📁 Output Structure

🔧 After running blue_print create-project --name my_awesome_app:

lib/
│
├── core/
│   │
│   ├── helpers/              # Utility functions and common helpers
│   │
│   ├── network/              # Networking layer (API calls, result handling, error parsing)
│   │
│   ├── themes/               # Centralized themes and styling
│   │
│   ├── widgets/              # Reusable shared widgets

│   ├── di/                   # Dependency injection setup
│   │
│   └── routes/               # App routing configuration
│
└── features/                 # Modular feature-based structure

The core/ layer provides a robust foundation of reusable modules that support scalability and maintainability across the app.
