Why Architecture Matters
Flutter makes it easy to build quickly, but production apps need more than fast UI work. Clean architecture keeps business rules, data access, and presentation code separated so teams can add features without creating a fragile codebase.
Recommended Layers
A practical Flutter structure usually includes presentation, domain, and data layers. The presentation layer owns widgets and state, the domain layer models use cases, and the data layer handles APIs, storage, and external services.
How OpenStair Applies It
For client apps, OpenStair uses architecture patterns that match the product stage. Smaller MVPs stay lightweight, while larger applications receive stronger boundaries, testing support, and clear feature modules.
