## Skill Descriptions
Each skill includes a description in its frontmatter that helps AI agents determine when to use it. These descriptions are designed to be "pushy" to ensure skills are triggered appropriately.
## Using These Skills
### For AI Agents
1. **Skill triggering is automatic** based on:
- User task description matching skill description
- Context keywords (mobile, flutter, feature, release, etc.)
- Task type (implementation, architecture, UI, release)
2. **Skills can be combined** - multiple skills may be relevant:
- Development rules + Architecture (implementing features)
- Architecture + Design System (creating UI with proper structure)
- Development rules + Data Connect (backend integration)
- Release + Development rules (preparing releases)
3. **Reference documentation** when needed:
- Skills provide comprehensive guidance
- Link to source documentation for deep dives
- Include examples and anti-patterns
### For Developers
These skills serve as:
- **Quick reference** for mobile development standards
- **Onboarding material** for new team members
- **Code review checklist** for ensuring compliance
- **Architecture guide** for feature implementation
## Skill Maintenance
### Updating Skills
When mobile documentation changes:
1. Review corresponding skill(s)
2. Update skill content to match new standards
3. Update examples and patterns
4. Keep descriptions current for proper triggering
### Adding New Skills
Consider creating new skills for:
- New architectural patterns (e.g., state management approaches)
- New subsystems (e.g., analytics, crash reporting)
- Complex workflows spanning multiple skills
- Domain-specific patterns (e.g., payment processing)

# KROW Mobile Architecture
This skill defines the authoritative mobile architecture for the KROW platform. All code must strictly adhere to these principles to prevent architectural degradation.
## When to Use This Skill
- Architecting new mobile features
- Debugging state management or BLoC lifecycle issues
- Preventing prop drilling in UI code
- Managing session state and authentication
- Implementing Data Connect connector repositories
- Setting up feature modules and dependency injection
- Understanding package boundaries and dependencies
- Refactoring legacy code to Clean Architecture
## 1. High-Level Architecture
KROW follows **Clean Architecture** in a **Melos Monorepo**. Dependencies flow **inward** toward the Domain.
```
┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│ Apps (Entry Points) │
│ • apps/mobile/apps/client │
│ • apps/mobile/apps/staff │
│ Role: DI roots, navigation assembly, env config │
└─────────────────┬───────────────────────────────────────┘
│ depends on
┌─────────────────▼───────────────────────────────────────┐
│ Features (Vertical Slices) │
│ • apps/mobile/packages/features/client/* │
│ • apps/mobile/packages/features/staff/* │
│ Role: Pages, BLoCs, Use Cases, Feature Repositories │

└──────────────────────┘ └───────────────────┘
│ both depend on
┌─────────────────▼───────────────────────────────────────┐
│ Services (Interface Adapters) │
│ • data_connect: Backend integration, session mgmt │
│ • core: Extensions, base classes, utilities │
└─────────────────┬───────────────────────────────────────┘
│ both depend on
┌─────────────────▼───────────────────────────────────────┐
│ Domain (Stable Core) │
│ • Entities (immutable data models) │
│ • Failures (domain-specific errors) │
│ • Pure Dart only, zero Flutter dependencies │
└─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
```
**Critical Rule:** Dependencies point INWARD only. Domain knows nothing about the outer layers.
## 2. Package Structure & Responsibilities
### 2.1 Apps (`apps/mobile/apps/`)
**Role:** Application entry points and DI roots
**Responsibilities:**
- Initialize Flutter Modular
- Assemble features into navigation tree
- Inject concrete implementations (from `data_connect`) into features
- Configure environment-specific settings (dev/stage/prod)
- Initialize session management
**Structure:**
```
apps/mobile/apps/staff/
├── lib/
│ ├── main.dart # Entry point, session initialization
│ ├── app_module.dart # Root module, imports features
│ ├── app_widget.dart # MaterialApp setup
│ └── src/
│ ├── navigation/ # Typed navigators
│ └── widgets/ # SessionListener wrapper
└── pubspec.yaml
```
**RESTRICTION:** NO business logic. NO UI widgets (except App and Main).
### 2.2 Features (`apps/mobile/packages/features/<APP>/<FEATURE>`)
**Role:** Vertical slices of user-facing functionality
**Internal Structure:**
```
features/staff/profile/
├── lib/
│ ├── src/
│ │ ├── domain/
│ │ │ ├── repositories/ # Repository interfaces
│ │ │ │ └── profile_repository_interface.dart
│ │ │ └── usecases/ # Application logic
│ │ │ └── get_profile_usecase.dart
│ │ ├── data/
│ │ │ └── repositories_impl/ # Repository concrete classes
│ │ │ └── profile_repository_impl.dart
│ │ └── presentation/
│ │ ├── blocs/ # State management
│ │ │ └── profile_cubit.dart
│ │ ├── pages/ # Screens (StatelessWidget preferred)
│ │ │ └── profile_page.dart
│ │ └── widgets/ # Reusable UI components
│ │ └── profile_header.dart
│ └── profile_feature.dart # Barrel file (public API only)
└── pubspec.yaml
```
**Key Principles:**
- **Presentation:** UI Pages and Widgets, BLoCs/Cubits for state
- **Application:** Use Cases (business logic orchestration)
- **Data:** Repository implementations (backend integration)
- **Pages as StatelessWidget:** Move state to BLoCs for better performance and testability
**RESTRICTION:** Features MUST NOT import other features. Communication happens via:
- Shared domain entities
- Session stores (`StaffSessionStore`, `ClientSessionStore`)
- Navigation via Modular
- Data Connect connector repositories
### 2.3 Domain (`apps/mobile/packages/domain`)
**Role:** The stable, pure heart of the system
**Responsibilities:**
- Define **Entities** (immutable data models using Data Classes or Freezed)
- Define **Failures** (domain-specific error types)
**Structure:**
```
domain/
├── lib/
│ └── src/
│ ├── entities/
│ │ ├── user.dart
│ │ ├── staff.dart
│ │ └── shift.dart
│ └── failures/
│ ├── failure.dart # Base class
│ ├── auth_failure.dart
│ └── network_failure.dart
└── pubspec.yaml
```
**Example Entity:**
```dart
import 'package:equatable/equatable.dart';
class Staff extends Equatable {
final String id;
final String name;
final String email;
final StaffStatus status;
const Staff({
required this.id,
required this.name,
required this.email,
required this.status,
});
@override
List<Object?> get props => [id, name, email, status];
}
```
**RESTRICTION:**
- NO Flutter dependencies (no `import 'package:flutter/material.dart'`)
- NO `json_annotation` or serialization code
- Only `equatable` for value equality
- Pure Dart only
### 2.4 Data Connect (`apps/mobile/packages/data_connect`)
**Role:** Interface Adapter for Backend Access
**Responsibilities:**
- Centralized connector repositories (see Data Connect Connectors Pattern section)
- Implement Firebase Data Connect service layer
- Map Domain Entities ↔ Data Connect generated code
- Handle Firebase exceptions → domain failures
- Provide `DataConnectService` with session management
**Structure:**
```
data_connect/
├── lib/
│ ├── src/
│ │ ├── services/
│ │ │ ├── data_connect_service.dart # Core service
│ │ │ └── mixins/
│ │ │ └── session_handler_mixin.dart
│ │ ├── connectors/ # Connector pattern (see below)
│ │ │ ├── staff/
│ │ │ │ ├── domain/
│ │ │ │ │ ├── repositories/
│ │ │ │ │ │ └── staff_connector_repository.dart
│ │ │ │ │ └── usecases/
│ │ │ │ │ └── get_profile_completion_usecase.dart
│ │ │ │ └── data/
│ │ │ │ └── repositories/
│ │ │ │ └── staff_connector_repository_impl.dart
│ │ │ ├── order/
│ │ │ └── shifts/
│ │ └── session/
│ │ ├── staff_session_store.dart
│ │ └── client_session_store.dart
│ └── krow_data_connect.dart # Exports
└── pubspec.yaml
```
**RESTRICTION:**
- NO feature-specific logic
- Connectors are domain-neutral and reusable
- All queries follow Clean Architecture (domain interfaces → data implementations)
### 2.5 Design System (`apps/mobile/packages/design_system`)
**Role:** Visual language and component library
**Responsibilities:**
- Theme definitions (`UiColors`, `UiTypography`)
- UI constants (`spacingL`, `radiusM`, etc.)
- Shared widgets (if reused across multiple features)
- Assets (icons, images, fonts)
**Structure:**
```
design_system/
├── lib/
│ └── src/
│ ├── ui_colors.dart
│ ├── ui_typography.dart
│ ├── ui_icons.dart
│ ├── ui_constants.dart
│ ├── ui_theme.dart # ThemeData factory
│ └── widgets/ # Shared UI components
│ └── custom_button.dart
└── assets/
├── icons/
└── images/
```
**RESTRICTION:**
- Dumb widgets ONLY (no state management)
- NO business logic
- Colors and typography are IMMUTABLE (no feature can override)
### 2.6 Core Localization (`apps/mobile/packages/core_localization`)
**Role:** Centralized i18n management
**Responsibilities:**
- Define all user-facing strings in `l10n/`
- Provide `LocaleBloc` for locale state management
- Export `TranslationProvider` for `context.strings` access
- Map domain failures to localized error messages via `ErrorTranslator`
**Feature Integration:**
```dart
// Features access strings
Text(context.strings.loginButton)
// BLoCs emit domain failures (not strings)
emit(AuthError(InvalidCredentialsFailure()));
// UI translates failures to localized messages
final message = ErrorTranslator.translate(failure, context.strings);
```
**App Setup:**
```dart
// App imports LocalizationModule
class AppModule extends Module {
@override
List<Module> get imports => [LocalizationModule()];
}
// Wrap app with providers
BlocProvider<LocaleBloc>(
create: (_) => Modular.get<LocaleBloc>(),
child: TranslationProvider(
child: MaterialApp.router(...),
),
)
```
### 2.7 Core (`apps/mobile/packages/core`)
**Role:** Cross-cutting concerns
**Responsibilities:**
- Extension methods (NavigationExtensions, ListExtensions, etc.)
