## Configuration
|
||||
|
||||
### 1. API Base URL
|
||||
Update in `/lib/core/constants/api_constants.dart`:
|
||||
```dart
|
||||
static const String baseUrl = 'https://your-api-url.com';
|
||||
```
|

static const bool useMockData = true;
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### 3. Adjust Timeouts
|
||||
```dart
|
||||
static const int connectTimeout = 30000; // 30 seconds
|
||||
static const int receiveTimeout = 30000;
|
||||
static const int sendTimeout = 30000;
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### 4. Configure Retry Logic
|
||||
```dart
|
||||
static const int maxRetries = 3;
|
||||
static const int retryDelay = 1000; // 1 second
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
## Usage
|
||||
|
||||
### Initialize Dependencies

void main() async {
|
||||
WidgetsFlutterBinding.ensureInitialized();
|
||||
await di.initDependencies();
|
||||
runApp(const MyApp());
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Fetch Data
|
||||
```dart
|
||||
final productDataSource = sl<ProductRemoteDataSource>();
|
||||
final products = await productDataSource.fetchProducts();
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Handle Errors
|
||||
```dart
|
||||
try {
|
||||
final products = await productDataSource.fetchProducts();
|
||||
} on NoInternetException {
|
||||
// Show offline message
|
||||
} on ServerException catch (e) {
|
||||
// Show server error message
|
||||
} on NetworkException catch (e) {
|
||||
// Show network error message
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Check Connectivity
|
||||
```dart
|
||||
final networkInfo = sl<NetworkInfo>();
|
||||
final isConnected = await networkInfo.isConnected;
|
||||
|
||||
if (isConnected) {
|
||||
// Fetch from API
|
||||
} else {
|
||||
// Use cached data
|
||||
}

|
||||
- `GetProductsByCategory`
|
||||
- `SearchProducts`
|
||||
- `SyncProducts`
|
||||
- Similar for categories
|
||||
|
||||
### 3. Riverpod Providers
|
||||
Wire up data layer with UI:
|
||||
- Products provider
|
||||
- Categories provider
|
||||
- Network status provider
|
||||
- Sync status provider
|
||||
|
||||
### 4. Enhanced Features
|
||||
- Request caching with Hive
|
||||
- Background sync worker
|
||||
- Pagination support
|
||||
- Image caching optimization
|
||||
- Authentication flow
|
||||
- Token refresh logic
|
||||
- Error tracking (Sentry/Firebase)
|
||||
|
||||
### 5. Testing
|
||||
- Unit tests for data sources
|
||||
- Integration tests for API calls
|
||||
- Widget tests with mock providers
|
||||
