Clean Architecture Core

A lightweight, zero-dependency package that provides a set of abstract base classes for building Clean Architecture applications in Dart & Flutter.

Overview

This package is designed to be the "core" dependency for the clean_architecture_kit linter. By using these base classes, the linter will work out-of-the-box with zero configuration.

You can also use this package standalone if you just want a simple, unopinionated foundation for your project's architecture.

What's Included?

• Repository: An abstract interface class to be used as a base for all repository contracts.

  abstract interface class Repository { ... }
  

• UseCase: Base classes for your business logic interactors.
  • UnaryUseCase<ReturnType, ParameterType>: For use cases that take one parameter.
  • NullaryUseCase<ReturnType>: For use cases that take no parameters.

  abstract interface class UnaryUseCase<ReturnType, ParameterType> extends UseCase {
    FutureEither<ReturnType> call(ParameterType parameter);
  }
  

• Failure: A simple abstract interface class to represent a failure case in your application's logic.

  abstract interface class Failure { ... }
  

• FutureEither<T>: A convenient typedef for Future<Either<Failure, T>> when using the fpdart package.

  typedef FutureEither<ReturnType> = Future<Either<Failure, ReturnType>>;
  

Installation

Add the package to your pubspec.yaml:

dependencies:
  clean_architecture_core: ^1.0.0
  fpdart: ^1.1.0 # Required for FutureEither

Usage Example

// In your domain layer
import 'package:clean_architecture_core/clean_architecture_core.dart';
import 'package:fpdart/fpdart.dart';

// 1. Define your repository contract
abstract interface class MyRepository implements Repository {
  FutureEither<String> getSomeData(int id);
}

// 2. Define your use case
final class GetSomeDataUsecase implements UnaryUseCase<String, int> {
  final MyRepository repository;

  const GetSomeDataUsecase(this.repository);

  @override
  FutureEither<String> call(int id) {
    return repository.getSomeData(id);
  }
}
