraphQL Server:** The primary endpoint for the Flutter app. It handles most of the business logic and data aggregation. The server is responsible for communicating with Firebase services to fulfill requests.
- **Firebase Services:**
- **Firebase Auth:** Used for user authentication, primarily with phone number verification.
- **Firebase Firestore:** The main database for storing application data, such as user profiles, shifts, and earnings.
- **Firebase Storage:** Used for storing user-generated content, such as profile avatars.
- **Firebase Cloud Messaging:** Used for sending push notifications to users.
- **Firebase Remote Config:** Used for remotely configuring app parameters.
### API Flow
1. **Flutter App to GraphQL:** The Flutter app sends GraphQL queries and mutations to the GraphQL server.
2. **GraphQL to Firebase:** The GraphQL server resolves these operations by interacting with Firebase services. For example, a `getShifts` query will fetch data from Firestore, and an `updateStaffPersonalInfoWithAvatar` mutation will update a document in Firestore and upload a file to Firebase Storage.
3. **Response Flow:** The data flows back from Firebase to the GraphQL server, which then sends it back to the Flutter app.
## D. API Layer
The API layer is responsible for all communication with the backend.
- **GraphQL Operations:** The app uses the `graphql_flutter` package to interact with the GraphQL server. Queries, mutations, and subscriptions are defined in `.dart` files within each feature's `data` directory.
- **API Error Handling:** The `ApiClient` class is responsible for handling API errors. It catches exceptions and returns a `Failure` object, which is then handled by the Bloc in the Presentation Layer to show an appropriate error message to the user.
- **Caching:** The `graphql_flutter` client provides caching capabilities. The app uses a `HiveStore` to cache GraphQL responses, reducing the number of network requests and improving performance.
- **Parsing:** JSON responses from the API are parsed into Dart objects using the `json_serializable` package.
## E. State Management
The application uses the **Bloc** library for state management.
- **Why Bloc?** Bloc is a predictable state management library that helps to separate business logic from the UI. It enforces a unidirectional data flow, making the app's state changes predictable and easier to debug.
- **State Flow:**
1. **UI Event:** The UI dispatches an event to the Bloc.
2. **Bloc Logic:** The Bloc receives the event, executes the necessary business logic (often by calling a use case), and emits a new state.
3. **UI Update:** The UI listens to the Bloc's state changes and rebuilds itself to reflect the new state.
- **Integration with API Layer:** Blocs interact with the API layer through use cases. When a Bloc needs to fetch data from the backend, it calls a use case, which in turn calls a repository that communicates with the API.
## F. Use-Case Flows
### User Authentication
1. **UI:** The user enters their phone number.
2. **Logic:** The `AuthBloc` sends the phone number to Firebase Auth for verification.
3. **Backend:** Firebase Auth sends a verification code to the user's phone.
4. **UI:** The user enters the verification code.
5. **Logic:** The `AuthBloc` verifies the code with Firebase Auth.
6. **Backend:** Firebase Auth returns an auth token.
7. **Logic:** The app sends the auth token to the GraphQL server to get the user's profile.
8. **Response:** The GraphQL server returns the user's data, and the app navigates to the home screen.
### Shift Management
1. **UI:** The user navigates to the shifts screen.
2. **Logic:** The `ShiftsBloc` requests a list of shifts.
3. **Backend:** The use case calls the `ShiftsRepository`, which sends a `getShifts` query to the GraphQL server. The server fetches the shifts from Firestore.
4. **Response:** The GraphQL server returns the list of shifts, which is then displayed on the UI.
## G. Replacing or Plugging in a New Backend: Considerations & Recommendations
This section provides guidance on how to replace the current GraphQL + Firebase backend with a different solution (e.g., REST, Supabase, Hasura).
### Tightly Coupled Components
- **Data Layer:** The current `ApiProvider` implementations are tightly coupled to the GraphQL API.
- **Authentication:** The authentication flow is tightly coupled to Firebase Auth.
- **DTOs:** The data transfer objects are generated based on the GraphQL schema.
### Abstraction Recommendations
To make the architecture more backend-agnostic, the following components should be abstracted:
- **Repositories:** The repository interfaces in the Domain Layer should remain unchanged. The implementations in the Data Layer will need to be rewritten for the new backend.
- **Services:** Services like authentication should be abstracted behind an interface. For example, an `AuthService` interface can be defined in the Domain Layer, with a `FirebaseAuthService` implementation in the Data Layer.
- **DTOs:** The DTOs should be mapped to domain entities in the Data Layer. This ensures that the Domain Layer is not affected by changes in the backend's data model.
- **Error Handling:** A generic error handling mechanism should be implemented to handle different types of backend errors.
### Suggested Design Improvements
- **Introduce a Service Locator:** Use a service locator like `get_it` to decouple the layers and make it easier to swap out implementations.
- **Define Abstract Data Sources:** Instead of directly calling the API client in the repository implementations, introduce abstract data source interfaces (e.g., `UserRemoteDataSource`). This adds another layer of abstraction and makes the repositories more testable.
### Migration Strategies
1. **Define Interfaces:** Start by defining abstract interfaces for all backend interactions (repositories, services).
2. **Implement New Data Layer:** Create a new implementation of the Data Layer for the new backend. This will involve writing new repository implementations, API clients, and DTOs.
3. **Swap Implementations:** Use the service locator to swap the old Data Layer implementation with the new one.
4. **Test:** Thoroughly test the application to ensure that everything works as expected with the new backend.
By following these recommendations, the Krow Mobile Staff App can be migrated to a new backend with minimal impact on the overall architecture and business logic.
