Issue tracking / Repository

From issues to wikis: everything is on GitHub

Architecture

Lemmur is written in Dart using Flutter. To communicate with Lemmy instances lemmy_api_client is used.

State management

ChangeNotifier + Provider is used for global state management, flutter_hooks is used for local (widget-level) state management. StatefulWidgets are avoided all together and any state logic reuse is moved to a custom hook.

Project structure

(relative to lib/)

  • hooks/: reusable state hooks
  • pages/: fullscreen pages that you navigate to
  • stores/: global stores
  • util/: utilities
  • widgets/: reusable widgets; building blocks for pages
  • main.dart: entrypoint of the app. Sets up the stores, initializes the themes, renders the first page

Things to keep in mind

  • Be aware that Lemmur supports arbitrary Lemmy instances, don't hardcode instance urls
  • Remember that a user is not obligated to be logged in, contributed widgets should handle this case

Linting / Formatting

Everything is formatted with dartfmt (no flags) and linted with dartanalyzer (see rules). Both are enforced by the CI.
