Why Save Points Screen Builder?

Before vs After

Without Screen Builder:

// 150+ lines of boilerplate code
class SignInScreen extends StatefulWidget {
  @override
  State<SignInScreen> createState() => _SignInScreenState();
}

class _SignInScreenState extends State<SignInScreen> {
  final _formKey = GlobalKey<FormState>();
  final _emailController = TextEditingController();
  final _passwordController = TextEditingController();
  bool _isLoading = false;
  bool _obscurePassword = true;

  @override
  void dispose() {
    _emailController.dispose();
    _passwordController.dispose();
    super.dispose();
  }

  Future<void> _handleSubmit() async {
    if (!_formKey.currentState!.validate()) return;
    
    setState(() => _isLoading = true);
    try {
      await authService.signIn(
        _emailController.text,
        _passwordController.text,
      );
      if (mounted) {
        Navigator.pushReplacement(context, ...);
      }
    } catch (e) {
      if (mounted) {
        ScaffoldMessenger.of(context).showSnackBar(
          SnackBar(content: Text(e.toString())),
        );
      }
    } finally {
      if (mounted) setState(() => _isLoading = false);
    }
  }

  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return Scaffold(
      appBar: AppBar(title: Text('Sign In')),
      body: Form(
        key: _formKey,
        child: ListView(
          padding: EdgeInsets.all(16),
          children: [
            TextFormField(
              controller: _emailController,
              decoration: InputDecoration(labelText: 'Email'),
              keyboardType: TextInputType.emailAddress,
              validator: (value) {
                if (value?.isEmpty ?? true) return 'Email is required';
                if (!value!.contains('@')) return 'Invalid email';
                return null;
              },
            ),
            SizedBox(height: 16),
            TextFormField(
              controller: _passwordController,
              decoration: InputDecoration(
                labelText: 'Password',
                suffixIcon: IconButton(
                  icon: Icon(_obscurePassword ? Icons.visibility : Icons.visibility_off),
                  onPressed: () => setState(() => _obscurePassword = !_obscurePassword),
                ),
              ),
              obscureText: _obscurePassword,
              validator: (value) {
                if (value?.isEmpty ?? true) return 'Password is required';
                return null;
              },
            ),
            SizedBox(height: 24),
            ElevatedButton(
              onPressed: _isLoading ? null : _handleSubmit,
              child: _isLoading 
                ? CircularProgressIndicator() 
                : Text('Sign In'),
            ),
            // ... more boilerplate for social login, forgot password, etc.
          ],
        ),
      ),
    );
  }
}

Core Concepts

Screen Configuration

Customize screens globally with ScreenBuilderConfig:

final config = ScreenBuilderConfig(
  seedColor: Colors.blue,
  fontFamily: 'Roboto',
  spacing: 8.0,
  borderRadius: 12.0,
  useSafeArea: true,
  pagePadding: EdgeInsets.all(16.0),
);

SignInScreenBuilder()
  .configuration(config)
  .build();

Form Engine

Build forms declaratively with type-safe field configurations:

FormFieldConfig.email(
  id: 'email',
  label: 'Email Address',
  hint: 'Enter your email',
  required: true,
  validator: Validators.combine([
    Validators.required(),
    Validators.email(),
  ]),
)

Field Types: text Β· email Β· password Β· phone Β· number Β· multiline Β· search Β· url Β· otp Β· dropdown Β· checkbox Β· switchToggle Β· slider Β· date Β· time Β· datetime

Validators:

Validator Description
required() Field cannot be empty
email() Valid email format
phone() Valid phone format
url() Valid URL format
minLength(n) Minimum character length
maxLength(n) Maximum character length
password() Password strength validation
numeric() Numeric value only
pattern(regex) Custom regex pattern
match(getValue, field) Match another field
otp(length) OTP code validation
combine(validators) Combine multiple validators

List Engine

Create lists and grids with flexible layouts:

