REVIEW GUIDELINES

1. Effective Dart: Style

Rule	Description
UpperCamelCase	Types, extensions, enums use UpperCamelCase
lowerCamelCase	Variables, functions, parameters, constants use lowerCamelCase
lowercase_with_underscores	Packages, directories, source files use snake_case
Import Ordering	Order: dart: → package: → relative. Sort alphabetically within sections
Curly Braces	Use curly braces for all flow control statements
Line Length	Prefer lines 80 characters or fewer

Examples:

// ❌ BAD - Wrong casing
class user_entity {}
const MAX_RETRY = 3;

// ✅ GOOD - Correct casing
class UserEntity {}
const maxRetry = 3;

---

2. Effective Dart: Usage

Rule	Description
Don't Init Null	Don't explicitly initialize variables to null
Collection Literals	Use [], {}, <>{} instead of List(), Map(), Set()
isEmpty/isNotEmpty	Use .isEmpty instead of .length == 0
Avoid forEach	Prefer for-in over Iterable.forEach() with function literals
Use whereType	Use whereType<T>() to filter by type instead of where + cast
Avoid cast()	Avoid using .cast(), prefer type-safe alternatives
Tear-offs	Use list.map(toUpper) instead of list.map((s) => toUpper(s))
Final Fields	Prefer final for read-only properties
Avoid Color.withValues	Use withOpacity() instead of withValues() for SDK < 3.27.0 compatibility

Examples:

// ❌ BAD
String? name = null;
if (list.length == 0) {}
items.forEach((item) { process(item); });

// ✅ GOOD
String? name;
if (list.isEmpty) {}
if (list.isEmpty) {}
for (final item in items) { process(item); }

// ❌ BAD - Requires Flutter 3.27.0+
color.withValues(alpha: 0.5);

// ✅ GOOD - Compatible with Flutter 3.10.7+
color.withOpacity(0.5);

---

3. Effective Dart: Design (Naming)

Rule	Description
Avoid Abbreviations	Use buttonText instead of btnTxt
Descriptive Noun Last	Use pageCount not countOfPages
Boolean Names	Use non-imperative verbs: isEnabled, hasValue, canClose
Positive Names	Use isVisible instead of isHidden (prefer positive)
Avoid get Prefix	Use user property instead of getUser() method
to___ / as___	Use toJson() for copies, asList() for views

---

4. Naming Conventions (Project-Specific)

Rule	Description
Intention-Revealing Names	Variable/function names must answer: Why it exists, what it does, and how it is used
BLoC Event Semantics	Events must use past tense or intent-based nouns (e.g., TopUpSubmitted, PinChanged)
BLoC State Semantics	States must describe the current UI status (e.g., BalanceLoading, PaymentSuccess)
Searchable Names	Avoid "Magic Numbers" or "Magic Strings". Use named constants (e.g., maxPinAttempts instead of 3)

Examples:

// ❌ BAD
var d; // days elapsed

// ✅ GOOD
var daysSinceLastTransaction;

---

5. Code Smells (refactoring.guru)

[!WARNING] Watch for these common code smells that indicate deeper problems.

Bloaters

Smell	Description	Fix
Long Method	Function > 20 lines	Extract smaller functions
Large Class	Class doing too much	Split into focused classes
Primitive Obsession	Using primitives instead of small objects	Create value objects (e.g., Money, Email)
Long Parameter List	> 3 parameters	Use parameter object or builder
Data Clumps	Same group of data appearing together	Extract into a class

OO Abusers

Smell	Description	Fix
Switch Statements	Complex switch/if-else chains	Use polymorphism or strategy pattern
Temporary Field	Fields only used in certain situations	Extract class or use null object
Refused Bequest	Subclass doesn't use inherited methods	Replace inheritance with delegation

Change Preventers

Smell	Description	Fix
Divergent Change	One class changed for different reasons	Split by responsibility
Shotgun Surgery	One change requires editing many classes	Move related code together

Dispensables

Smell	Description	Fix
Dead Code	Unreachable or unused code	Delete it
Duplicate Code	Same code in multiple places	Extract method/class
Lazy Class	Class that does too little	Inline or merge
Speculative Generality	Unused abstractions "for future"	Remove until needed

Couplers

Smell	Description	Fix
Feature Envy	Method uses another class's data more than its own	Move method to that class
Message Chains	a.b().c().d() chains	Hide delegation, Law of Demeter
Middle Man	Class delegates everything	Remove or inline

---

6. Official Flutter & Dart AI Rules

[!TIP] These rules are derived from the official Flutter AI Rules to ensure modern, performant, and maintainable code.

