Flutter cross-platform development guide covering widget patterns, Riverpod/Bloc state management, GoRouter navigation, performance optimization, and platform-specific implementations. Includes const optimization, responsive layouts, testing strategies, and DevTools profiling. Use when: building Flutter apps, implementing state management (Riverpod/Bloc), setting up GoRouter navigation, creating custom widgets, optimizing performance, writing widget tests, cross-platform development.

Flutter Development Guide
A practical guide for building cross-platform applications with Flutter 3 and Dart. Focuses on proven patterns, state management, and performance optimization.
Quick Reference
Widget Patterns
| Purpose | Component |
|---|---|
| State management (simple) | StateProvider + ConsumerWidget |
| State management (complex) | NotifierProvider / Bloc |
| Async data | FutureProvider / AsyncNotifierProvider |
| Real-time streams | StreamProvider |
| Navigation | GoRouter + context.go/push |
| Responsive layout | LayoutBuilder + breakpoints |
| List display | ListView.builder |
| Complex scrolling | CustomScrollView + Slivers |
| Hooks | HookWidget + useState/useEffect |
| Forms | Form + TextFormField + validation |
Performance Patterns
| Purpose | Solution |
|---|---|
| Prevent rebuilds | const constructors |
| Selective updates | ref.watch(provider.select(...)) |
| Isolate repaints | RepaintBoundary |
| Lazy lists | ListView.builder |
| Heavy computation | compute() isolate |
| Image caching | cached_network_image |
Core Principles
Widget Optimization
- Use
constconstructors wherever possible - Extract static widgets to separate const classes
- Use
Keyfor list items (ValueKey, ObjectKey) - Prefer
ConsumerWidgetoverStatefulWidgetfor state
State Management
- Riverpod for dependency injection and simple state
- Bloc/Cubit for event-driven workflows and complex logic
- Never mutate state directly (create new instances)
- Use
select()to minimize rebuilds
Layout
- 8pt spacing increments (8, 16, 24, 32, 48)
- Responsive breakpoints: mobile (<650), tablet (650-1100), desktop (>1100)
- Support all screen sizes with flexible layouts
- Follow Material 3 / Cupertino design guidelines
Performance
- Profile with DevTools before optimizing
- Target <16ms frame time for 60fps
- Use
RepaintBoundaryfor complex animations - Offload heavy work with
compute()
Checklist
Widget Best Practices
-
constconstructors on all static widgets - Proper
Keyon list items -
ConsumerWidgetfor state-dependent widgets - No widget building inside
build()method - Extract reusable widgets to separate files
State Management
- Immutable state objects
-
select()for granular rebuilds - Proper provider scoping
- Dispose controllers and subscriptions
- Handle loading/error states
Navigation
- GoRouter with typed routes
- Auth guards via redirect
- Deep linking support
- State preservation across routes
Performance
- Profile mode testing (
flutter run --profile) - <16ms frame rendering time
- No unnecessary rebuilds (DevTools check)
- Images cached and resized
- Heavy computation in isolates
Testing
- Widget tests for UI components
- Unit tests for business logic
- Integration tests for user flows
- Bloc tests with
blocTest()