// Grid layout
ListLayout.grid(
  columns: 2,
  aspectRatio: 0.75,
  crossAxisSpacing: 16,
  mainAxisSpacing: 16,
)

// Simple list
ListLayout.list(spacing: 8)

// Responsive columns
ListLayout.adaptive()

Item Builders:

// Card items
CardItemBuilder<Product>((context, product, index) => 
  Card(child: ProductContent(product))
)

// List tiles
ListTileItemBuilder<Item>((context, item, index) => 
  ListTile(title: Text(item.title))
)

// Grid tiles
GridTileItemBuilder<Product>((context, product, index) => 
  GridTile(child: ProductImage(product))
)

// Full custom
CustomItemBuilder<T>((context, item, index) => 
  YourCustomWidget(item: item)
)

Filter System

A comprehensive filtering system with 9 filter types and a ready-to-use FilterBar widget.

Filter Types

Type Factory Description
Select Filter.category() Single-select dropdown
Multi-Select Filter.multiSelect() Multiple selection with checkboxes
Range Filter.priceRange() Range slider for numbers
Toggle Filter.toggle() Boolean on/off filter
Date Filter.date() Single date picker
Date Range Filter.dateRange() Date range picker
Search Filter.search() Text search input
Sort Filter.sort() Sort options dropdown
Rating Filter.rating() Star rating filter

Quick Example

// Define filters
final filters = [
  Filter.category(
    options: [
      FilterOption.all(),
      FilterOption(value: 'electronics', label: 'Electronics', icon: Icons.devices),
      FilterOption(value: 'clothing', label: 'Clothing', icon: Icons.checkroom),
    ],
  ),
  Filter.priceRange(min: 0, max: 1000),
  Filter.toggle(id: 'inStock', label: 'In Stock', icon: Icons.inventory),
  Filter.rating(),
  Filter.sort(
    options: [
      FilterOption(value: 'newest', label: 'Newest'),
      FilterOption(value: 'price_asc', label: 'Price: Low to High'),
      FilterOption(value: 'price_desc', label: 'Price: High to Low'),
    ],
  ),
];

// Use FilterBar widget
FilterBar(
  filters: filters,
  onFilterChanged: (values) {
    // values is Map<String, dynamic>
    // e.g., {'category': 'electronics', 'price': RangeValues(0, 500), 'inStock': true}
    setState(() => applyFilters(values));
  },
)

Using with Lists

DynamicListScreenBuilder<Product>()
  .title('Products')
  .dataLoader(() => fetchProducts())
  .filters(filters)
  .onFilterChanged((values) {
    // Filter your data based on values
  })
  .build();

Filter Options

// Basic option
FilterOption(value: 'electronics', label: 'Electronics')

// With icon
FilterOption(value: 'sports', label: 'Sports', icon: Icons.sports)

// With count badge
FilterOption(value: 'clothing', label: 'Clothing', count: 42)

// "All" option helper
FilterOption.all(count: 150)

Applying Filters to Data

// Using the extension method
final filtered = products.applyFilters(filterValues, (product, id, value) {
  switch (id) {
    case 'category':
      return value.isEmpty || product.category == value;
    case 'price':
      final range = value as RangeValues;
      return product.price >= range.start && product.price <= range.end;
    case 'inStock':
      return !value || product.inStock;
    case 'rating':
      return product.rating >= value;
    default:
      return true;
  }
});

Common Patterns

Authentication Flow

Complete authentication flow with all screens:

// 1. Sign In
Navigator.push(context, MaterialPageRoute(
  builder: (_) => SignInScreenBuilder()
    .title('Welcome Back')
    .submitButton(
      label: 'Sign In',
      onSubmit: (data) async {
        final success = await authService.signIn(data['email'], data['password']);
        if (success && context.mounted) {
          Navigator.pushReplacement(context, MaterialPageRoute(builder: (_) => HomePage()));
        }
      },
    )
    .onForgotPassword(() {
      // 2. Forgot Password
      Navigator.push(context, MaterialPageRoute(

