🚀 Quick Start

1. Initialize Core Services

In your main.dart, call setup() to initialize DI, Storage, and Theme services.

import 'package:flutter/material.dart';
import 'package:flutter_robust_starter/flutter_robust_starter.dart';

void main() async {
  WidgetsFlutterBinding.ensureInitialized();
  
  // Initialize all core services
  await setup(env: Environment.dev);

  runApp(const MyApp());
}

2. Configure MaterialApp

Wrap your app with ListenableBuilder to handle theme changes automatically.

class MyApp extends StatelessWidget {
  const MyApp({super.key});

  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    final themeService = sl<ThemeService>();

    return ListenableBuilder(
      listenable: themeService,
      builder: (context, _) {
        return MaterialApp(
          theme: AppTheme.lightTheme,
          darkTheme: AppTheme.darkTheme,
          themeMode: themeService.themeMode,
          navigatorKey: sl<GlobalKey<NavigatorState>>(),
          onGenerateRoute: AppRouter.onGenerateRoute,
        );
      },
    );
  }
}

🏛️ Core Components

BaseRepository (The Powerhouse)

Handle API calls with zero boilerplate. It automatically manages connectivity checks, error conversion, and global loading states.

class MyRepository extends BaseRepository {
  final NetworkService _network = sl<NetworkService>();

  Future<ApiResponse<User>> getUser(String id) {
    return execute(
      () => _network.get('/users/$id'),
      (json) => UserModel.fromJson(json),
    );
  }
}

Proactive Connectivity

The package includes a ConnectivityInterceptor that stops network requests immediately if the device is offline, saving battery and improving user experience.

Theme Management

A built-in ThemeService that persists the user's choice (Light/Dark) using SharedPreferences. Toggle it anywhere:

sl<ThemeService>().toggleTheme();

Form Validation

Centralized validators for common fields:

AppTextField(
  hintText: 'Email',
  validator: AppValidators.email,
),

---

🛠️ Customization

Update your environment settings in AppConfig:

sl<AppConfig>().baseUrl; // Accessed globally
