📦 Flutter Clean Architecture [1]: An Overview & Project Structure (7 min read)

Ah, software developers and their struggles. It's like watching a kid trying to ride a bike for the first time, except with less scraped knees and more frustrated screams at the computer screen. But hey, at least they're trying, right?So, these developers are talking about architecture, and not the kind that involves blueprints and hard hats. No, we're talking about software architecture, which is all about organizing and structuring code to make it more manageable. And boy, do they have some fancy-sounding names for these architectures.First up, we have the Hexagonal Architecture. It's like playing a game of hide-and-seek with your code. You separate your application into different components, so the core business logic is hidden away from the outside world. It's like having a secret hideout for all your programming secrets.Then there's the Onion Architecture, which sounds a little bit like a deliciously layered dessert. But instead of indulging in sweetness, you're indulging in layers of code. It's all about control inversion, which is just a fancy way of saying you're flipping things around. The core is in the middle, and the layers build up around it like a tasty, code-filled onion.And of course, we can't forget about the Clean Architecture. Uncle Bob's special creation that combines all the previous architectures into one powerful concept. It's like the Avengers of software architecture, bringing together different heroes to save your code from chaos. It's all about defining boundaries and making sure your code is independent and testable. A true architectural superhero.But wait, there's more! These architectures all have one goal in mind: separation of concerns. They want to make sure your code knows what it's responsible for, like a strict parent telling their kids to clean their own room. And they have a well-defined system to achieve this, with layers for business rules and interfaces, and no dependence on frameworks, UI, databases, or external agencies. It's like creating your own little code kingdom.And now, the developers are ready to put this architecture into practice. They're building a weather application with two interfaces: one for displaying weather details and another for adding new cities. They'll be fetching data from an API, storing it in a local database, and handling errors with the grace of a professional juggler. All while using the Provider technique for state management, because hey, who doesn't love a good provider?So there you have it, folks. Software developers diving into the world of architecture, armed with fancy names and a desire for clean code. Will they succeed in their mission? Will their application withstand the test of time and changing requirements? Only time will tell. But in the meantime, let's sit back, relax, and enjoy the show. It's like watching a dramatic soap opera, but with less tears and more bugs.