Visual Design & Theming

Rule	Description
Premium Feel	Apply subtle noise texture to backgrounds; use multi-layered drop shadows for depth.
Typography	Use font sizes and weights (hero text, section headlines) to guide understanding.
Interactive Glow	Interactive elements (buttons, sliders) should have shadows/colors that create a "glow" effect.

Performance & Optimization

Rule	Description
Const Constructors	Use const variables and constructors extensively to reduce widget rebuilds.
List Performance	Always use ListView.builder or SliverList for long/lazy-loaded lists.
Isolates	Use compute() for expensive calculations (e.g., JSON parsing) to avoid blocking the UI.
Build Method	Keep build() pure and fast. Move complex logic or network calls out of build().
Callback Optimization	Move expensive operations (FFI, I/O, parsing) outside callbacks that execute frequently.

// ❌ BAD - FFI call on every callback invocation
client.callback = () {
  fingerprints = loadFromFFI(); // Called every time!
  validate(fingerprints);
};

// ✅ GOOD - Load once, capture in closure
fingerprints = loadFromFFI();
client.callback = () {
  validate(fingerprints); // Uses captured value
};

Best Practices

Rule	Description
Composition	Favor composition over inheritance. Build complex UIs from smaller, private Widget classes (not helper methods).
Immutability	Widgets (especially StatelessWidget) should be immutable.
State Management	Separate ephemeral state (UI) from app state (Business Logic). Use Bloc/Cubit for app state as per project standard.
Testing	Prefer package:checks for expressive assertions if applicable. Write code with testing in mind.

---

7. Functions & Logic (The Power of Small)

Rule	Requirement
Small & Single Responsibility (SRP)	Max 20 lines per function. If it has "And", split it
Monadic/Dyadic Arguments	Max 2 arguments. If 3+, wrap into a Data Class/Entity
Command Query Separation (CQS)	A function should either perform an action (Command) OR return data (Query), never both

---

8. Architecture & Layers (Isolation)

Rule	Description
Law of Demeter	Modules should not know the inner details of objects they manipulate
Layer Purity (Domain)	Strictly NO imports from package:flutter/material.dart or external SDKs
Layer Purity (Data)	Must map DTOs (JSON) to Domain Entities before returning to Repository
Tell, Don't Ask	Don't pull data out to process it. Tell the object to perform its own logic

Examples:

// ❌ BAD - Violates Law of Demeter
user.wallet.balance.currency.symbol

// ✅ GOOD
user.getCurrencySymbol()

---

9. BLoC & State Management

Rule	Description
Strict Immutability	All states must be final. Use @freezed or Equatable. Never mutate; always copyWith
Functional Error Handling	Use Either<Failure, Success> for UseCases. Force the caller to handle failures
Side Effect Isolation	Use BlocListener for navigation/dialogs. Keep BlocBuilder pure for UI rendering

---

10. Error Handling & Null Safety

Rule	Description
Don't Return/Pass Null	Return empty collections [] or Null Objects instead of null
Contextual Exceptions	Throw domain-specific exceptions (e.g., InsufficientFundsException) over generic errors
Type Safety on Dynamic Data	Always verify type before casting from Map<String, dynamic> or JSON data
Guard Before API Calls	Check for null/empty values before making network requests
Guard Widget Generation	Don't generate widgets (e.g., QR codes) with invalid/empty data

Examples:

// ❌ BAD - No type check, can throw runtime error
if (data.containsKey('message')) {
  message = data['message']; // Fails if value is int, null, etc.
}

// ✅ GOOD - Type-safe access
if (data['message'] is String) {
  message = data['message'] as String;
}

// ❌ BAD - Empty string fallback may cause invalid API calls
final result = await useCase(entity.address ?? '');