- Base classes (UseCase, Failure, BlocErrorHandler)
- Logger configuration
- Result types for functional error handling
## 3. Dependency Direction Rules
1. **Domain Independence:** `domain` knows NOTHING about outer layers
- Defines *what* needs to be done, not *how*
- Pure Dart, zero Flutter dependencies
- Stable contracts that rarely change
2. **UI Agnosticism:** Features depend on `design_system` for UI and `domain` for logic
- Features do NOT know about Firebase or backend details
- Backend changes don't affect feature implementation
3. **Data Isolation:** `data_connect` depends on `domain` to know interfaces
- Implements domain repository interfaces
- Maps backend models to domain entities
- Does NOT know about UI
**Dependency Flow:**
```
Apps → Features → Design System
→ Core Localization
→ Data Connect → Domain
→ Core
```
## 4. Data Connect Service & Session Management
### 4.1 Session Handler Mixin
**Location:** `apps/mobile/packages/data_connect/lib/src/services/mixins/session_handler_mixin.dart`
**Responsibilities:**
- Automatic token refresh (triggered when <5 minutes to expiry)
- Firebase auth state listening
- Role-based access validation
- Session state stream emissions
- 3-attempt retry with exponential backoff (1s → 2s → 4s)
**Key Method:**
```dart
// Call once on app startup
DataConnectService.instance.initializeAuthListener(
allowedRoles: ['STAFF', 'BOTH'], // or ['CLIENT', 'BUSINESS', 'BOTH']
);
```
### 4.2 Session Listener Widget
**Location:** `apps/mobile/apps/<app>/lib/src/widgets/session_listener.dart`
**Responsibilities:**
- Wraps entire app to listen to session state changes
- Shows user-friendly dialogs for session expiration/errors
- Handles navigation on auth state changes
**Usage:**
```dart
// main.dart
runApp(
SessionListener( // ← Critical wrapper
child: ModularApp(module: AppModule(), child: AppWidget()),
),
);
```
### 4.3 Repository Pattern with Data Connect
**Step 1:** Define interface in feature domain:
```dart
// features/staff/profile/lib/src/domain/repositories/
abstract interface class ProfileRepositoryInterface {
Future<Staff> getProfile(String id);
}
```
**Step 2:** Implement using `DataConnectService.run()`:
```dart
// features/staff/profile/lib/src/data/repositories_impl/
class ProfileRepositoryImpl implements ProfileRepositoryInterface {
final DataConnectService _service = DataConnectService.instance;
@override
Future<Staff> getProfile(String id) async {
return await _service.run(() async {
final response = await _service.connector
.getStaffById(id: id)
.execute();
return _mapToStaff(response.data.staff);
});
}
}
```
**Benefits of `_service.run()`:**
- ✅ Auto validates user is authenticated
- ✅ Refreshes token if <5 min to expiry
- ✅ Executes the query
- ✅ 3-attempt retry with exponential backoff
- ✅ Maps exceptions to domain failures
### 4.4 Session Store Pattern
After successful auth, populate session stores:
**Staff App:**
```dart
StaffSessionStore.instance.setSession(
StaffSession(
user: user,
staff: staff,
ownerId: ownerId,
),
);
```
**Client App:**
```dart
ClientSessionStore.instance.setSession(
ClientSession(
user: user,
business: business,
),
);
```
**Lazy Loading:** If session is null, fetch from backend and update:
```dart
final session = StaffSessionStore.instance.session;
if (session?.staff == null) {
final staff = await getStaffById(session!.user.uid);
StaffSessionStore.instance.setSession(
session.copyWith(staff: staff),
);
}
```
## 5. Feature Isolation & Communication
### Zero Direct Imports
```dart
// ❌ FORBIDDEN
import 'package:staff_profile/staff_profile.dart'; // in another feature
// ✅ ALLOWED
import 'package:krow_domain/krow_domain.dart'; // shared domain
import 'package:krow_core/krow_core.dart'; // shared utilities
import 'package:design_system/design_system.dart'; // shared UI
```
### Navigation: Typed Navigators with Safe Extensions
**Safe Navigation Extensions** (from `core` package):
```dart
extension NavigationExtensions on IModularNavigator {
/// Safely navigate with fallback to home
Future<void> safeNavigate(String route) async {
try {
await navigate(route);
} catch (e) {
await navigate('/home'); // Fallback
}
}
/// Safely push with fallback to home
Future<T?> safePush<T>(String route) async {
try {
return await pushNamed<T>(route);
} catch (e) {
await navigate('/home');
return null;
}
}
/// Safely pop with guard against empty stack
void popSafe() {
if (canPop()) {
pop();
} else {
navigate('/home');
}
}
}
```
**Typed Navigators:**
```dart
// apps/mobile/apps/staff/lib/src/navigation/staff_navigator.dart
extension StaffNavigator on IModularNavigator {
Future<void> toStaffHome() => safeNavigate(StaffPaths.home);
Future<void> toShiftDetails(String shiftId) =>
safePush('${StaffPaths.shifts}/$shiftId');
Future<void> toProfileEdit() => safePush(StaffPaths.profileEdit);
}
```
**Usage in Features:**
```dart
// ✅ CORRECT
Modular.to.toStaffHome();
Modular.to.toShiftDetails(shiftId: '123');
Modular.to.popSafe();
// ❌ AVOID
Modular.to.navigate('/home'); // No safety
Navigator.push(...); // No Modular integration
```
### Data Sharing Patterns
Features don't share state directly. Use:
1. **Domain Repositories:** Centralized data sources
2. **Session Stores:** `StaffSessionStore`, `ClientSessionStore` for app-wide context
3. **Event Streams:** If needed, via `DataConnectService` streams
4. **Navigation Arguments:** Pass IDs, not full objects
## 6. App-Specific Session Management
### Staff App
```dart
// main.dart
void main() async {
WidgetsFlutterBinding.ensureInitialized();
DataConnectService.instance.initializeAuthListener(
allowedRoles: ['STAFF', 'BOTH'],
);
runApp(
SessionListener(
child: ModularApp(module: StaffAppModule(), child: StaffApp()),
),
);
}
```
**Session Store:** `StaffSessionStore`
- Fields: `user`, `staff`, `ownerId`
- Lazy load: `getStaffById()` if staff is null
**Navigation:**
- Authenticated → `Modular.to.toStaffHome()`
- Unauthenticated → `Modular.to.toInitialPage()`
### Client App
```dart
// main.dart
void main() async {
WidgetsFlutterBinding.ensureInitialized();
DataConnectService.instance.initializeAuthListener(
allowedRoles: ['CLIENT', 'BUSINESS', 'BOTH'],
);
runApp(
SessionListener(
child: ModularApp(module: ClientAppModule(), child: ClientApp()),
),
);
}
```
**Session Store:** `ClientSessionStore`
- Fields: `user`, `business`
- Lazy load: `getBusinessById()` if business is null
**Navigation:**
- Authenticated → `Modular.to.toClientHome()`
- Unauthenticated → `Modular.to.toInitialPage()`
## 7. Data Connect Connectors Pattern
**Problem:** Without connectors, each feature duplicates backend queries.
**Solution:** Centralize all backend queries in `data_connect/connectors/`.
### Structure
Mirror backend connector structure:
```
data_connect/lib/src/connectors/
├── staff/
│ ├── domain/
│ │ ├── repositories/
│ │ │ └── staff_connector_repository.dart # Interface
│ │ └── usecases/
│ │ └── get_profile_completion_usecase.dart
│ └── data/
│ └── repositories/
│ └── staff_connector_repository_impl.dart # Implementation
├── order/
├── shifts/
└── user/
```
**Maps to backend:**
```
backend/dataconnect/connector/
├── staff/
├── order/
├── shifts/
└── user/
```
### Clean Architecture in Connectors
**Domain Interface:**
```dart
// staff_connector_repository.dart
abstract interface class StaffConnectorRepository {
Future<bool> getProfileCompletion();
Future<Staff> getStaffById(String id);
}
```
**Use Case:**
```dart
// get_profile_completion_usecase.dart
class GetProfileCompletionUseCase {
final StaffConnectorRepository _repository;
GetProfileCompletionUseCase({required StaffConnectorRepository repository})
: _repository = repository;
Future<bool> call() => _repository.getProfileCompletion();
}
```
**Data Implementation:**
```dart
// staff_connector_repository_impl.dart
class StaffConnectorRepositoryImpl implements StaffConnectorRepository {
final DataConnectService _service;
@override
Future<bool> getProfileCompletion() async {
return _service.run(() async {
final staffId = await _service.getStaffId();
final response = await _service.connector
.getStaffProfileCompletion(id: staffId)
.execute();
return _isProfileComplete(response);
});
}
}
```
### Feature Integration
**Step 1:** Feature registers connector repository:
```dart
// staff_main_module.dart
class StaffMainModule extends Module {
@override
void binds(Injector i) {
i.addSingleton<StaffConnectorRepository>(
StaffConnectorRepositoryImpl.new,
);
i.addSingleton(
() => GetProfileCompletionUseCase(
repository: i.get<StaffConnectorRepository>(),
),
);
i.addSingleton(
() => StaffMainCubit(
getProfileCompletionUsecase: i.get(),
),
);
}
}
```
**Step 2:** BLoC uses it:
```dart
class StaffMainCubit extends Cubit<StaffMainState> {
final GetProfileCompletionUseCase _getProfileCompletionUsecase;
Future<void> loadProfileCompletion() async {
final isComplete = await _getProfileCompletionUsecase();
emit(state.copyWith(isProfileComplete: isComplete));
}
}
```
### Benefits
**No Duplication** - Query implemented once, used by many features
**Single Source of Truth** - Backend change → update one place
**Reusability** - Any feature can use any connector
**Testability** - Mock connector repo to test features
**Scalability** - Easy to add connectors as backend grows
## 8. Avoiding Prop Drilling: Direct BLoC Access
### The Problem
Passing data through intermediate widgets creates maintenance burden:
```dart
// ❌ BAD: Prop drilling
ProfilePage(status: status)
ProfileHeader(status: status)
ProfileLevelBadge(status: status) // Only widget that needs it
```
### The Solution: BlocBuilder in Leaf Widgets
```dart
// ✅ GOOD: Direct BLoC access
class ProfileLevelBadge extends StatelessWidget {
@override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
return BlocBuilder<ProfileCubit, ProfileState>(
builder: (context, state) {
if (state.profile == null) return const SizedBox.shrink();
final level = _mapStatusToLevel(state.profile!.status);
return LevelBadgeUI(level: level);
},
);
}
}
```
### Guidelines
1. **Leaf Widgets Access BLoC:** Widgets needing specific data should use `BlocBuilder`
2. **Container Widgets Stay Simple:** Parent widgets only manage layout
3. **No Unnecessary Props:** Don't pass data to intermediate widgets
4. **Single Responsibility:** Each widget has one reason to exist
**Decision Tree:**
```
Does this widget need data?
├─ YES, leaf widget → Use BlocBuilder
├─ YES, container → Use BlocBuilder in child
└─ NO → Don't add prop
```
## 9. BLoC Lifecycle & State Emission Safety
### The Problem: StateError After Dispose
When async operations complete after BLoC is closed:
```
StateError: Cannot emit new states after calling close
```
**Root Causes:**
1. Transient BLoCs created with `BlocProvider(create:)` → disposed prematurely
2. Multiple BlocProviders disposing same singleton
3. User navigates away during async operation
### The Solution: Singleton BLoCs + Safe Emit
#### Step 1: Register as Singleton
```dart
// ✅ GOOD: Singleton registration
i.addSingleton<ProfileCubit>(
() => ProfileCubit(useCase1, useCase2),
);
// ❌ BAD: Creates new instance each time
i.add(ProfileCubit.new);
```
#### Step 2: Use BlocProvider.value()
```dart
// ✅ GOOD: Reuse singleton
final cubit = Modular.get<ProfileCubit>();
BlocProvider<ProfileCubit>.value(
value: cubit,
child: MyWidget(),
)
// ❌ BAD: Creates duplicate
BlocProvider<ProfileCubit>(
create: (_) => Modular.get<ProfileCubit>(),
child: MyWidget(),
)
```
#### Step 3: Safe Emit with BlocErrorHandler
**Location:** `apps/mobile/packages/core/lib/src/presentation/mixins/bloc_error_handler.dart`
```dart
mixin BlocErrorHandler<S> on Cubit<S> {
void _safeEmit(void Function(S) emit, S state) {
try {
emit(state);
} on StateError catch (e) {
developer.log(
'Could not emit state: ${e.message}. Bloc may have been disposed.',
name: runtimeType.toString(),
);
}
}
}
```
**Usage:**
```dart
class ProfileCubit extends Cubit<ProfileState> with BlocErrorHandler<ProfileState> {
Future<void> loadProfile() async {
emit(state.copyWith(status: ProfileStatus.loading));
await handleError(
emit: emit,
action: () async {
final profile = await getProfile();
emit(state.copyWith(status: ProfileStatus.loaded, profile: profile));
// ✅ Safe even if BLoC disposed
},
onError: (errorKey) => state.copyWith(status: ProfileStatus.error),
);
}
}
```
### Pattern Summary
| Pattern | When to Use | Risk |
|---------|------------|------|
| Singleton + BlocProvider.value() | Long-lived features | Low |
| Transient + BlocProvider(create:) | Temporary widgets | Medium |
| Direct BlocBuilder | Leaf widgets | Low |
## 10. Anti-Patterns to Avoid
**Feature imports feature**
```dart
import 'package:staff_profile/staff_profile.dart'; // in another feature
```
**Business logic in BLoC**
```dart
on<LoginRequested>((event, emit) {
if (event.email.isEmpty) { // ← Use case responsibility
emit(AuthError('Email required'));
}
});
```
**Direct Data Connect in features**
```dart
final response = await FirebaseDataConnect.instance.query(); // ← Use repository
```
**Global state variables**
```dart
User? currentUser; // ← Use SessionStore
```
**Direct Navigator.push**
```dart
Navigator.push(context, MaterialPageRoute(...)); // ← Use Modular
```
**Hardcoded navigation**
```dart
Modular.to.navigate('/profile'); // ← Use safe extensions
```
## Summary
The architecture enforces:
- **Clean Architecture** with strict layer boundaries
- **Feature Isolation** via zero cross-feature imports
- **Session Management** via DataConnectService and SessionListener
- **Connector Pattern** for reusable backend queries
- **BLoC Lifecycle** safety with singletons and safe emit
- **Navigation Safety** with typed navigators and fallbacks
When implementing features:
1. Follow package structure strictly
2. Use connector repositories for backend access
3. Register BLoCs as singletons with `.value()`
4. Use safe navigation extensions
5. Avoid prop drilling with direct BLoC access
6. Keep domain pure and stable
Architecture is not negotiable. When in doubt, refer to existing well-structured features or ask for clarification.

