Agent-skills-standard flutter-error-handling

Implement functional error recovery with Either/Failure patterns. Use when writing repositories, handling exceptions, defining failures, or using Either in any Flutter layer. (triggers: lib/domain/**, lib/infrastructure/**, Either, fold, Left, Right, Failure, dartz)

Error Handling

Priority: P1 (HIGH)

Implementation Workflow

  1. Define failures — Create domain-specific failures using
    @freezed
    unions (e.g.,
    UnauthorizedFailure
    ,
    OutOfStockFailure
    ).
  2. Return Either — Repositories return
    Either<Failure, T>
    . No exceptions in UI/BLoC.
  3. Catch in Infrastructure only — Infrastructure catches exceptions (e.g.,
    DioException
    ) and returns
    Left(Failure)
    . Never rethrow to UI.
  4. Fold in BLoC — Use
    .fold(failure, success)
    in BLoC to emit corresponding states. Remove try/catch from BLoC.
  5. Localize messages — Use
    failure.failureMessage
    (returns
    TRObject
    or localized string) for UI-safe text.
  6. Log with stable templates — Use low-cardinality message templates; pass variable data via metadata/context.
  7. No Silent Catch: Never swallow errors without logging or documented retry.
  8. Crashlytics Routing: All UI/BLoC
    catch
    blocks MUST route errors via
    AppLogger.error(AppException.fromException(e).message, error: e, stackTrace: st)
    for observability and type-safe UI messages.

Repository & BLoC Examples

See implementation examples for repository error mapping and BLoC consumption patterns.

Reference & Examples

For Failure definitions and API error mapping: See references/REFERENCE.md.

Anti-Patterns

  • No Try-Catch in BLoC: BLoC receives
    Either
    and
    folds
    ; try/catch belongs in Infrastructure
  • No Plain String Failures: Define typed
    @freezed
    Failure subclasses instead of
    Left('Something went wrong')
  • No Empty Catch Blocks: Always log and propagate; never swallow errors silently
  • No Repositories Throwing Status: Return
    Left(Failure)
    instead of throwing
    Exception
  • No Missing Log Registration: Use
    AppLogger.error
    in BLoC/UI
    catch
    to ensure Crashlytics tracking and type-safe UI messages
