Directory Illustration for Flutter BLoC Projects
This folder structure illustrates a modular organization for a Flutter project following the BLoC (Business Logic Component) pattern, which is commonly used to manage and separate the different layers of an application’s logic and UI. In this structure, folders such as blocs
, models
, repositories
, services
, views
, utils
, and config
each serve a specific role within the app.
The blocs
folder holds the business logic of the application. Each feature or screen’s BLoC has its own folder to keep the logic, events, and states related to that feature in one place. This modular approach helps maintain separation of concerns and improves scalability. models
contain data structures used throughout the app, while repositories
are responsible for managing and centralizing data access, such as retrieving data from APIs or databases. services
are utility classes that handle specific functions, like network requests or storage.
The views
folder contains the visual components and user interfaces, typically divided into screens
for full pages and widgets
for reusable components, allowing a clear distinction between different UI layers. Utility functions and constants are organized within utils
and config
, respectively, providing a centralized space for commonly used elements and configuration data.
Illustrating this structure helps developers understand the clear separation and purpose of each folder, promoting a modular and maintainable codebase. As the project grows, this structure simplifies navigation, debugging, and scaling, allowing developers to quickly identify where different parts of the application logic and UI components are located.