name: krow-mobile-data-connect
description: KROW Data Connect connectors pattern for centralized backend query management. Use when integrating backend queries, creating connector repositories, adding queries to existing connectors, implementing feature repositories, preventing query duplication, or understanding Clean Architecture data layer. Covers connector structure, repository pattern, feature integration, and benefits over feature-specific repositories.

# KROW Mobile Data Connect Connectors Pattern
This skill describes the Data Connect Connectors pattern used in KROW mobile apps to centralize all backend query logic by mirroring backend connector structure.
## When to Use This Skill
- Integrating backend queries into mobile features
- Creating new connector repositories
- Adding queries to existing connectors
- Understanding data layer architecture
- Preventing duplicate backend queries
- Implementing feature repositories that use connectors
- Refactoring feature-specific queries to connectors
- Debugging Data Connect integration issues
- Understanding session management and token refresh
## Problem Statement
### Without Connectors Pattern
Each feature creates its own repository implementation, leading to:
**❌ Query Duplication:**
```
staff_main/
└── data/repositories/profile_completion_repository_impl.dart ← queries staff connector
profile/
└── data/repositories/profile_repository_impl.dart ← also queries staff connector
onboarding/
└── data/repositories/personal_info_repository_impl.dart ← also queries staff connector
```
**Issues:**
- Multiple features query the same backend connector
- When backend queries change, updates needed in multiple places
- No reusability across features
- Code duplication and maintenance burden
### With Connectors Pattern
All backend connector queries implemented once:
**✅ Centralized:**
```
data_connect/
└── connectors/
└── staff/
├── domain/
│ ├── repositories/staff_connector_repository.dart
│ └── usecases/get_profile_completion_usecase.dart
└── data/
└── repositories/staff_connector_repository_impl.dart
# Features use connector repositories
staff_main/ → uses StaffConnectorRepository
profile/ → uses StaffConnectorRepository
onboarding/ → uses StaffConnectorRepository
```
**Benefits:**
- ✅ Single implementation per query
- ✅ Reused across all features
- ✅ Backend change → update one place
- ✅ No duplication
## 1. Connector Structure
### Package Organization
**Location:** `apps/mobile/packages/data_connect/lib/src/connectors/`
**Structure:**
```
data_connect/lib/src/connectors/
├── staff/ # Mirrors backend/dataconnect/connector/staff/
│ ├── domain/
│ │ ├── repositories/
│ │ │ └── staff_connector_repository.dart # Interface
│ │ └── usecases/
│ │ ├── get_profile_completion_usecase.dart
│ │ └── get_staff_by_id_usecase.dart
│ └── data/
│ └── repositories/
│ └── staff_connector_repository_impl.dart # Implementation
├── order/ # Mirrors backend/dataconnect/connector/order/
│ ├── domain/
│ │ ├── repositories/
│ │ │ └── order_connector_repository.dart
│ │ └── usecases/
│ └── data/
│ └── repositories/
│ └── order_connector_repository_impl.dart
├── shifts/ # Mirrors backend/dataconnect/connector/shifts/
│ ├── domain/
│ │ ├── repositories/
│ │ │ └── shifts_connector_repository.dart
│ │ └── usecases/
│ │ ├── list_shifts_usecase.dart
│ │ └── apply_for_shifts_usecase.dart
│ └── data/
│ └── repositories/
│ └── shifts_connector_repository_impl.dart
└── user/ # Mirrors backend/dataconnect/connector/user/
├── domain/
└── data/
```
**Mirroring Backend:**
```
backend/dataconnect/connector/
├── staff/
│ ├── queries/
│ │ └── profile_completion.gql
│ └── mutations/
├── order/
├── shifts/
│ ├── queries/
│ │ └── list_shift_roles_by_vendor.gql
│ └── mutations/
│ └── apply_for_shifts.gql
└── user/
```
**Key Principle:** Mobile connector structure mirrors backend connector structure.
## 2. Clean Architecture in Connectors
Each connector follows Clean Architecture with three layers.
### Domain Layer (`connectors/{name}/domain/`)
**Repository Interface:**
Define contract (what operations are available):
```dart
// staff_connector_repository.dart
abstract interface class StaffConnectorRepository {
/// Returns true if staff profile is complete.
///
/// Checks: personal info, emergency contacts, tax forms, experience.
Future<bool> getProfileCompletion();
/// Fetches staff entity by ID.
///
/// Returns Staff entity or throws exception if not found.
Future<Staff> getStaffById(String id);
/// Updates staff profile.
Future<void> updateStaff(Staff staff);
}
```
**Use Cases:**
One use case per query or related query group:
```dart
// get_profile_completion_usecase.dart
class GetProfileCompletionUseCase extends UseCase<bool, NoParams> {
final StaffConnectorRepository _repository;
GetProfileCompletionUseCase({
required StaffConnectorRepository repository,
}) : _repository = repository;
@override
Future<Either<Failure, bool>> call(NoParams params) async {
try {
final result = await _repository.getProfileCompletion();
return Right(result);
} on DataConnectException catch (e) {
return Left(ServerFailure(e.message));
}
}
}
```
```dart
// get_staff_by_id_usecase.dart
class GetStaffByIdUseCase extends UseCase<Staff, String> {
final StaffConnectorRepository _repository;
GetStaffByIdUseCase({
required StaffConnectorRepository repository,
}) : _repository = repository;
@override
Future<Either<Failure, Staff>> call(String staffId) async {
try {
final staff = await _repository.getStaffById(staffId);
return Right(staff);
} on DataConnectException catch (e) {
return Left(ServerFailure(e.message));
}
}
}
```
**Characteristics:**
- Pure Dart (no Flutter dependencies)
- Stable, business-focused contracts
- One interface per connector domain
- One use case per query or logical query group
### Data Layer (`connectors/{name}/data/`)
**Repository Implementation:**
Implements domain interface using `DataConnectService`:
```dart
// staff_connector_repository_impl.dart
class StaffConnectorRepositoryImpl implements StaffConnectorRepository {
final DataConnectService _service;
StaffConnectorRepositoryImpl({
DataConnectService? service,
}) : _service = service ?? DataConnectService.instance;
@override
Future<bool> getProfileCompletion() async {
return await _service.run(() async {
// Get current staff ID from session
final staffId = await _service.getStaffId();
// Execute Data Connect query
final response = await _service.connector
.getStaffProfileCompletion(id: staffId)
.execute();
// Check completion criteria
return _isProfileComplete(response);
});
}
@override
Future<Staff> getStaffById(String id) async {
return await _service.run(() async {
final response = await _service.connector
.getStaffById(id: id)
.execute();
// Map Data Connect model to Domain entity
return _mapToStaff(response.data.staff);
});
}
@override
Future<void> updateStaff(Staff staff) async {
return await _service.run(() async {
await _service.connector
.updateStaff(
id: staff.id,
name: staff.name,
email: staff.email,
// ... other fields
)
.execute();
});
}
/// Maps Data Connect staff model to Domain Staff entity
Staff _mapToStaff(dynamic dataConnectStaff) {
return Staff(
id: dataConnectStaff.id,
name: dataConnectStaff.name,
email: dataConnectStaff.email,
status: _mapStatus(dataConnectStaff.status),
);
}
/// Checks if profile is complete based on business rules
bool _isProfileComplete(dynamic response) {
final data = response.data.staff;
return data.personalInfo != null &&
data.emergencyContacts.isNotEmpty &&
data.taxForms != null &&
data.experience != null;
}
}
```
**Key Features of `_service.run()`:**
- ✅ Auto validates user is authenticated
- ✅ Refreshes token if <5 minutes to expiry
- ✅ Executes the query
- ✅ 3-attempt retry with exponential backoff (1s → 2s → 4s)
- ✅ Maps exceptions to domain failures
- ✅ Consistent error handling
**Characteristics:**
- Implements domain repository interface
- Uses `DataConnectService` to execute queries
- Maps backend response types to domain entities
- Contains mapping/transformation logic only
- Handles type safety with generated Data Connect types
## 3. Feature Integration Pattern
### Step 1: Feature Needs Data
Feature (e.g., `staff_main`) needs profile completion status.