// ✅ GOOD - Guard before API call
final address = entity.address;
if (address == null || address.isEmpty) {
  return entity; // Skip processing for invalid data
}
final result = await useCase(address);

// ❌ BAD - Generates useless widget with empty data
final qrCode = QrCode.fromData(data: address ?? '');

// ✅ GOOD - Guard widget generation, update on changes
QrImage? _qrImage;
void _generateQrImage() {
  if (address == null || address.isEmpty) {
    _qrImage = null;
    return;
  }
  _qrImage = QrImage(QrCode.fromData(data: address));
}

11. Security: OWASP Mobile Top 10

[!CAUTION] CRITICAL: These are non-negotiable security requirements based on OWASP Mobile Top 10.

Mobile Top 10 - 2024 (Current)

Risk	Description	Verification
M1: Improper Credential Usage	Hardcoded secrets, API keys in code	No secrets in source code; use env vars or secure storage
M2: Inadequate Supply Chain Security	Vulnerable dependencies	Run flutter pub outdated; audit third-party packages
M3: Insecure Authentication/Authorization	Weak authentication flows	Use proper token management; validate on server-side
M4: Insufficient Input/Output Validation	Injection, XSS, path traversal	Sanitize all user inputs; validate before processing
M5: Insecure Communication	HTTP, no cert pinning	HTTPS only; implement certificate pinning
M6: Inadequate Privacy Controls	Excessive data collection, PII exposure	No logging of PII, card numbers, wallet addresses
M7: Insufficient Binary Protections	Reverse engineering, tampering	Enable code obfuscation (--obfuscate)
M8: Security Misconfiguration	Debug mode in production, insecure defaults	Disable debug flags; review AndroidManifest/Info.plist
M9: Insecure Data Storage	Plaintext sensitive data	Use flutter_secure_storage for all secrets/tokens
M10: Insufficient Cryptography	Weak algorithms, hardcoded keys	Use platform crypto; never hardcode encryption keys

📜 Mobile Top 10 - 2016

Risk	Description
M1: Improper Platform Usage	Misuse of platform features or security controls
M2: Insecure Data Storage	Unprotected data in SQLite, logs, plist, cookies
M3: Insecure Communication	Lack of TLS, weak handshake, cleartext traffic
M4: Insecure Authentication	Anonymous auth, weak passwords

Upcoming Risks (Not Yet in Top 10)

• Data Leakage, Hardcoded Secrets, Insecure Access Control
• Path Overwrite/Traversal, Unprotected Endpoints (Deeplinks), Unsafe Sharing

Flutter-Specific Checks:

// ❌ BAD - Hardcoded API key (M1)
const apiKey = 'sk_live_abc123...';

// ✅ GOOD - From secure storage
final apiKey = await secureStorage.read(key: 'api_key');

// ❌ BAD - Debug-only configuration without guard (M8)
class DebugSslConfiguration {
  const DebugSslConfiguration(); // Can be used in production!
}

// ✅ GOOD - Runtime assertion prevents production usage
class DebugSslConfiguration {
  DebugSslConfiguration() {
    assert(kDebugMode, 'Must only be used in debug mode.');
  }
}

// ❌ BAD - Insecure default (M8)
DioFactory({SslConfiguration ssl = const NoSslPinning()});

// ✅ GOOD - Secure default with auto-selection
DioFactory({SslConfiguration ssl = const AutoSslConfiguration()});

// ❌ BAD - Logging sensitive security data (M6)
talker.debug('Fingerprints: $fingerprints');
talker.debug('Token: $authToken');

// ✅ GOOD - Log counts, not values; gate debug logs
talker.debug('Fingerprints loaded: ${fingerprints.length} entries');
assert(() {
  talker.debug('Debug fingerprint: $fingerprint');
  return true;
}());

12. Unit Test Standards (F.I.R.S.T)

Principle	Description
Fast	Tests must run quickly
Independent	Tests should not depend on each other
Repeatable	Must pass in any environment (Local/CI)
Self-Validating	Clear Boolean output (Pass/Fail)
Timely	Write tests alongside or before code (TDD mindset)

Bloc/Cubit Testing Requirements

[!IMPORTANT] Resource Cleanup: All Blocs and Cubits MUST be closed in the tearDown() method to prevent stream/subscription leaks.