Error Handling Pattern

Consistent error handling across screens:

Future<void> loadData() async {
  try {
    final data = await apiService.fetchData();
    // Process data...
  } catch (e) {
    if (mounted) {
      Navigator.push(context, MaterialPageRoute(
        builder: (_) => ErrorScreenBuilder()
          .title('Something went wrong')
          .message(e.toString())
          .retryButton(
            label: 'Try Again',
            onPressed: () {
              Navigator.pop(context);
              loadData(); // Retry
            },
          )
          .dismissButton(
            label: 'Go Back',
            onPressed: () => Navigator.pop(context),
          )
          .build(),
      ));
    }
  }
}

    handleNotificationAction(notification);
  })
  .enableRefresh()
  .build();
6. Dynamic List Screen

Configurable list with filters and custom items:

DynamicListScreenBuilder<User>()
  .title('Team Members')
  .dataLoader(() async {
    return await userService.fetchTeamMembers();
  })
  .itemTitle((user) => user.name)
  .itemSubtitle((user) => user.role)
  .itemLeading((user) => CircleAvatar(
    backgroundImage: NetworkImage(user.avatarUrl),
  ))
  .onItemTap((user) => navigateToUserProfile(user))
  .filters([
    Filter.toggle(id: 'active', label: 'Show Active Only'),
    Filter.search(id: 'search', label: 'Search members'),
  ])
  .onFilterChanged((filters) {
    // Apply filters to your data
  })
  .enableRefresh()
  .build();

Best Practices

1. Configuration Management

Create a global configuration for consistent styling:

// lib/config/screen_config.dart
class AppScreenConfig {
  static final ScreenBuilderConfig config = ScreenBuilderConfig(
    seedColor: Colors.indigo,
    fontFamily: 'Roboto',
    spacing: 8.0,
    borderRadius: 12.0,
    useSafeArea: true,
    pagePadding: EdgeInsets.all(16.0),
  );
}

// Usage
SignInScreenBuilder()
  .configuration(AppScreenConfig.config)
  .build();

2. Service Layer Pattern

Separate business logic from UI:

// lib/services/auth_service.dart
class AuthService {
  Future<bool> signIn(String email, String password) async {
    // API call
    final response = await api.post('/auth/signin', {
      'email': email,
      'password': password,
    });
    return response.success;
  }
}

// Usage in screen
SignInScreenBuilder()
  .submitButton(
    label: 'Sign In',
    onSubmit: (data) async {
      final authService = context.read<AuthService>();
      await authService.signIn(data['email'], data['password']);
    },
  )
  .build();

3. Form Validation

Use built-in validators for robust forms:

DynamicFormScreenBuilder(
  fields: [
    FormFieldConfig.email(
      id: 'email',
      label: 'Email',
      required: true,
      validator: Validators.combine([
        Validators.required(),
        Validators.email(),
      ]),
    ),
    FormFieldConfig.password(
      id: 'password',
      label: 'Password',
      required: true,
      validator: Validators.combine([
        Validators.required(),
        Validators.minLength(8),
        Validators.password(), // Checks for strength
      ]),
    ),
    FormFieldConfig.password(
      id: 'confirm_password',
      label: 'Confirm Password',
      required: true,
      validator: Validators.match(
        getValue: (id) => formData['password'],
        fieldName: 'Password',
      ),
    ),
  ],
)

4. Loading States

Handle loading states gracefully:

ProductListScreenBuilder()
  .dataLoader(() async {
    try {
      return await productService.fetchProducts();
    } catch (e) {
      // Return empty list or throw to show error state
      return [];
    }
  })
  .onLoading(() => Center(
    child: Column(
      mainAxisAlignment: MainAxisAlignment.center,
      children: [
        SPLoadingIndicator(),
        SizedBox(height: 16),
        Text('Loading products...'),
      ],
    ),
  ))
  .onEmpty(() => EmptyState(
    icon: Icons.shopping_bag_outlined,
    title: 'No products found',
    subtitle: 'Check back later for new items',
  ))
  .build();