### Step 2: Register Connector in Feature Module
Instead of creating a local repository, feature uses connector:
```dart
// staff_main_module.dart
import 'package:flutter_modular/flutter_modular.dart';
import 'package:krow_data_connect/krow_data_connect.dart';
class StaffMainModule extends Module {
@override
void binds(Injector i) {
// Register connector repository from data_connect
i.addSingleton<StaffConnectorRepository>(
StaffConnectorRepositoryImpl.new,
);
// Feature creates its own use case wrapper if needed
// Or uses connector use case directly
i.addSingleton(
() => GetProfileCompletionUseCase(
repository: i.get<StaffConnectorRepository>(),
),
);
// BLoC uses the use case
i.addSingleton(
() => StaffMainCubit(
getProfileCompletionUsecase: i.get<GetProfileCompletionUseCase>(),
),
);
}
@override
void routes(RouteManager r) {
r.child(
'/',
child: (_) => StaffMainPage(),
);
}
}
```
### Step 3: BLoC Uses Connector via Use Case
```dart
// staff_main_cubit.dart
import 'package:flutter_bloc/flutter_bloc.dart';
import 'package:krow_data_connect/krow_data_connect.dart';
class StaffMainCubit extends Cubit<StaffMainState> {
final GetProfileCompletionUseCase _getProfileCompletionUsecase;
StaffMainCubit({
required GetProfileCompletionUseCase getProfileCompletionUsecase,
}) : _getProfileCompletionUsecase = getProfileCompletionUsecase,
super(const StaffMainState()) {
_loadProfileCompletion();
}
Future<void> _loadProfileCompletion() async {
emit(state.copyWith(isLoading: true));
final result = await _getProfileCompletionUsecase(NoParams());
result.fold(
(failure) => emit(state.copyWith(
isLoading: false,
error: failure.message,
)),
(isComplete) => emit(state.copyWith(
isLoading: false,
isProfileComplete: isComplete,
)),
);
}
}
```
### Step 4: UI Reacts to State
```dart
// staff_main_page.dart
class StaffMainPage extends StatelessWidget {
@override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
return BlocBuilder<StaffMainCubit, StaffMainState>(
builder: (context, state) {
if (state.isLoading) {
return const LoadingIndicator();
}
if (state.isProfileComplete) {
return CompleteProfileView();
}
return IncompleteProfileView();
},
);
}
}
```
## 4. Export Pattern
### Exporting from Data Connect Package
Connectors are exported from `krow_data_connect` for easy access:
```dart
// lib/krow_data_connect.dart
library krow_data_connect;
// Data Connect Service
export 'src/services/data_connect_service.dart';
// Session Stores
export 'src/session/staff_session_store.dart';
export 'src/session/client_session_store.dart';
// Staff Connector
export 'src/connectors/staff/domain/repositories/staff_connector_repository.dart';
export 'src/connectors/staff/domain/usecases/get_profile_completion_usecase.dart';
export 'src/connectors/staff/domain/usecases/get_staff_by_id_usecase.dart';
export 'src/connectors/staff/data/repositories/staff_connector_repository_impl.dart';
// Shifts Connector
export 'src/connectors/shifts/domain/repositories/shifts_connector_repository.dart';
export 'src/connectors/shifts/domain/usecases/list_shifts_usecase.dart';
export 'src/connectors/shifts/data/repositories/shifts_connector_repository_impl.dart';
// Order Connector
export 'src/connectors/order/domain/repositories/order_connector_repository.dart';
export 'src/connectors/order/data/repositories/order_connector_repository_impl.dart';
```
### Features Import
Features import with single statement:
```dart
import 'package:krow_data_connect/krow_data_connect.dart';
// Now have access to:
// - StaffConnectorRepository
// - GetProfileCompletionUseCase
// - DataConnectService
// - StaffSessionStore
// etc.
```
## 5. Adding New Queries to Existing Connector
When backend adds `getStaffById()` query to staff connector:
### Step 1: Add to Interface
```dart
// staff_connector_repository.dart
abstract interface class StaffConnectorRepository {
Future<bool> getProfileCompletion();
// NEW: Add method signature
Future<Staff> getStaffById(String id);
}
```
### Step 2: Implement in Repository
```dart
// staff_connector_repository_impl.dart
class StaffConnectorRepositoryImpl implements StaffConnectorRepository {
// ... existing methods ...
// NEW: Implement method
@override
Future<Staff> getStaffById(String id) async {
return await _service.run(() async {
final response = await _service.connector
.getStaffById(id: id)
.execute();
return _mapToStaff(response.data.staff);
});
}
}
```
### Step 3: Create Use Case (Optional)
```dart
// get_staff_by_id_usecase.dart
class GetStaffByIdUseCase extends UseCase<Staff, String> {
final StaffConnectorRepository _repository;
GetStaffByIdUseCase({
required StaffConnectorRepository repository,
}) : _repository = repository;
@override
Future<Either<Failure, Staff>> call(String staffId) async {
try {
final staff = await _repository.getStaffById(staffId);
return Right(staff);
} on DataConnectException catch (e) {
return Left(ServerFailure(e.message));
}
}
}
```
### Step 4: Export
```dart
// krow_data_connect.dart
export 'src/connectors/staff/domain/usecases/get_staff_by_id_usecase.dart';
```
### Step 5: Use in Features
```dart
// Any feature can now use it
final staff = await i.get<StaffConnectorRepository>().getStaffById(id);
// Or via use case
final result = await i.get<GetStaffByIdUseCase>()(staffId);
```
## 6. Creating New Connector
When backend adds new connector (e.g., `notifications`):
### Step 1: Create Directory Structure
```bash
mkdir -p apps/mobile/packages/data_connect/lib/src/connectors/notifications
mkdir -p apps/mobile/packages/data_connect/lib/src/connectors/notifications/domain/repositories
mkdir -p apps/mobile/packages/data_connect/lib/src/connectors/notifications/domain/usecases
mkdir -p apps/mobile/packages/data_connect/lib/src/connectors/notifications/data/repositories
```
### Step 2: Define Domain Interface
```dart
// notifications_connector_repository.dart
abstract interface class NotificationsConnectorRepository {
Future<List<Notification>> getNotifications(String userId);
Future<void> markAsRead(String notificationId);
Future<int> getUnreadCount(String userId);
}
```
### Step 3: Create Use Cases
```dart
// get_notifications_usecase.dart
class GetNotificationsUseCase extends UseCase<List<Notification>, String> {
final NotificationsConnectorRepository _repository;
GetNotificationsUseCase({
required NotificationsConnectorRepository repository,
}) : _repository = repository;
@override
Future<Either<Failure, List<Notification>>> call(String userId) async {
try {
final notifications = await _repository.getNotifications(userId);
return Right(notifications);
} on DataConnectException catch (e) {
return Left(ServerFailure(e.message));
}
}
}
```
### Step 4: Implement Repository
```dart
// notifications_connector_repository_impl.dart
class NotificationsConnectorRepositoryImpl
implements NotificationsConnectorRepository {
final DataConnectService _service;
NotificationsConnectorRepositoryImpl({
DataConnectService? service,
}) : _service = service ?? DataConnectService.instance;
@override
Future<List<Notification>> getNotifications(String userId) async {
return await _service.run(() async {
final response = await _service.connector
.getNotifications(userId: userId)
.execute();
return response.data.notifications
.map(_mapToNotification)
.toList();
});
}
@override
Future<void> markAsRead(String notificationId) async {
return await _service.run(() async {
await _service.connector
.markNotificationAsRead(id: notificationId)
.execute();
});
}
@override
Future<int> getUnreadCount(String userId) async {
return await _service.run(() async {
final response = await _service.connector
.getUnreadNotificationCount(userId: userId)
.execute();
return response.data.count;
});
}
Notification _mapToNotification(dynamic data) {
return Notification(
id: data.id,
title: data.title,
message: data.message,
isRead: data.isRead,
createdAt: DateTime.parse(data.createdAt),
);
}
}
```
### Step 5: Export from Package
```dart
// krow_data_connect.dart
export 'src/connectors/notifications/domain/repositories/notifications_connector_repository.dart';
export 'src/connectors/notifications/domain/usecases/get_notifications_usecase.dart';
export 'src/connectors/notifications/data/repositories/notifications_connector_repository_impl.dart';
```
### Step 6: Features Use Immediately
```dart
// feature_module.dart
i.addSingleton<NotificationsConnectorRepository>(
NotificationsConnectorRepositoryImpl.new,
);
i.addSingleton(
() => GetNotificationsUseCase(
repository: i.get<NotificationsConnectorRepository>(),
),
);
```
## 7. Benefits Summary
### ✅ No Duplication
**Before:**
- `staff_main/data/repositories/` → implements profile completion query
- `profile/data/repositories/` → duplicates same query
- `onboarding/data/repositories/` → duplicates same query
**After:**
- `data_connect/connectors/staff/` → implements once
- All features use same connector repository
### ✅ Single Source of Truth
**Backend Change:** `getStaffProfileCompletion` query updated
**Before:**
- Update in 3+ feature repositories
- Risk of missing updates
- Inconsistent implementations
**After:**
- Update once in `StaffConnectorRepositoryImpl`
- All features automatically use new implementation
### ✅ Clean Separation
- **Connector Logic:** Query backend, map responses
- **Feature Logic:** Use cases, business rules, UI state
### ✅ Reusability
**Any feature can use any connector:**
```dart
// Feature A
i.get<StaffConnectorRepository>().getProfileCompletion()
// Feature B
i.get<StaffConnectorRepository>().getStaffById(id)
// Feature C
i.get<StaffConnectorRepository>().updateStaff(staff)
```
### ✅ Testability
**Mock connector repository to test features:**
```dart
class MockStaffConnectorRepository extends Mock
implements StaffConnectorRepository {}
final mockRepo = MockStaffConnectorRepository();
when(mockRepo.getProfileCompletion()).thenAnswer((_) async => true);
final useCase = GetProfileCompletionUseCase(repository: mockRepo);
```
### ✅ Scalability
Easy to add new connectors as backend grows:
- Backend adds `payments` connector → Mobile adds `payments/` folder
- Backend adds `messaging` connector → Mobile adds `messaging/` folder
- Pattern scales indefinitely
### ✅ Mirrors Backend
Mobile structure mirrors backend structure, making it intuitive:
```
backend/dataconnect/connector/staff/
↕️
data_connect/connectors/staff/
```
## 8. Anti-Patterns to Avoid
### ❌ DON'T: Implement Queries in Feature Repositories
```dart
// ❌ BAD: Feature-specific repository querying backend directly
class ProfileRepositoryImpl implements ProfileRepositoryInterface {
Future<Staff> getProfile() async {
// Directly querying Data Connect
final response = await FirebaseDataConnect.instance
.getStaffById(id: id)
.execute();
return Staff(...);
}
}
```
**Problem:** Duplicated across multiple features, no reusability.
### ❌ DON'T: Duplicate Queries Across Features
```dart
// ❌ BAD: Same query in multiple features
// staff_main/data/repositories/profile_repository_impl.dart
Future<bool> checkProfileCompletion() { /*...*/ }
// profile/data/repositories/profile_repository_impl.dart
Future<bool> checkProfileCompletion() { /*...*/ }
// onboarding/data/repositories/onboarding_repository_impl.dart
Future<bool> checkProfileCompletion() { /*...*/ }
```
**Problem:** 3x duplication, 3x maintenance, 3x bug risk.
### ❌ DON'T: Put Mapping Logic in Features
```dart
// ❌ BAD: Feature doing data transformation
class ProfileCubit extends Cubit<ProfileState> {
Future<void> loadProfile() async {
final response = await connector.getStaff();
// Mapping logic in BLoC
final staff = Staff(
id: response.data.staff.id,
name: response.data.staff.name,
);
}
}
```
**Problem:** Violates Clean Architecture, duplicated mapping logic.
### ❌ DON'T: Call DataConnectService Directly from BLoCs
```dart
// ❌ BAD: BLoC bypassing repository layer
class ProfileCubit extends Cubit<ProfileState> {
Future<void> loadProfile() async {
final response = await DataConnectService.instance.connector
.getStaffById(id: id)
.execute();
}
}
```
**Problem:** No abstraction, no testability, tight coupling.
### ✅ DO: Use Connector Repositories Through Use Cases
```dart
// ✅ GOOD: Clean Architecture flow
Feature BLoC Use Case Connector Repository Data Connect Service Backend
```
## 9. Current Implementation
### Staff Connector
**Location:** `apps/mobile/packages/data_connect/lib/src/connectors/staff/`
**Available Queries:**
- `getProfileCompletion()` - Returns bool indicating if profile complete
- Checks: personal info, emergency contacts, tax forms, experience
**Used By:**
- `staff_main` - Guards bottom nav items requiring profile completion
- `profile` - Displays completion status
- `onboarding` - Checks if onboarding needed
**Backend Queries:**
- `backend/dataconnect/connector/staff/queries/profile_completion.gql`
### Shifts Connector
**Location:** `apps/mobile/packages/data_connect/lib/src/connectors/shifts/`
**Available Queries:**
- `listShiftRolesByVendorId()` - Fetches shifts with status mapping
- `applyForShifts()` - Handles shift application with error tracking
**Used By:**
- `shifts` feature - Displays available shifts
- `shift_details` feature - Shows shift information
**Backend Queries:**
- `backend/dataconnect/connector/shifts/queries/list_shift_roles_by_vendor.gql`
- `backend/dataconnect/connector/shifts/mutations/apply_for_shifts.gql`
## 10. Future Expansion
As app grows, additional connectors will be added:
**Planned Connectors:**
- `order_connector_repository` - From `backend/dataconnect/connector/order/`
- `user_connector_repository` - From `backend/dataconnect/connector/user/`
- `emergency_contact_connector_repository` - From `backend/dataconnect/connector/emergencyContact/`
- `documents_connector_repository` - From `backend/dataconnect/connector/documents/`
- `payments_connector_repository` - From `backend/dataconnect/connector/payments/`
Each following the same Clean Architecture pattern.
