Project Structure

The project is divided into layers

• Data Layer

  • Local DB
  • API Service
  • Shared Preferences

• Domain Layer

  • repository

• Feature Layer

  • presentation/UI (widgets)
  • business logic (riverpod)

Each Layer has it's own function and jurisdictions

the correct flow of data is represented in the list above

Data Layer

This would be properly documented when we have a full grasp of all the different ways the app interacts with data both locally and from the internet

this consists of the models folder, some services that would be represented later like database and shared prefs, api requests, serialization and deserialization, etc

Domain Layer

This is the connection between the data layer and presentation layer the domain layer handles transmission to and fro the data layer

this consists solely of the repository folder, this is the handshake between the other two layers

Feature Layer

This is where all of our UI and it's related logic would be handled

this consists of the views, widgets and some config files