5. Filter Management

Implement efficient filtering:

class ProductListPage extends StatefulWidget {
  @override
  State<ProductListPage> createState() => _ProductListPageState();
}

class _ProductListPageState extends State<ProductListPage> {
  List<Product> _allProducts = [];
  List<Product> _filteredProducts = [];
  Map<String, dynamic> _currentFilters = {};

  void _applyFilters(Map<String, dynamic> filters) {
    setState(() {
      _currentFilters = filters;
      _filteredProducts = _allProducts.applyFilters(
        filters,
        (product, id, value) {
          switch (id) {
            case 'category':
              return value.isEmpty || product.category == value;
            case 'price':
              final range = value as RangeValues;
              return product.price >= range.start && 
                     product.price <= range.end;
            case 'rating':
              return product.rating >= value;
            default:
              return true;
          }
        },
      );
    });
  }

  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return ProductListScreenBuilder()
      .dataLoader(() async {
        _allProducts = await productService.fetchProducts();
        _filteredProducts = _allProducts;
        return _filteredProducts;
      })
      .filters([
        Filter.category(options: categoryOptions),
        Filter.priceRange(min: 0, max: 1000),
        Filter.rating(),
      ])
      .onFilterChanged(_applyFilters)
      .build();
  }
}

6. Navigation Patterns

Use named routes for better organization:

// lib/routes/app_routes.dart
class AppRoutes {
  static const splash = '/';
  static const onboarding = '/onboarding';
  static const signIn = '/signin';
  static const signUp = '/signup';
  static const home = '/home';
  static const profile = '/profile';
  
  static Map<String, WidgetBuilder> getRoutes() {
    return {
      splash: (_) => SplashPage(),
      onboarding: (_) => OnboardingPage(),
      signIn: (_) => SignInPage(),
      signUp: (_) => SignUpPage(),
      home: (_) => HomePage(),
      profile: (_) => ProfilePage(),
    };
  }
}

// lib/main.dart
MaterialApp(
  routes: AppRoutes.getRoutes(),
  initialRoute: AppRoutes.splash,
)

// Usage
Navigator.pushReplacementNamed(context, AppRoutes.home);

7. Theme Customization

Extend the default theme:

final customTheme = AppTheme.lightTheme.copyWith(
  colorScheme: ColorScheme.fromSeed(
    seedColor: Colors.deepPurple,
    brightness: Brightness.light,
  ),
  textTheme: GoogleFonts.poppinsTextTheme(),
);

MaterialApp(
  theme: customTheme,
  darkTheme: AppTheme.darkTheme.copyWith(
    colorScheme: ColorScheme.fromSeed(
      seedColor: Colors.deepPurple,
      brightness: Brightness.dark,
    ),
  ),
)

8. Accessibility

Ensure your screens are accessible:

SignInScreenBuilder()
  .title('Welcome Back')
  .submitButton(
    label: 'Sign In',
    onSubmit: (data) async {
      // Provide feedback for screen readers
      SemanticsService.announce(
        'Signing in, please wait',
        TextDirection.ltr,
      );
      
      await authService.signIn(data['email'], data['password']);
      
      if (context.mounted) {
        SemanticsService.announce(
          'Sign in successful',
          TextDirection.ltr,
        );
      }
    },
  )
  .build();

9. Performance Optimization

Optimize list performance:

ProductListScreenBuilder()
  .dataLoader(() => productService.fetchProducts())
  .layout(ListLayout.grid(
    columns: 2,
    aspectRatio: 0.75,
    crossAxisSpacing: 16,
    mainAxisSpacing: 16,
  ))
  .itemBuilder(CardItemBuilder<Product>(
    (context, product, index) {
      // Use const where possible
      return const ProductCard(product: product);
    },
  ))
  .enableRefresh()
  .build();