## Summary
**Core Pattern:**
1. **Mirror Backend:** Connector structure mirrors backend connector structure
2. **Clean Architecture:** Domain interfaces → Data implementations
3. **Centralized:** All backend queries in one place per connector
4. **Reusable:** Any feature can use any connector via dependency injection
5. **Single Source:** Backend change → update one repository
6. **Type Safe:** Uses Data Connect generated types
**Implementation Flow:**
```
Feature Module registers connector repository
Feature Use Case uses connector repository
Connector Repository uses DataConnectService.run()
DataConnectService executes Data Connect query
Repository maps response to Domain entity
Use Case returns Result to BLoC
BLoC emits state to UI
```
**When implementing features:**
1. Identify which backend connector you need (staff, order, shifts, etc.)
2. Use corresponding connector repository from `data_connect`
3. Register in feature module via dependency injection
4. BLoC uses connector repository through use cases
5. Don't create feature-specific repositories for backend queries
**When backend adds queries:**
1. Add to appropriate connector repository interface
2. Implement in connector repository implementation
3. Features automatically have access via dependency injection
The connector pattern eliminates duplication, ensures consistency, and scales as the backend grows. Always use connectors for backend access, never query Data Connect directly from features.

# KROW Mobile Design System Usage
This skill defines mandatory standards for UI implementation using the shared `apps/mobile/packages/design_system`. All UI must consume design system tokens exclusively.
## When to Use This Skill
- Implementing any UI in mobile features
- Migrating POC/prototype designs to production
- Creating new themed widgets or components
- Reviewing UI code for design system compliance
- Matching colors and typography from designs
- Adding icons, spacing, or layout elements
- Setting up theme configuration in apps
- Refactoring UI code with hardcoded values
## Core Principle
**Design tokens (colors, typography, spacing) are IMMUTABLE and defined centrally.**
Features consume tokens but NEVER modify them. The design system maintains visual coherence across all apps.
## 1. Design System Ownership
### Centralized Authority
- `apps/mobile/packages/design_system` owns:
- All brand assets
- Colors and semantic color mappings
- Typography and font configurations
- Core UI components
- Icons and images
- Spacing, radius, elevation constants
### No Local Overrides
**✅ CORRECT:**
```dart
// Feature uses design system
import 'package:design_system/design_system.dart';
Container(
color: UiColors.background,
padding: EdgeInsets.all(UiConstants.spacingL),
child: Text(
'Hello',
style: UiTypography.display1m,
),
)
```
**❌ FORBIDDEN:**
```dart
// ❌ Custom colors in feature
const myBlue = Color(0xFF1A2234);
// ❌ Custom text styles in feature
const myStyle = TextStyle(fontSize: 24, fontWeight: FontWeight.bold);
// ❌ Theme overrides in feature
Theme(
data: ThemeData(primaryColor: Colors.blue),
child: MyWidget(),
)
```
### Extension Policy
If a required style is missing:
1. **FIRST:** Add it to `design_system` following existing patterns
2. **THEN:** Use it in your feature
**DO NOT** create temporary workarounds with hardcoded values.
## 2. Package Structure

```
## 3. Colors Usage Rules
### Strict Protocol
**✅ DO:**
```dart
// Use UiColors for all color needs
Container(color: UiColors.background)
Text('Hello', style: TextStyle(color: UiColors.foreground))
Icon(Icons.home, color: UiColors.primary)
```
**❌ DON'T:**
```dart
// ❌ Hardcoded hex colors
Container(color: Color(0xFF1A2234))
// ❌ Material color constants
Container(color: Colors.blue)
// ❌ Opacity on hardcoded colors
Container(color: Color(0xFF1A2234).withOpacity(0.5))
```
### Available Color Categories
**Brand Colors:**
- `UiColors.primary` - Main brand color
- `UiColors.secondary` - Secondary brand color
- `UiColors.accent` - Accent highlights
**Semantic Colors:**
- `UiColors.background` - Page background
- `UiColors.foreground` - Primary text color
- `UiColors.card` - Card/container background
- `UiColors.border` - Border colors
- `UiColors.mutedForeground` - Secondary text
**Status Colors:**
- `UiColors.success` - Success states
- `UiColors.warning` - Warning states
- `UiColors.error` - Error states
- `UiColors.info` - Information states
### Color Matching from POCs
When migrating POC designs:
1. **Find closest match** in `UiColors`
2. **Use existing color** even if slightly different
3. **DO NOT add new colors** without design team approval
**Example Process:**
```dart
// POC has: Color(0xFF2C3E50)
// Find closest: UiColors.background or UiColors.card
// Use: UiColors.card
// POC has: Color(0xFF27AE60)
// Find closest: UiColors.success
// Use: UiColors.success
```
### Theme Access
Colors can also be accessed via theme:
```dart
// Both are valid:
Container(color: UiColors.primary)
Container(color: Theme.of(context).colorScheme.primary)
```
## 4. Typography Usage Rules
### Strict Protocol
**✅ DO:**
```dart
// Use UiTypography for all text
Text('Title', style: UiTypography.display1m)
Text('Body', style: UiTypography.body1r)
Text('Label', style: UiTypography.caption1m)
```
**❌ DON'T:**
```dart
// ❌ Custom TextStyle
Text('Title', style: TextStyle(
fontSize: 24,
fontWeight: FontWeight.bold,
))
// ❌ Manual font configuration
Text('Body', style: TextStyle(
fontFamily: 'Inter',
fontSize: 16,
))
// ❌ Modifying existing styles inline
Text('Title', style: UiTypography.display1m.copyWith(
fontSize: 28, // ← Don't override size
))
```
### Available Typography Styles
**Display Styles (Large Headers):**
- `UiTypography.display1m` - Display Medium
- `UiTypography.display1sb` - Display Semi-Bold
- `UiTypography.display1b` - Display Bold
**Heading Styles:**
- `UiTypography.heading1m` - H1 Medium
- `UiTypography.heading1sb` - H1 Semi-Bold
- `UiTypography.heading1b` - H1 Bold
- `UiTypography.heading2m` - H2 Medium
- `UiTypography.heading2sb` - H2 Semi-Bold
**Body Styles:**
- `UiTypography.body1r` - Body Regular
- `UiTypography.body1m` - Body Medium
- `UiTypography.body1sb` - Body Semi-Bold
- `UiTypography.body2r` - Body 2 Regular
**Caption/Label Styles:**
- `UiTypography.caption1m` - Caption Medium
- `UiTypography.caption1sb` - Caption Semi-Bold
- `UiTypography.label1m` - Label Medium
### Allowed Customizations
**✅ ALLOWED (Color Only):**
```dart
// You MAY change color
Text(
'Title',
style: UiTypography.display1m.copyWith(
color: UiColors.error, // ← OK
),
)
```
**❌ FORBIDDEN (Size, Weight, Family):**
```dart
// ❌ Don't change size
Text(
'Title',
style: UiTypography.display1m.copyWith(fontSize: 28),
)
// ❌ Don't change weight
Text(
'Title',
style: UiTypography.display1m.copyWith(fontWeight: FontWeight.w900),
)
// ❌ Don't change family
Text(
'Title',
style: UiTypography.display1m.copyWith(fontFamily: 'Roboto'),
)
```
### Typography Matching from POCs
When migrating:
1. Identify text role (heading, body, caption)
2. Find closest matching style in `UiTypography`
3. Use existing style even if size/weight differs slightly
## 5. Icons Usage Rules
### Strict Protocol
**✅ DO:**
```dart
// Use UiIcons
Icon(UiIcons.home)
Icon(UiIcons.profile)
Icon(UiIcons.chevronLeft)
```
**❌ DON'T:**
```dart
// ❌ Direct icon library imports
import 'package:lucide_icons/lucide_icons.dart';
Icon(LucideIcons.home)
// ❌ Font Awesome direct
import 'package:font_awesome_flutter/font_awesome_flutter.dart';
FaIcon(FontAwesomeIcons.house)
```
### Why Centralize Icons?
1. **Consistency:** Same icon for same action everywhere
2. **Branding:** Unified icon set with consistent stroke weight
3. **Swappability:** Change icon library in one place
### Icon Libraries
Design system uses:
- `typedef _IconLib = LucideIcons;` (primary)
- `typedef _IconLib2 = FontAwesomeIcons;` (secondary)
**Features MUST NOT import these directly.**
### Adding New Icons
If icon missing:
1. Add to `ui_icons.dart`:
```dart
class UiIcons {
static const home = _IconLib.home;
static const newIcon = _IconLib.newIcon; // Add here
}
```
2. Use in feature:
```dart
Icon(UiIcons.newIcon)
```
## 6. Spacing & Layout Constants
### Strict Protocol
**✅ DO:**
```dart
// Use UiConstants for spacing
Padding(padding: EdgeInsets.all(UiConstants.spacingL))
SizedBox(height: UiConstants.spacingM)
Container(
padding: EdgeInsets.symmetric(
horizontal: UiConstants.spacingL,
vertical: UiConstants.spacingM,
),
)
// Use UiConstants for radius
Container(
decoration: BoxDecoration(
borderRadius: BorderRadius.circular(UiConstants.radiusM),
),
)
// Use UiConstants for elevation
elevation: UiConstants.elevationLow
```
**❌ DON'T:**
```dart
// ❌ Magic numbers
Padding(padding: EdgeInsets.all(16.0))
SizedBox(height: 24.0)
BorderRadius.circular(8.0)
elevation: 2.0
```
### Available Constants
**Spacing:**
```dart
UiConstants.spacingXs // Extra small
UiConstants.spacingS // Small
UiConstants.spacingM // Medium
UiConstants.spacingL // Large
UiConstants.spacingXl // Extra large
UiConstants.spacing2xl // 2x Extra large
```
**Border Radius:**
```dart
UiConstants.radiusS // Small
UiConstants.radiusM // Medium
UiConstants.radiusL // Large
UiConstants.radiusXl // Extra large
UiConstants.radiusFull // Fully rounded
```
**Elevation:**
```dart
UiConstants.elevationNone
UiConstants.elevationLow
UiConstants.elevationMedium
UiConstants.elevationHigh
```
## 7. Smart Widgets Usage
### When to Use
- **Prefer standard Flutter Material widgets** styled via theme
- **Use design system widgets** for non-standard patterns
- **Create new widgets** in design system if reused >3 features
### Navigation in Widgets
Widgets with navigation MUST use safe methods:
**✅ CORRECT:**
```dart
// In UiAppBar back button:
import 'package:flutter_modular/flutter_modular.dart';
import 'package:krow_core/krow_core.dart';
IconButton(
icon: Icon(UiIcons.chevronLeft),
onPressed: () => Modular.to.popSafe(), // ← Safe pop
)
```
**❌ FORBIDDEN:**
```dart
// ❌ Direct Navigator
IconButton(
icon: Icon(UiIcons.chevronLeft),
onPressed: () => Navigator.pop(context),
)
// ❌ Unsafe Modular
IconButton(
icon: Icon(UiIcons.chevronLeft),
onPressed: () => Modular.to.pop(), // Can crash
)
```
### Composition Over Inheritance
**✅ CORRECT:**
```dart
// Compose standard widgets
Container(
padding: EdgeInsets.all(UiConstants.spacingL),
decoration: BoxDecoration(
color: UiColors.card,
borderRadius: BorderRadius.circular(UiConstants.radiusM),
),
child: Column(
children: [
Text('Title', style: UiTypography.heading1sb),
SizedBox(height: UiConstants.spacingM),
Text('Body', style: UiTypography.body1r),
],
),
)
```
**❌ AVOID:**
```dart
// ❌ Deep custom widget hierarchies
class CustomCard extends StatelessWidget {
// Complex custom implementation
}
```
## 8. Theme Configuration
### App Setup
Apps initialize theme ONCE in root MaterialApp:
**✅ CORRECT:**
```dart
// apps/mobile/apps/staff/lib/app_widget.dart
import 'package:design_system/design_system.dart';
class StaffApp extends StatelessWidget {
@override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
return MaterialApp.router(
theme: StaffTheme.light, // ← Design system theme
darkTheme: StaffTheme.dark, // ← Optional dark mode
themeMode: ThemeMode.system,
// ...
