Quick Patterns

Design Token System

abstract class AppColors {
  // Primary palette
  static const primary = Color(0xFF2563EB);
  static const primaryLight = Color(0xFF3B82F6);
  static const primaryDark = Color(0xFF1D4ED8);

  // Semantic colors
  static const success = Color(0xFF10B981);
  static const warning = Color(0xFFF59E0B);
  static const error = Color(0xFFEF4444);
}

abstract class AppSpacing {
  static const xs = 4.0;
  static const sm = 8.0;
  static const md = 16.0;
  static const lg = 24.0;
  static const xl = 32.0;
}

Responsive Breakpoints

class Breakpoints {
  static const mobile = 600.0;
  static const tablet = 900.0;
  static const desktop = 1200.0;

  static bool isMobile(BuildContext context) =>
    MediaQuery.of(context).size.width < mobile;
}
