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.
],
),
),
);
}
}
With Screen Builder:
// 12 lines of clean, declarative code
SignInScreenBuilder()
.title('Welcome Back')
.subtitle('Sign in to continue')
.submitButton(
label: 'Sign In',
onSubmit: (data) async {
await authService.signIn(data['email'], data['password']);
},
)
.socialLogin([
SocialLoginButton.google(() => authService.signInWithGoogle()),
])
.build();

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(
builder: (_) => ForgotPasswordScreenBuilder()
.submitButton(
label: 'Send Reset Link',
onSubmit: (data) async {
await authService.sendPasswordReset(data['email']);
if (context.mounted) {
// 3. Success Screen
Navigator.pushReplacement(context, MaterialPageRoute(
builder: (_) => SuccessScreenBuilder()
.title('Email Sent!')
.message('Check your inbox for the password reset link.')
.primaryButton(label: 'Back to Sign In', onPressed: () {
Navigator.of(context).popUntil((route) => route.isFirst);
})
.build(),
));
}
},
)
.build(),
));
})
.onSignUp(() {
// 4. Sign Up
Navigator.push(context, MaterialPageRoute(
builder: (_) => SignUpScreenBuilder()
.submitButton(
label: 'Create Account',
onSubmit: (data) async {
await authService.signUp(data);
if (context.mounted) {
// 5. OTP Verification
Navigator.pushReplacement(context, MaterialPageRoute(
builder: (_) => OTPScreenBuilder()
.subtitle('Enter the code sent to ${data['email']}')
.submitButton(
label: 'Verify',
onSubmit: (otpData) async {
final verified = await authService.verifyOTP(otpData['otp']);
if (verified && context.mounted) {
Navigator.pushReplacement(context, MaterialPageRoute(
builder: (_) => HomePage(),
));
}
},
)
.build(),
));
}
},
)
.build(),
));
})
.build(),
));
E-commerce Flow #
Product browsing to checkout:
// 1. Product List
ProductListScreenBuilder()
.title('Shop')
.dataLoader(() => productService.fetchProducts())
.layout(ListLayout.grid(columns: 2, aspectRatio: 0.75))
.filters([
Filter.category(options: categories),
Filter.priceRange(min: 0, max: 1000),
Filter.rating(),
])
.onItemTap((product) {
// Add to cart and show feedback
cartService.addItem(product);
SPSnackBar.showSuccess(context, 'Added to cart!');
})
.actions([
IconButton(
icon: Badge(
label: Text('${cartService.itemCount}'),
child: Icon(Icons.shopping_cart),
),
onPressed: () {
// 2. Shopping Cart
Navigator.push(context, MaterialPageRoute(
builder: (_) => CartScreenBuilder()
.title('Shopping Cart')
.dataLoader(() => cartService.getItems())
.checkoutButton(
label: 'Checkout (\$${cartService.total})',
onPressed: () {
// 3. Checkout Success
Navigator.push(context, MaterialPageRoute(
builder: (_) => SuccessScreenBuilder()
.title('Order Placed!')
.message('Your order has been successfully placed.')
.primaryButton(
label: 'View Order',
onPressed: () => navigateToOrderDetails(),
)
.build(),
));
},
)
.build(),
));
},
),
])
.build();
Settings & Profile Flow #
User account management:
// 1. Profile Screen
ProfileScreenBuilder()
.title('Profile')
.name(user.name)
.email(user.email)
.bio(user.bio)
.stats([
ProfileStat(label: 'Posts', value: '${user.postCount}'),
ProfileStat(label: 'Followers', value: '${user.followerCount}'),
ProfileStat(label: 'Following', value: '${user.followingCount}'),
])
.actions([
ProfileAction(
id: 'settings',
title: 'Settings',
icon: Icons.settings_outlined,
onTap: () {
// 2. Settings Screen
Navigator.push(context, MaterialPageRoute(
builder: (_) => SettingsScreenBuilder()
.title('Settings')
.dataLoader(() async => [
SettingItem.header(id: 'account', title: 'ACCOUNT'),
SettingItem.navigation(
id: 'edit_profile',
title: 'Edit Profile',
icon: Icons.edit_outlined,
onTap: () {
// 3. Edit Profile
Navigator.push(context, MaterialPageRoute(
builder: (_) => EditProfileScreenBuilder()
.initialData({
'name': user.name,
'email': user.email,
'bio': user.bio,
})
.submitButton(
label: 'Save Changes',
onSubmit: (data) async {
await userService.updateProfile(data);
if (context.mounted) {
SPSnackBar.showSuccess(context, 'Profile updated!');
Navigator.pop(context);
}
},
)
.build(),
));
},
),
SettingItem.navigation(
id: 'notifications',
title: 'Notifications',
icon: Icons.notifications_outlined,
onTap: () {
// 4. Notifications
Navigator.push(context, MaterialPageRoute(
builder: (_) => NotificationsScreenBuilder()
.title('Notifications')
.dataLoader(() => notificationService.fetch())
.onItemTap((notification) {
notificationService.markAsRead(notification.id);
})
.build(),
));
},
),
])
.build(),
));
},
),
])
.onEditProfile(() {
Navigator.push(context, MaterialPageRoute(
builder: (_) => EditProfileScreenBuilder()
.initialData({'name': user.name, 'email': user.email})
.build(),
));
})
.build();
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(

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, ...);
}
}

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);
})