Rule	Requirement	Reason
Close in tearDown	MUST call bloc.close() or cubit.close() in tearDown()	Prevents memory leaks from unclosed streams/subscriptions
Setup/TearDown Pattern	Create bloc in setUp(), close in tearDown()	Ensures proper lifecycle management
Late Variables	Use late keyword for bloc/cubit declarations	Allows initialization in setUp()

Example:

// ❌ BAD - Bloc never closed, causes resource leak
void main() {
  late TransactionBloc bloc;
  late MockGetTransactionUseCase mockUseCase;

  setUp(() {
    mockUseCase = MockGetTransactionUseCase();
    bloc = TransactionBloc(mockUseCase);
  });
  // Missing tearDown - RESOURCE LEAK!

  test('should emit success state', () {
    // test code...
  });
}

// ✅ GOOD - Bloc properly closed in tearDown
void main() {
  late TransactionBloc bloc;
  late MockGetTransactionUseCase mockUseCase;

  setUp(() {
    mockUseCase = MockGetTransactionUseCase();
    bloc = TransactionBloc(mockUseCase);
  });

  tearDown(() {
    bloc.close();  // ← REQUIRED: Close bloc to prevent leaks
  });

  test('should emit success state', () {
    // test code...
  });
}

Why This Matters:

• Blocs/Cubits create streams and subscriptions
• Unclosed streams leak memory across test runs
• Can cause flaky tests and CI failures
• Proper cleanup ensures test independence (F.I.R.S.T principle)

13. Freezed Standards

[!IMPORTANT] Verify all freezed models follow the project's strict conventions. These are mandatory for all data classes.

Structure Requirements

Rule	Requirement	Example
Abstract Class	MUST use abstract class for all freezed models	abstract class UserModel with _$UserModel
Private Constructor	MUST include const ClassName._();	const UserModel._();
@JsonSerializable	SHOULD use @JsonSerializable(includeIfNull: false)	On factory constructor
@JsonKey on ALL fields	MUST use @JsonKey(name: 'field_name') for EVERY field	Even when names match
Nullable Fields	PREFER nullable types (String?, int?)	For optional API fields
One Object, One File	MUST have each class in its own dedicated file	Never multiple classes per file

Required Imports

Import	Purpose
package:flutter/foundation.dart	Required for debugFillProperties support
package:freezed_annotation/freezed_annotation.dart	Freezed annotations

File Organization

[!NOTE] The // coverage:ignore-file comment is ONLY for generated files and freezed models. DO NOT add // coverage:ignore-file to test files (files in test/ directories).

// Copyright (c) 2026, one of DanhDue ExOICTIF projects. All rights reserved.

// coverage:ignore-file  ← ONLY for generated/model files, NOT for test files
// ignore_for_file: invalid_annotation_target

import 'package:flutter/foundation.dart';
import 'package:freezed_annotation/freezed_annotation.dart';

part '{model_name}.freezed.dart';
part '{model_name}.g.dart';

@freezed
abstract class ModelName with _$ModelName {
  const ModelName._();  // ← REQUIRED: Private constructor

  @JsonSerializable(includeIfNull: false)
  const factory ModelName({
    @JsonKey(name: 'field_name') String? fieldName,  // ← @JsonKey on ALL fields
    @JsonKey(name: 'count') int? count,
  }) = _ModelName;

  factory ModelName.fromJson(Map<String, Object?> json) =>
      _$ModelNameFromJson(json);
}

Examples

// ❌ BAD - Missing abstract, private constructor, and @JsonKey
@freezed
class UserModel with _$UserModel {
  const factory UserModel({
    required String id,       // Missing @JsonKey
    required String name,
  }) = _UserModel;
}

// ✅ GOOD - Complete freezed implementation
@freezed
abstract class UserModel with _$UserModel {
  const UserModel._();  // Private constructor

  @JsonSerializable(includeIfNull: false)
  const factory UserModel({
    @JsonKey(name: 'id') required String id,
    @JsonKey(name: 'name') required String name,
    @JsonKey(name: 'email') String? email,
  }) = _UserModel;

  factory UserModel.fromJson(Map<String, Object?> json) =>
      _$UserModelFromJson(json);
}

