How to Use GetX Architecture in Your Flutter App
Step 1: Organize Your Project
Start by organizing your project in a way that makes it easy to manage. Here’s an example folder structure:
lib/
├── controllers/
├── models/
├── views/
├── bindings/
├── routes/
├── services/
└── main.dart
Each folder serves a specific purpose:
- controllers/: Manages the app’s logic.
- models/: Stores data structures.
- views/: Contains the UI code.
- bindings/: Connects controllers to routes.
- routes/: Defines the navigation paths.
- services/: Handles background tasks like API calls.
Step 2: Add GetX to Your Project
dependencies:
get: ^4.6.5
Run flutter pub get to download the package.
Step 3: Create a Controller
Controllers manage the app’s logic and state.
import 'package:get/get.dart';
class CounterController extends GetxController {
var count = 0.obs;
void increment() {
count++;
}
}
Step 4: Bind the Controller
Use bindings to initialize controllers automatically when a screen is accessed.
import 'package:get/get.dart';
import 'controllers/counter_controller.dart';
class CounterBinding extends Bindings {
@override
void dependencies() {
Get.lazyPut<CounterController>(() => CounterController());
}
}
Step 5: Build the UI
Use Obx widgets to update the UI whenever the state changes.
import 'package:flutter/material.dart';
import 'package:get/get.dart';
import 'controllers/counter_controller.dart';
class CounterView extends StatelessWidget {
@override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
final CounterController controller = Get.find();
return Scaffold(
appBar: AppBar(title: Text('GetX Counter')),
body: Center(
child: Obx(() => Text(
'Count: ${controller.count}',
style: TextStyle(fontSize: 24),
)),
),
floatingActionButton: FloatingActionButton(
onPressed: controller.increment,
child: Icon(Icons.add),
),
);
}
}
Step 6: Set Up Navigation
Define routes for easy navigation.
import 'package:get/get.dart';
import 'bindings/counter_binding.dart';
import 'views/counter_view.dart';
class AppRoutes {
static final routes = [
GetPage(
name: '/counter',
page: () => CounterView(),
binding: CounterBinding(),
),
];
}
Step 7: Start the App
Initialize your app with GetX.
import 'package:flutter/material.dart';
import 'package:get/get.dart';
import 'routes/app_routes.dart';
void main() {
runApp(GetMaterialApp(
initialRoute: '/counter',
getPages: AppRoutes.routes,
));
}
Why This Setup Works
-
Modular Design: Keeps the app organized and scalable.
-
Reusable Components: Write code once and use it everywhere.
- Simplified Navigation: Manage even complex routes with ease.
