#Flutter

Many people think that creating an abstract class, an implementation and injecting the abstraction is already applying the Dependency Inversion Principle. It's not. This post walks through the questions I keep hearing about Clean, layered and DIP, and pins down the one detail that makes the difference.

I realized I was spending more time compiling the app and navigating to a screen to verify a UI change than it would take to just ask the AI to generate a golden test. In this post I will explain you how I stopped building and just asking the AI for "screenshots" of my screen.

One reactive source of truth. The repository streams data, and each feature listens and derives its own state independently. Clean, decoupled, and easy to scale.

Don't make one single BLoC for the whole page. Follow the Single Responsibility Principle and split UI components into small features with their own BLoCs.

Prop drilling happens when data travels through widgets that do not need it. In this post I show how I removed it in my project and made the code cleaner using a provider.

Learn how to keep your Flutter imports clean and scalable using the barrel file pattern, and see how my new VS Code extension Barrel Me automates the process with one click.

Ever needed to display a widget above all other content? Flutter's Overlay widget is your secret weapon for custom notifications, persistent tooltips, and truly floating elements.

Extension methods offer a powerful way to encapsulate common UI patterns, making your widget trees much cleaner and more readable. Instead of wrapping every widget, you can chain these extensions for a more fluent API.

Sometimes your BLoC looks fine, but part of its logic lives outside the state hidden in private fields that never get emitted. That's ghost state. In this post, I show a real example of how it happens, and how to fix it so your state tells the whole story.

A quick tip on how to make your Flutter UI transitions feel smoother using AnimatedSwitcher.

(and how the Mediator Pattern can save you) Sometimes in a Flutter app, one BLoC starts depending on another. Maybe the profile screen needs the current user ID from the AuthBloc. So we inject one BLoC into the other. It works. Until it doesn't.