);
}
}
```
**❌ FORBIDDEN:**
```dart
// ❌ Custom theme in app
MaterialApp.router(
theme: ThemeData(
primaryColor: Colors.blue, // ← NO!
),
)
// ❌ Theme override in feature
Theme(
data: ThemeData(...),
child: MyFeatureWidget(),
)
```
### Accessing Theme
**Both methods valid:**
```dart
// Method 1: Direct design system import
import 'package:design_system/design_system.dart';
Text('Hello', style: UiTypography.body1r)
// Method 2: Via theme context
Text('Hello', style: Theme.of(context).textTheme.bodyMedium)
```
**Prefer Method 1** for explicit type safety.
## 9. POC → Production Workflow
### Step 1: Implement Structure (POC Matching)
Implement UI layout exactly matching POC:
```dart
// Temporary: Match POC visually
Container(
color: Color(0xFF1A2234), // ← POC color
padding: EdgeInsets.all(16.0), // ← POC spacing
child: Text(
'Title',
style: TextStyle(fontSize: 24, fontWeight: FontWeight.bold), // ← POC style
),
)
```
**Purpose:** Ensure visual parity with POC before refactoring.
### Step 2: Architecture Refactor
Move to Clean Architecture:
- Extract business logic to use cases
- Move state management to BLoCs
- Implement repository pattern
- Use dependency injection
### Step 3: Design System Integration
Replace hardcoded values:
```dart
// Production: Design system tokens
Container(
color: UiColors.background, // ← Found closest match
padding: EdgeInsets.all(UiConstants.spacingL), // ← Used constant
child: Text(
'Title',
style: UiTypography.heading1sb, // ← Matched typography
),
)
```
**Color Matching:**
- POC `#1A2234``UiColors.background`
- POC `#3498DB``UiColors.primary`
- POC `#27AE60``UiColors.success`
**Typography Matching:**
- POC `24px bold``UiTypography.heading1sb`
- POC `16px regular``UiTypography.body1r`
- POC `14px medium``UiTypography.caption1m`
**Spacing Matching:**
- POC `16px``UiConstants.spacingL`
- POC `8px``UiConstants.spacingM`
- POC `4px``UiConstants.spacingS`
## 10. Anti-Patterns & Common Mistakes
### ❌ Magic Numbers
```dart
// BAD
EdgeInsets.all(12.0)
SizedBox(height: 24.0)
BorderRadius.circular(8.0)
// GOOD
EdgeInsets.all(UiConstants.spacingM)
SizedBox(height: UiConstants.spacingL)
BorderRadius.circular(UiConstants.radiusM)
```
### ❌ Local Themes
```dart
// BAD
Theme(
data: ThemeData(primaryColor: Colors.blue),
child: MyWidget(),
)
// GOOD
// Use global theme defined in app
```
### ❌ Hex Hunting
```dart
// BAD: Copy-paste from Figma
Container(color: Color(0xFF3498DB))
// GOOD: Find matching design system color
Container(color: UiColors.primary)
```
### ❌ Direct Icon Library
```dart
// BAD
import 'package:lucide_icons/lucide_icons.dart';
Icon(LucideIcons.home)
// GOOD
Icon(UiIcons.home)
```
### ❌ Custom Text Styles
```dart
// BAD
Text('Title', style: TextStyle(
fontSize: 24,
fontWeight: FontWeight.bold,
fontFamily: 'Inter',
))
// GOOD
Text('Title', style: UiTypography.heading1sb)
```
## 11. Design System Review Checklist
Before merging UI code:
### ✅ Design System Compliance
- [ ] No hardcoded `Color(...)` or `0xFF...` hex values
- [ ] No custom `TextStyle(...)` definitions
- [ ] All spacing uses `UiConstants.spacing*`
- [ ] All radius uses `UiConstants.radius*`
- [ ] All elevation uses `UiConstants.elevation*`
- [ ] All icons from `UiIcons`, not direct library imports
- [ ] Theme consumed from design system, no local overrides
- [ ] Layout matches POC intent using design system primitives
### ✅ Architecture Compliance
- [ ] No business logic in widgets
- [ ] State managed by BLoCs
- [ ] Navigation uses Modular safe extensions
- [ ] Localization used for all text (no hardcoded strings)
- [ ] No direct Data Connect queries in widgets
### ✅ Code Quality
- [ ] Widget build methods concise (<50 lines)
- [ ] Complex widgets extracted to separate files
- [ ] Meaningful widget names
- [ ] Doc comments on reusable widgets
## 12. When to Extend Design System
### Add New Color
**When:** New brand color approved by design team
**Process:**
1. Add to `ui_colors.dart`:
```dart
class UiColors {
static const myNewColor = Color(0xFF123456);
}
```
2. Update theme if needed
3. Use in features
### Add New Typography Style
**When:** New text style pattern emerges across multiple features
**Process:**
1. Add to `ui_typography.dart`:
```dart
class UiTypography {
static const myNewStyle = TextStyle(
fontSize: 20,
fontWeight: FontWeight.w600,
fontFamily: _fontFamily,
);
}
```
2. Use in features
### Add Shared Widget
**When:** Widget reused in 3+ features
**Process:**
1. Create in `lib/src/widgets/`:
```dart
// my_widget.dart
class MyWidget extends StatelessWidget {
// Implementation using design system tokens
}
```
2. Export from `design_system.dart`
3. Use across features
## Summary
**Core Rules:**
1. **All colors from `UiColors`** - Zero hex codes in features
2. **All typography from `UiTypography`** - Zero custom TextStyle
3. **All spacing/radius/elevation from `UiConstants`** - Zero magic numbers
4. **All icons from `UiIcons`** - Zero direct library imports
5. **Theme defined once** in app entry point
6. **POC → Production** requires design system integration step
**The Golden Rule:** Design system is immutable. Features adapt to the system, not the other way around.
When implementing UI:
1. Import `package:design_system/design_system.dart`
2. Use design system tokens exclusively
3. Match POC intent with available tokens
4. Request new tokens only when truly necessary
5. Never create temporary hardcoded workarounds
Visual consistency is non-negotiable. Every pixel must come from the design system.

description: Enforce KROW mobile app development standards including file structure, naming conventions, logic placement boundaries, localization, Data Connect integration, and prototype migration rules. Use this skill whenever working on KROW Flutter mobile features, creating new packages, implementing BLoCs, integrating with backend, or migrating from prototypes. Critical for maintaining clean architecture and preventing architectural degradation.
---
# KROW Mobile Development Rules
These rules are **NON-NEGOTIABLE** enforcement guidelines for the KROW mobile application. They prevent architectural degradation and ensure consistency across the codebase.
## When to Use This Skill
- Creating new mobile features or packages
- Implementing BLoCs, Use Cases, or Repositories
- Integrating with Firebase Data Connect backend
- Migrating code from prototypes
- Reviewing mobile code for compliance
- Setting up new feature modules
- Handling user sessions and authentication
- Implementing navigation flows
## 1. File Creation & Package Structure
### Feature-First Packaging
**✅ DO:**
- Create new features as independent packages:
```
apps/mobile/packages/features/<app_name>/<feature_name>/
├── lib/
│ ├── src/
│ │ ├── domain/
│ │ │ ├── repositories/
│ │ │ └── usecases/
│ │ ├── data/
│ │ │ └── repositories_impl/
│ │ └── presentation/
│ │ ├── blocs/
│ │ ├── pages/
│ │ └── widgets/
│ └── <feature_name>.dart # Barrel file
└── pubspec.yaml
```
**❌ DON'T:**
- Add features to `apps/mobile/packages/core` directly
- Create files in app directories (`apps/mobile/apps/client/` or `apps/mobile/apps/staff/`)
- Create cross-feature or cross-app dependencies (features must not import other features)
### Path Conventions (Strict)
Follow these exact paths:
| Layer | Path Pattern | Example |
|-------|-------------|---------|
| **Entities** | `apps/mobile/packages/domain/lib/src/entities/<entity>.dart` | `user.dart`, `shift.dart` |
| **Repository Interface** | `.../features/<app>/<feature>/lib/src/domain/repositories/<name>_repository_interface.dart` | `auth_repository_interface.dart` |
| **Repository Impl** | `.../features/<app>/<feature>/lib/src/data/repositories_impl/<name>_repository_impl.dart` | `auth_repository_impl.dart` |
| **Use Cases** | `.../features/<app>/<feature>/lib/src/application/<name>_usecase.dart` | `login_usecase.dart` |
| **BLoCs** | `.../features/<app>/<feature>/lib/src/presentation/blocs/<name>_bloc.dart` | `auth_bloc.dart` |
| **Pages** | `.../features/<app>/<feature>/lib/src/presentation/pages/<name>_page.dart` | `login_page.dart` |
| **Widgets** | `.../features/<app>/<feature>/lib/src/presentation/widgets/<name>_widget.dart` | `password_field.dart` |
### Barrel Files
**✅ DO:**
```dart
// lib/auth_feature.dart
export 'src/presentation/pages/login_page.dart';
export 'src/domain/repositories/auth_repository_interface.dart';
// Only export PUBLIC API
```
**❌ DON'T:**
```dart
// Don't export internal implementation details
export 'src/data/repositories_impl/auth_repository_impl.dart';
export 'src/presentation/blocs/auth_bloc.dart';
```
## 2. Naming Conventions (Dart Standard)
| Type | Convention | Example | File Name |
|------|-----------|---------|-----------|
| **Files** | `snake_case` | `user_profile_page.dart` | - |
| **Classes** | `PascalCase` | `UserProfilePage` | - |
| **Variables** | `camelCase` | `userProfile` | - |
| **Interfaces** | End with `Interface` | `AuthRepositoryInterface` | `auth_repository_interface.dart` |
| **Implementations** | End with `Impl` | `AuthRepositoryImpl` | `auth_repository_impl.dart` |
| **BLoCs** | End with `Bloc` or `Cubit` | `AuthBloc`, `ProfileCubit` | `auth_bloc.dart` |
| **Use Cases** | End with `UseCase` | `LoginUseCase` | `login_usecase.dart` |
## 3. Logic Placement (Zero Tolerance Boundaries)
### Business Rules → Use Cases ONLY
**✅ CORRECT:**
```dart
// login_usecase.dart
class LoginUseCase extends UseCase<User, LoginParams> {
@override
Future<Either<Failure, User>> call(LoginParams params) async {
// Business logic here: validation, transformation, orchestration
if (params.email.isEmpty) {
return Left(ValidationFailure('Email required'));
}
return await repository.login(params);
}
}
```
**❌ FORBIDDEN:**
```dart
// ❌ Business logic in BLoC
class AuthBloc extends Bloc<AuthEvent, AuthState> {
on<LoginRequested>((event, emit) {
if (event.email.isEmpty) { // ← NO! This is business logic
emit(AuthError('Email required'));
}
});
}
// ❌ Business logic in Widget
class LoginPage extends StatelessWidget {
void _login() {
if (_emailController.text.isEmpty) { // ← NO! This is business logic
showSnackbar('Email required');
}
}
}
```
### State Logic → BLoCs ONLY
**✅ CORRECT:**
```dart
// auth_bloc.dart
class AuthBloc extends Bloc<AuthEvent, AuthState> {
on<LoginRequested>((event, emit) async {
emit(AuthLoading());
final result = await loginUseCase(LoginParams(email: event.email));
result.fold(
(failure) => emit(AuthError(failure)),
(user) => emit(AuthAuthenticated(user)),
);
});
}
// login_page.dart (StatelessWidget)
class LoginPage extends StatelessWidget {
@override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
return BlocBuilder<AuthBloc, AuthState>(
builder: (context, state) {
if (state is AuthLoading) return LoadingIndicator();
if (state is AuthError) return ErrorWidget(state.message);
return LoginForm();
},
);
}
}
```
**❌ FORBIDDEN:**
```dart
// ❌ setState in Pages for complex state
class LoginPage extends StatefulWidget {
@override
State<LoginPage> createState() => _LoginPageState();