10. Error Handling

Implement comprehensive error handling:

class ApiService {
  Future<T> handleRequest<T>(Future<T> Function() request) async {
    try {
      return await request();
    } on NetworkException catch (e) {
      throw 'Network error: ${e.message}';
    } on AuthException catch (e) {
      // Redirect to sign in
      throw 'Authentication error: ${e.message}';
    } catch (e) {
      throw 'An unexpected error occurred';
    }
  }
}

// Usage
ProductListScreenBuilder()
  .dataLoader(() async {
    try {
      return await apiService.handleRequest(
        () => productService.fetchProducts(),
      );
    } catch (e) {
      // Show error screen
      if (context.mounted) {
        Navigator.push(context, MaterialPageRoute(
          builder: (_) => ErrorScreenBuilder()
            .title('Failed to load products')
            .message(e.toString())
            .retryButton(label: 'Retry', onPressed: () {
              Navigator.pop(context);
              // Trigger reload
            })
            .build(),
        ));
      }
      return [];
    }
  })
  .build();

Troubleshooting

Common Issues

1. Theme not applying

Problem: Screens don't use the custom theme

Solution: Ensure you're applying the theme at the app level:

MaterialApp(
  theme: AppTheme.lightTheme,
  darkTheme: AppTheme.darkTheme,
  themeMode: ThemeMode.system,
)

2. Form validation not working

Problem: Form submits even with invalid data

Solution: Ensure validators are properly configured:

FormFieldConfig.email(
  id: 'email',
  required: true,
  validator: Validators.combine([
    Validators.required(),
    Validators.email(),
  ]),
)

3. Filters not updating list

Problem: List doesn't update when filters change

Solution: Implement onFilterChanged callback:

ProductListScreenBuilder()
  .filters([...])
  .onFilterChanged((filterValues) {
    setState(() {
      // Apply filters to your data
      _filteredData = _applyFilters(filterValues);
    });
  })
  .build();

4. Images not loading in product cards

Problem: Product images show placeholder

Solution: Ensure image URLs are valid and use proper error handling:

Product(
  id: '1',
  name: 'Product',
  imageUrl: 'https://valid-url.com/image.jpg', // Must be valid URL
  // ...
)

5. Navigation issues

Problem: Navigator errors or context issues

Solution: Always check if context is mounted:

.onSubmit: (data) async {
  await someAsyncOperation();
  if (context.mounted) {
    Navigator.push(context, ...);
  }
}

Performance Tips

  1. Use const constructors where possible
  2. Implement pagination for large lists
  3. Cache network images using cached_network_image
  4. Debounce search filters to reduce API calls
  5. Use ListView.builder for long lists (handled automatically)

FAQ

General Questions

Q: Is this library production-ready?

A: Yes! Version 1.0.3 is stable, well-tested, and used in production apps. It follows Flutter and Material 3 best practices.

Q: Can I customize the UI?

A: Absolutely! You can customize colors, fonts, spacing, and more through ScreenBuilderConfig. You can also extend builders or create custom ones.

Q: Does it work with state management solutions?

A: Yes! The library is state-management agnostic. Use it with Provider, Riverpod, Bloc, GetX, or any other solution.

Q: What about responsive design?

A: All screens are responsive by default. Use ListLayout.adaptive() for responsive grids, and the design system handles different screen sizes automatically.

Q: Can I use this with existing apps?

A: Yes! The library is designed to work alongside your existing code. Adopt it screen-by-screen at your own pace.

Technical Questions

Q: How do I handle navigation?

A: Use standard Flutter navigation. The builders return widgets that work with Navigator.push(), named routes, or any navigation package.

Navigator.push(
  context,
  MaterialPageRoute(builder: (_) => SignInScreenBuilder().build()),
);

Q: Can I access form data before submission?

