Flutter Design Patterns

Flutter/Dart implementation companion for mobile-app-design-mastery skill. Translates Refactoring UI principles into Flutter code.
Prerequisite: This skill provides Flutter-specific syntax. For mobile design theory and decision-making, reference

skill.

⚠️ CRITICAL: Project Theme First

ALWAYS check existing theme configuration before creating new styles.
If the project has
ThemeData
,
AppColors
,
AppTextStyles
, or similar—USE THEM:
dart
// Check lib/core/theme/ or lib/config/
// Common patterns:
AppColors.primary
AppTextStyles.headline
AppSpacing.md
context.theme.colorScheme.primary
Priority order:
  1. Project-defined theme (AppColors, AppTextStyles, custom ThemeExtension)
  2. Theme.of(context) access
  3. Hardcoded values as last resort only

ThemeData Setup (Material 3)

dart
MaterialApp(
  theme: ThemeData(
    useMaterial3: true,
    colorScheme: ColorScheme.fromSeed(
      seedColor: Colors.blue, // Brand color
      brightness: Brightness.light,
    ),
    textTheme: _textTheme,
  ),
  darkTheme: ThemeData(
    useMaterial3: true,
    colorScheme: ColorScheme.fromSeed(
      seedColor: Colors.blue,
      brightness: Brightness.dark,
    ),
    textTheme: _textTheme,
  ),
);

Color Access Patterns

dart
// ✅ CORRECT: Use ColorScheme
final colors = Theme.of(context).colorScheme;
Container(color: colors.primary)
Text('Hello', style: TextStyle(color: colors.onSurface))

// ✅ With extension
extension BuildContextX on BuildContext {
  ColorScheme get colors => Theme.of(this).colorScheme;
}
// Usage: context.colors.primary

// ❌ AVOID: Hardcoded colors
Container(color: Colors.blue) // Ignores theme
ColorScheme roles:
RoleLight ModeDark ModeUse Case
primary
Brand colorLighter brandCTAs, active states
onPrimary

onSurface
Gray-900WhiteBody text
surfaceContainerHighest
Gray-100Gray-800Elevated surfaces
outline
Gray-400Gray-600Borders

RedLight redError states

Typography (TextTheme)

Material 3 Type Scale:
StyleSize (sp)Use Case
displayLarge
57Hero text
displayMedium
45Large display
displaySmall
36Display
headlineLarge
32Large headings
headlineMedium
28Page titles
headlineSmall
24Section titles
titleLarge
22Card titles

14Small titles
bodyLarge
16Emphasis body
bodyMedium
14Default body
bodySmall
12Secondary text
labelLarge
14Buttons
labelMedium
12Labels
labelSmall
11Captions
dart
// ✅ CORRECT: Use TextTheme
Text('Title', style: Theme.of(context).textTheme.headlineMedium)

// With extension
extension BuildContextX on BuildContext {
  TextTheme get textTheme => Theme.of(this).textTheme;
}
// Usage: context.textTheme.bodyMedium

Spacing System (4dp Grid)

Create reusable spacing constants:
dart
abstract class AppSpacing {
  static const double xs = 4;
  static const double sm = 8;
  static const double md = 12;
  static const double base = 16;
  static const double lg = 24;
  static const double xl = 32;
  static const double xxl = 48;
  
  // SizedBox shortcuts
  static const SizedBox gapXs = SizedBox(height: xs, width: xs);
  static const SizedBox gapSm = SizedBox(height: sm, width: sm);
  static const SizedBox gapMd = SizedBox(height: md, width: md);
  static const SizedBox gapBase = SizedBox(height: base, width: base);
  static const SizedBox gapLg = SizedBox(height: lg, width: lg);
}

// Usage
Padding(padding: EdgeInsets.all(AppSpacing.base))
Column(children: [widget1, AppSpacing.gapMd, widget2])

BoxDecoration Patterns

Card (Flat)

dart
Container(
  decoration: BoxDecoration(
    color: colors.surface,
    borderRadius: BorderRadius.circular(12),
    border: Border.all(color: colors.outline.withOpacity(0.2)),
  ),
)

Card (Elevated)

dart
Container(
  decoration: BoxDecoration(
    color: colors.surface,
    borderRadius: BorderRadius.circular(12),
    boxShadow: [
      BoxShadow(
        color: Colors.black.withOpacity(0.08),
        blurRadius: 10,
        offset: const Offset(0, 2),
      ),
    ],
  ),
)

Input Field

dart
Container(
  decoration: BoxDecoration(
    color: colors.surface,
    borderRadius: BorderRadius.circular(8),
    border: Border.all(color: colors.outline),
  ),
)

Shadow Scale

dart
abstract class AppShadows {
  static List<BoxShadow> sm = [
    BoxShadow(
      color: Colors.black.withOpacity(0.05),
      blurRadius: 4,
      offset: const Offset(0, 1),
    ),
  ];
  
  static List<BoxShadow> md = [
    BoxShadow(
      color: Colors.black.withOpacity(0.08),
      blurRadius: 8,
      offset: const Offset(0, 2),
    ),
  ];
  
  static List<BoxShadow> lg = [
    BoxShadow(
      color: Colors.black.withOpacity(0.1),
      blurRadius: 16,
      offset: const Offset(0, 4),
    ),
  ];
  
  static List<BoxShadow> xl = [
    BoxShadow(
      color: Colors.black.withOpacity(0.15),
      blurRadius: 24,
      offset: const Offset(0, 8),
    ),
  ];
}

// Usage
Container(decoration: BoxDecoration(boxShadow: AppShadows.md))

Anti-Patterns

dart
// ❌ NEVER
Colors.blue                    // Hardcoded, ignores theme
TextStyle(fontSize: 16)        // Not from TextTheme
SizedBox(height: 17)           // Off 4dp grid
EdgeInsets.only(top: 20, left: 8)  // Asymmetric without reason

// ✅ INSTEAD
context.colors.primary
context.textTheme.bodyLarge
SizedBox(height: 16)           // On grid
EdgeInsets.all(16)             // Symmetric