}
class _LoginPageState extends State<LoginPage> {
bool _isLoading = false; // ← NO! Use BLoC
String? _error; // ← NO! Use BLoC
void _login() {
setState(() => _isLoading = true); // ← NO! Use BLoC
}
}
```
**RECOMMENDATION:** Pages should be `StatelessWidget` with state delegated to BLoCs.
### Data Transformation → Repositories
**✅ CORRECT:**
```dart
// profile_repository_impl.dart
class ProfileRepositoryImpl implements ProfileRepositoryInterface {
@override
Future<Staff> getProfile(String id) async {
final response = await dataConnect.getStaffById(id: id).execute();
// Data transformation happens here
return Staff(
id: response.data.staff.id,
name: response.data.staff.name,
// Map Data Connect model to Domain entity
);
}
}
```
**❌ FORBIDDEN:**
```dart
// ❌ JSON parsing in UI
class ProfilePage extends StatelessWidget {
@override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
final json = jsonDecode(response.body); // ← NO!
final name = json['name'];
}
}
// ❌ JSON parsing in Domain Use Case
class GetProfileUseCase extends UseCase<Staff, String> {
@override
Future<Either<Failure, Staff>> call(String id) async {
final response = await http.get('/staff/$id');
final json = jsonDecode(response.body); // ← NO!
}
}
```
### Navigation → Flutter Modular + Safe Extensions
**✅ CORRECT:**
```dart
// Use Safe Navigation Extensions
import 'package:krow_core/krow_core.dart';
// In widget/BLoC:
Modular.to.safePush('/profile');
Modular.to.safeNavigate('/home');
Modular.to.popSafe();
// Even better: Use Typed Navigators
Modular.to.toStaffHome(); // Defined in StaffNavigator
Modular.to.toShiftDetails(shiftId: '123');
```
**❌ FORBIDDEN:**
```dart
// ❌ Direct Navigator.push
Navigator.push(
context,
MaterialPageRoute(builder: (_) => ProfilePage()),
);
// ❌ Direct Modular navigation without safety
Modular.to.navigate('/profile'); // ← Can cause blank screens
Modular.to.pop(); // ← Can crash if stack is empty
```
**PATTERN:** All navigation MUST have fallback to Home page. Safe extensions automatically handle this.
### Session Management → DataConnectService + SessionHandlerMixin
**✅ CORRECT:**
```dart
// In main.dart:
void main() async {
WidgetsFlutterBinding.ensureInitialized();
// Initialize session listener (pick allowed roles for app)
DataConnectService.instance.initializeAuthListener(
allowedRoles: ['STAFF', 'BOTH'], // for staff app
);
runApp(
SessionListener( // Wraps entire app
child: ModularApp(module: AppModule(), child: AppWidget()),
),
);
}
// In repository:
class ProfileRepositoryImpl implements ProfileRepositoryInterface {
final DataConnectService _service = DataConnectService.instance;
@override
Future<Staff> getProfile(String id) async {
// _service.run() handles:
// - Auth validation
// - Token refresh (if <5 min to expiry)
// - Error handling with 3 retries
return await _service.run(() async {
final response = await _service.connector
.getStaffById(id: id)
.execute();
return _mapToStaff(response.data.staff);
});
}
}
```
**PATTERN:**
- **SessionListener** widget wraps app and shows dialogs for session errors
- **SessionHandlerMixin** in `DataConnectService` provides automatic token refresh
- **3-attempt retry logic** with exponential backoff (1s → 2s → 4s)
- **Role validation** configurable per app
## 4. Localization Integration (core_localization)
All user-facing text MUST be localized.
### String Management
**✅ CORRECT:**
```dart
// In presentation layer:
import 'package:core_localization/core_localization.dart';
class LoginPage extends StatelessWidget {
@override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
return Text(context.strings.loginButton); // ← From localization
return ElevatedButton(
onPressed: _login,
child: Text(context.strings.submit),
);
}
}
```
**❌ FORBIDDEN:**
```dart
// ❌ Hardcoded English strings
Text('Login')
Text('Submit')
ElevatedButton(child: Text('Click here'))
```
### BLoC Integration
**✅ CORRECT:**
```dart
// BLoCs emit domain failures (not localized strings)
class AuthBloc extends Bloc<AuthEvent, AuthState> {
on<LoginRequested>((event, emit) async {
final result = await loginUseCase(params);
result.fold(
(failure) => emit(AuthError(failure)), // ← Domain failure
(user) => emit(AuthAuthenticated(user)),
);
});
}
// UI translates failures to user-friendly messages
class LoginPage extends StatelessWidget {
@override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
return BlocBuilder<AuthBloc, AuthState>(
builder: (context, state) {
if (state is AuthError) {
final message = ErrorTranslator.translate(
state.failure,
context.strings,
);
return ErrorWidget(message); // ← Localized
}
},
);
}
}
```
### App Setup
Apps must import `LocalizationModule()`:
```dart
// app_module.dart
class AppModule extends Module {
@override
List<Module> get imports => [
LocalizationModule(), // ← Required
DataConnectModule(),
];
}
// main.dart
runApp(
BlocProvider<LocaleBloc>( // ← Expose locale state
create: (_) => Modular.get<LocaleBloc>(),
child: TranslationProvider( // ← Enable context.strings
child: MaterialApp.router(...),
),
),
);
```
## 5. Data Connect Integration
All backend access goes through `DataConnectService`.
### Repository Pattern
**Step 1:** Define interface in feature domain:
```dart
// domain/repositories/profile_repository_interface.dart
abstract interface class ProfileRepositoryInterface {
Future<Staff> getProfile(String id);
Future<bool> updateProfile(Staff profile);
}
```
**Step 2:** Implement using `DataConnectService.run()`:
```dart
// data/repositories_impl/profile_repository_impl.dart
class ProfileRepositoryImpl implements ProfileRepositoryInterface {
final DataConnectService _service = DataConnectService.instance;
@override
Future<Staff> getProfile(String id) async {
return await _service.run(() async {
final response = await _service.connector
.getStaffById(id: id)
.execute();
return _mapToStaff(response.data.staff);
});
}
}
```
**Benefits of `_service.run()`:**
- ✅ Automatic auth validation
- ✅ Token refresh if needed
- ✅ 3-attempt retry with exponential backoff
- ✅ Consistent error handling
### Session Store Pattern
After successful auth, populate session stores:
```dart
// For Staff App:
StaffSessionStore.instance.setSession(
StaffSession(
user: user,
staff: staff,
ownerId: ownerId,
),
);
// For Client App:
ClientSessionStore.instance.setSession(
ClientSession(
user: user,
business: business,
),
);
```
**Lazy Loading:** If session is null, fetch via `getStaffById()` or `getBusinessById()` and update store.
## 6. Prototype Migration Rules
When migrating from `prototypes/`:
### ✅ MAY Copy
- Icons, images, assets (but match to design system)
- `build` methods for UI layout structure
- Screen flow and navigation patterns
### ❌ MUST REJECT & REFACTOR
- `GetX`, `Provider`, or `MVC` patterns
- Any state management not using BLoC
- Direct HTTP calls (must use Data Connect)
- Hardcoded colors/typography (must use design system)
- Global state variables
- Navigation without Modular
### Colors & Typography Migration
**When matching POC to production:**
1. Find closest color in `UiColors` (don't add new colors without approval)
2. Find closest text style in `UiTypography`
3. Use design system constants, NOT POC hardcoded values
**DO NOT change the design system itself.** Colors and typography are FINAL. Match your feature to the system, not the other way around.
## 7. Handling Ambiguity
If requirements are unclear:
1. **STOP** - Don't guess domain fields or workflows
2. **ANALYZE** - Refer to:
- Architecture: `apps/mobile/docs/01-architecture-principles.md`
- Design System: `apps/mobile/docs/02-design-system-usage.md`
- Existing features for patterns
3. **DOCUMENT** - Add `// ASSUMPTION: <explanation>` if you must proceed
4. **ASK** - Prefer asking user for clarification on business rules
## 8. Dependencies
### DO NOT
- Add 3rd party packages without checking `apps/mobile/packages/core` first
- Add `firebase_auth` or `firebase_data_connect` to Feature packages (they belong in `data_connect` only)
- Use `addSingleton` for BLoCs (always use `add` method in Modular)
### DO
- Use `DataConnectService.instance` for backend operations
- Use Flutter Modular for dependency injection
- Register BLoCs with `i.addSingleton<CubitType>(() => CubitType(...))`
- Register Use Cases as factories or singletons as needed
## 9. Error Handling Pattern
### Domain Failures
```dart
// domain/failures/auth_failure.dart
abstract class AuthFailure extends Failure {
const AuthFailure(String message) : super(message);
}
class InvalidCredentialsFailure extends AuthFailure {
const InvalidCredentialsFailure() : super('Invalid credentials');
}
```
### Repository Error Mapping
```dart
// Map Data Connect exceptions to Domain failures
try {
final response = await dataConnect.query();
return Right(response);
} on DataConnectException catch (e) {
if (e.message.contains('unauthorized')) {
return Left(InvalidCredentialsFailure());
}
return Left(ServerFailure(e.message));
}
```
### UI Feedback
```dart
// BLoC emits error state
emit(AuthError(failure));
// UI shows user-friendly message
if (state is AuthError) {
final message = ErrorTranslator.translate(state.failure, context.strings);
ScaffoldMessenger.of(context).showSnackBar(
SnackBar(content: Text(message)),
);
}
```
### Session Errors
`SessionListener` automatically shows dialogs for:
- Session expiration
- Token refresh failures
- Network errors during auth
## 10. Testing Requirements
### Unit Tests
```dart
// Test use cases with real repository implementations
test('login with valid credentials returns user', () async {
final useCase = LoginUseCase(repository: mockRepository);
final result = await useCase(LoginParams(email: 'test@test.com'));
expect(result.isRight(), true);
});
```
### Widget Tests
```dart
// Test UI widgets and BLoC interactions
testWidgets('shows loading indicator when logging in', (tester) async {
await tester.pumpWidget(
BlocProvider<AuthBloc>(
create: (_) => authBloc,
child: LoginPage(),
),
);
authBloc.add(LoginRequested(email: 'test@test.com'));
await tester.pump();
expect(find.byType(LoadingIndicator), findsOneWidget);
});
```
### Integration Tests
- Test full feature flows end-to-end with Data Connect
- Use dependency injection to swap implementations if needed
## 11. Clean Code Principles
### Documentation
- ✅ Add doc comments to all public classes and methods
```dart
/// Authenticates user with email and password.