A: Yes! Use DynamicFormScreenBuilder with custom field controllers:

final nameController = TextEditingController();

DynamicFormScreenBuilder(
  fields: [
    FormFieldConfig.text(
      id: 'name',
      controller: nameController,
    ),
  ],
)

// Access anytime
print(nameController.text);

Q: How do I implement pagination?

A: Use DynamicListScreenBuilder with a custom data loader:

class MyListPage extends StatefulWidget {
  @override
  State<MyListPage> createState() => _MyListPageState();
}

class _MyListPageState extends State<MyListPage> {
  int _page = 1;
  List<Item> _items = [];

  Future<List<Item>> _loadMore() async {
    final newItems = await api.fetchItems(page: _page);
    _items.addAll(newItems);
    _page++;
    return _items;
  }

  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return DynamicListScreenBuilder<Item>()
      .dataLoader(_loadMore)
      .build();
  }
}

Q: Can I use custom widgets in forms?

A: Yes! Use FormFieldConfig with customBuilder:

FormFieldConfig(
  id: 'custom',
  type: FormFieldType.custom,
  customBuilder: (context, config, controller) {
    return MyCustomWidget(controller: controller);
  },
)

Q: How do I handle authentication tokens?

A: Manage tokens in your service layer:

class AuthService {
  String? _token;

  Future<void> signIn(String email, String password) async {
    final response = await api.post('/auth/signin', {
      'email': email,
      'password': password,
    });
    _token = response.data['token'];
    // Store token securely
    await secureStorage.write(key: 'auth_token', value: _token);
  }
}

Q: Can I use this with Firebase?

A: Yes! The library works seamlessly with Firebase Auth, Firestore, and other Firebase services:

SignInScreenBuilder()
  .submitButton(
    label: 'Sign In',
    onSubmit: (data) async {
      await FirebaseAuth.instance.signInWithEmailAndPassword(
        email: data['email'],
        password: data['password'],
      );
    },
  )
  .socialLogin([
    SocialLoginButton.google(() async {
      final GoogleSignInAccount? googleUser = await GoogleSignIn().signIn();
      final GoogleSignInAuthentication? googleAuth = 
        await googleUser?.authentication;
      final credential = GoogleAuthProvider.credential(
        accessToken: googleAuth?.accessToken,
        idToken: googleAuth?.idToken,
      );
      await FirebaseAuth.instance.signInWithCredential(credential);
    }),
  ])
  .build();

Q: How do I localize the screens?

A: Use Flutter's localization system:

SignInScreenBuilder()
  .title(AppLocalizations.of(context).signInTitle)
  .subtitle(AppLocalizations.of(context).signInSubtitle)
  .submitButton(
    label: AppLocalizations.of(context).signInButton,
    onSubmit: (data) async { ... },
  )
  .build();

Q: Can I test screens built with this library?

A: Yes! Use Flutter's testing framework:

testWidgets('SignIn screen submits form', (tester) async {
  await tester.pumpWidget(
    MaterialApp(
      home: SignInScreenBuilder()
        .submitButton(
          label: 'Sign In',
          onSubmit: (data) async {
            expect(data['email'], 'test@example.com');
          },
        )
        .build(),
    ),
  );

  await tester.enterText(
    find.byType(TextField).first,
    'test@example.com',
  );
  await tester.tap(find.text('Sign In'));
  await tester.pumpAndSettle();
});

Performance Questions

Q: How does this affect app size?

A: The library adds approximately 200KB to your app size, which is minimal compared to the code you save.

Q: Is it performant for large lists?

A: Yes! Lists use ListView.builder and GridView.builder under the hood, which are highly optimized for large datasets.

Q: Does it support lazy loading?

A: Yes! Implement lazy loading in your dataLoader:

.dataLoader(() async {
  // Load data on demand
  return await api.fetchItems(offset: currentOffset, limit: 20);
})