---

14. Code Quality

Aspect	Verification
Freezed Models	All entities and models follow Freezed Standards (Section 13)
Import Convention	Always use full package paths (e.g., import 'package:bloc_digital_wallet/...') instead of relative imports
Boilerplate	Identify code that could be generated using Mason Bricks (mvi_feature, mvi_subfeature)
Testing Coverage	New logic is accompanied by Unit Tests for UseCases/BLoCs
One Object, One File	Each freezed class MUST have its own dedicated .dart file

INITIAL QUALITY CHECKS

[!IMPORTANT] MANDATORY FIRST STEP: Before reviewing any code changes, you MUST perform these quality checks in order.

Step 1: Generate Source Code & Apply Standards

Run melos genAlls to ensure all generated code is up-to-date and license headers are applied:

melos genAlls

This command will:

• Run build_runner to generate freezed models, JSON serialization, and other code-generated files
• Apply license headers to all source files
• Format code according to project standards

Step 2: Static Analysis

Run fvm dart analyze to detect code quality issues, lints, and potential bugs:

fvm dart analyze

Review the output for:

• Lint violations
• Type errors
• Unused imports or variables
• Deprecated API usage
• Potential null safety issues

Step 3: Verify Quality Rules

Check that the code adheres to project-specific quality standards:

• Import Paths: All lib/ files use package imports (not relative imports)
• Freezed Models: All data classes use @freezed with @JsonKey annotations
• Line Length: Code is formatted to 99 characters max
• Retrofit Clients: All clients have explicit baseUrl parameters
• Dart Shorthands: Use .infinity, .maxFinite, .zero where applicable

Step 4: Build Verification (Optional)

If changes affect core functionality, verify the build succeeds:

# For code generation (freezed, retrofit, etc.)
melos build_runner

# For full app build
flutter build apk --debug
# or
melos build_apk

[!CAUTION] If any of these checks fail, STOP and fix the issues before proceeding with the PR review. Do not review code that doesn't pass basic quality gates.

EXAMPLES

Example Critical Issues

### 🚨 Critical Issues (Architecture/Security/Logic)

- **wallet_bloc.dart : Line 45**: Logging wallet address value -> Remove `debugPrint('Address: $walletAddress')` or mask sensitive data

- **transfer_usecase.dart : Line 23**: UseCase imports Flutter's BuildContext -> Move context-dependent logic to Presentation layer

- **home_page.dart : Line 112**: Hardcoded color `Color(0xFF123456)` -> Use `context.appThemes.colorScheme.primary`

- **auth_repository_impl.dart : Line 67**: Token stored in SharedPreferences -> Use `FlutterSecureStorage` for sensitive credentials

- **payment_bloc.dart : Line 34**: Magic number `3` used for retry count -> Use named constant `MAX_RETRY_ATTEMPTS`

- **user_entity.dart : Line 15**: Law of Demeter violation `user.wallet.balance.amount` -> Create `user.getBalanceAmount()` method

Example Refactoring Suggestions

### 💡 Refactoring & Style (Flutter/Dart)

- Consider using `const` constructor for `TransactionCard` widget at `transaction_card.dart:15` to prevent unnecessary rebuilds

- The `TransactionEntity` could be generated via freezed. Current manual implementation at `transaction_entity.dart` increases maintenance burden

- Replace `BlocBuilder` with `BlocSelector` at `home_page.dart:78` to only rebuild when specific state property changes

- Use `context.t.homeTitle` instead of hardcoded string "Home" at `home_page.dart:45`

- Function `processPaymentAndUpdateBalance()` at `payment_usecase.dart:28` violates SRP - split into `processPayment()` and `updateBalance()`

- Event name `Load` at `home_bloc.dart:12` is too generic -> Rename to `HomeDataRequested` for clarity

Example Final Verdicts

### ✅ Final Verdict

🟢 **LGTM** - Code follows best practices, no critical issues found.

🟡 **Needs Work** - Minor issues found that should be addressed before merging.

🔴 **Request Changes** - Critical security/architecture violations must be fixed.