///
/// Returns [User] on success or [AuthFailure] on failure.
/// Throws [NetworkException] if connection fails.
class LoginUseCase extends UseCase<User, LoginParams> {
// ...
}
```
### Single Responsibility
- Keep methods focused on one task
- Extract complex logic to separate methods
- Keep widget build methods concise
- Extract complex widgets to separate files
### Meaningful Names
```dart
// ✅ GOOD
final isProfileComplete = await checkProfileCompletion();
final userShifts = await fetchUserShifts();
// ❌ BAD
final flag = await check();
final data = await fetch();
```
## Enforcement Checklist
Before merging any mobile feature code:
### Architecture Compliance
- [ ] Feature follows package structure (domain/data/presentation)
- [ ] No business logic in BLoCs or Widgets
- [ ] All state management via BLoCs
- [ ] All backend access via repositories
- [ ] Session accessed via SessionStore, not global state
- [ ] Navigation uses Flutter Modular safe extensions
- [ ] No feature-to-feature imports
### Code Quality
- [ ] No hardcoded strings (use localization)
- [ ] No hardcoded colors/typography (use design system)
- [ ] All spacing uses UiConstants
- [ ] Doc comments on public APIs
- [ ] Meaningful variable names
- [ ] Zero analyzer warnings
### Integration
- [ ] Data Connect queries via `_service.run()`
- [ ] Error handling with domain failures
- [ ] Proper dependency injection in modules
## Summary
The key principle: **Clean Architecture with zero tolerance for violations.** Business logic in Use Cases, state in BLoCs, data access in Repositories, UI in Widgets. Features are isolated, backend is centralized, localization is mandatory, and design system is immutable.
When in doubt, refer to existing features following these patterns or ask for clarification. It's better to ask than to introduce architectural debt.

- Triggering GitHub Actions release workflows
- Creating hotfix branches for production issues
- Understanding version numbering strategy
- Setting up APK signing secrets
- Troubleshooting release workflow failures
- Documenting release notes
- Managing release cadence (dev → stage → prod)
## Quick Reference
### Release Workflows
- **Product Release:** [GitHub Actions - Product Release](https://github.com/Oloodi/krow-workforce/actions/workflows/product-release.yml)
- **Hotfix Creation:** [GitHub Actions - Product Hotfix](https://github.com/Oloodi/krow-workforce/actions/workflows/hotfix-branch-creation.yml)
### Key Files
- **Staff CHANGELOG:** `apps/mobile/apps/staff/CHANGELOG.md`
- **Client CHANGELOG:** `apps/mobile/apps/client/CHANGELOG.md`
- **Staff Version:** `apps/mobile/apps/staff/pubspec.yaml`
- **Client Version:** `apps/mobile/apps/client/pubspec.yaml`
### Comprehensive Documentation
For complete details, see: [`docs/RELEASE/mobile-releases.md`](docs/RELEASE/mobile-releases.md) (900+ lines)
## 1. Versioning Strategy
### Format
```
v{major}.{minor}.{patch}-{milestone}
```
**Examples:**
- `v0.0.1-m4` - Milestone 4 release
- `v0.1.0-m5` - Minor version bump for Milestone 5
- `v1.0.0` - First production release (no milestone suffix)
### Semantic Versioning Rules
**Major (X.0.0):**
- Breaking changes
- Complete architecture overhaul
- Incompatible API changes
**Minor (0.X.0):**
- New features
- Backwards-compatible additions
- Milestone completions
**Patch (0.0.X):**
- Bug fixes
- Security patches
- Performance improvements
**Milestone Suffix:**
- `-m1`, `-m2`, `-m3`, `-m4`, etc.
- Indicates pre-production milestone phase
- Removed for production releases
### Version Location
Versions are defined in `pubspec.yaml`:
**Staff App:**
```yaml
# apps/mobile/apps/staff/pubspec.yaml
name: krow_staff_app
version: 0.0.1-m4+1 # version+build_number
```
**Client App:**
```yaml
# apps/mobile/apps/client/pubspec.yaml
name: krow_client_app
version: 0.0.1-m4+1
```
**Format:** `version+build`
- `version`: Semantic version with milestone (e.g., `0.0.1-m4`)
- `build`: Build number (increments with each build, e.g., `+1`, `+2`)
## 2. CHANGELOG Management
### Format
Each app maintains a separate CHANGELOG following [Keep a Changelog](https://keepachangelog.com/) format.
**Structure:**
```markdown
# Changelog
All notable changes to this project will be documented in this file.
## [Unreleased]
### Added
- New feature descriptions

```
**Key Principles:**
- Be specific and descriptive
- Focus on user-facing changes
- Mention UI screens, features, or capabilities
- Avoid technical jargon users won't understand
- Group related changes together
### Updating CHANGELOG Workflow
**Step 1:** During development, add to `[Unreleased]`:
```markdown
## [Unreleased]
### Added
- New shift calendar view with month/week toggle
- Shift acceptance confirmation dialog
### Fixed
- Navigation crash when popping empty stack
```
**Step 2:** Before release, move to version section:
```markdown
## [0.1.0-m5] - Milestone 5 - 2026-03-15
### Added
- New shift calendar view with month/week toggle
- Shift acceptance confirmation dialog
### Fixed
- Navigation crash when popping empty stack
## [Unreleased]
<!-- Empty for next development cycle -->
```
**Step 3:** Update version in `pubspec.yaml`:
```yaml
version: 0.1.0-m5+1
```
## 3. Git Tagging Strategy
### Tag Format
```
krow-withus-<app>-mobile/<env>-vX.Y.Z
```
**Components:**
- `<app>`: `worker` (staff) or `client`
- `<env>`: `dev`, `stage`, or `prod`
- `vX.Y.Z`: Semantic version (from pubspec.yaml)
**Examples:**
```
krow-withus-worker-mobile/dev-v0.0.1-m4
krow-withus-worker-mobile/stage-v0.0.1-m4
krow-withus-worker-mobile/prod-v0.0.1-m4
krow-withus-client-mobile/dev-v0.0.1-m4
```
### Tag Creation
Tags are created automatically by GitHub Actions workflows. Manual tagging:
```bash
# Staff app - dev environment
git tag krow-withus-worker-mobile/dev-v0.0.1-m4
git push origin krow-withus-worker-mobile/dev-v0.0.1-m4
# Client app - prod environment
git tag krow-withus-client-mobile/prod-v1.0.0
git push origin krow-withus-client-mobile/prod-v1.0.0
```
### Tag Listing
```bash
# List all mobile tags
git tag -l "krow-withus-*-mobile/*"
# List staff app tags
git tag -l "krow-withus-worker-mobile/*"
# List production tags
git tag -l "krow-withus-*-mobile/prod-*"
```
## 4. GitHub Actions Workflows
### 4.1 Product Release Workflow

# Extract release notes for version
.github/scripts/extract-release-notes.sh apps/mobile/apps/staff/CHANGELOG.md 0.0.1-m4
```
## 5. APK Signing Setup
### Required GitHub Secrets (24 Total)
**Per App (12 secrets each):**
**Staff (Worker) App:**
```
STAFF_UPLOAD_KEYSTORE_BASE64 # Base64-encoded keystore file
STAFF_UPLOAD_STORE_PASSWORD # Keystore password
STAFF_UPLOAD_KEY_ALIAS # Key alias
STAFF_UPLOAD_KEY_PASSWORD # Key password
STAFF_KEYSTORE_PROPERTIES_BASE64 # Base64-encoded key.properties file
```
**Client App:**
```
CLIENT_UPLOAD_KEYSTORE_BASE64
CLIENT_UPLOAD_STORE_PASSWORD
CLIENT_UPLOAD_KEY_ALIAS
CLIENT_UPLOAD_KEY_PASSWORD
CLIENT_KEYSTORE_PROPERTIES_BASE64
```
### Generating Secrets
**Step 1: Create Keystore**
```bash
# For staff app
keytool -genkey -v \
-keystore staff-upload-keystore.jks \
-keyalg RSA \
-keysize 2048 \
-validity 10000 \
-alias staff-upload
# For client app
keytool -genkey -v \
-keystore client-upload-keystore.jks \
-keyalg RSA \
-keysize 2048 \
-validity 10000 \
-alias client-upload
```
**Step 2: Base64 Encode**
```bash
# Encode keystore
base64 -i staff-upload-keystore.jks | tr -d '\n' > staff-keystore.txt
# Encode key.properties
base64 -i key.properties | tr -d '\n' > key-props.txt
```
**Step 3: Add to GitHub Secrets**
```
Repository → Settings → Secrets and variables → Actions → New repository secret
```
Add each secret:
- Name: `STAFF_UPLOAD_KEYSTORE_BASE64`
- Value: Contents of `staff-keystore.txt`
Repeat for all 24 secrets.
### key.properties Format
```properties
storePassword=your_store_password
keyPassword=your_key_password
keyAlias=staff-upload
storeFile=../staff-upload-keystore.jks
```

1. Verify `pubspec.yaml` exists at expected path
2. Check version format: `version: X.Y.Z-mN+B`
3. Ensure no extra spaces or tabs
4. Verify file is committed and pushed
### Workflow Fails: APK Signing
**Error:** "Keystore password incorrect"
**Solutions:**
1. Verify GitHub Secrets are set correctly
2. Re-generate and re-encode keystore
3. Check key.properties format
4. Ensure passwords don't contain special characters that need escaping
### Workflow Fails: CHANGELOG Extraction
**Error:** "Could not find version in CHANGELOG"
**Solutions:**
1. Verify CHANGELOG format matches: `## [X.Y.Z-mN] - Milestone N - YYYY-MM-DD`
2. Check square brackets are present
3. Ensure version matches pubspec.yaml
4. Add version section if missing
### Tag Already Exists
**Error:** "tag already exists"
**Solutions:**
1. Delete existing tag locally and remotely:
```bash
git tag -d krow-withus-worker-mobile/dev-v0.0.1-m4
git push origin :refs/tags/krow-withus-worker-mobile/dev-v0.0.1-m4
```
2. Re-run workflow
### Build Fails: Flutter Errors
**Error:** "flutter build failed"
**Solutions:**
1. Test build locally first:
```bash
cd apps/mobile/apps/staff
flutter build apk --release
```
2. Fix any analyzer errors
3. Ensure all dependencies are compatible
4. Clear build cache:
```bash
flutter clean
flutter pub get
```
## 9. Local Testing
Before triggering workflows, test builds locally:
### Building APKs Locally
**Staff App:**
```bash
cd apps/mobile/apps/staff
flutter clean
flutter pub get
flutter build apk --release
```
**Client App:**
```bash
cd apps/mobile/apps/client
flutter clean
flutter pub get
flutter build apk --release
```
### Testing Release Notes
Extract CHANGELOG section:
```bash
.github/scripts/extract-release-notes.sh \
apps/mobile/apps/staff/CHANGELOG.md \
0.0.1-m4
```
### Verifying Version
Extract version from pubspec:
```bash
.github/scripts/extract-version.sh \
apps/mobile/apps/staff/pubspec.yaml
```
