Prompting Playbook for Dart

• Specify your state management library (Riverpod 2.x, Bloc, Provider, GetX) explicitly, as the patterns and code generation differ dramatically between them
• When asking for Flutter UI code, include your theme configuration (Material 3, custom theme) and target platforms to get correct widget choices
• For code generation (freezed, json_serializable), provide your existing model classes so the AI generates compatible part/part of directives and build_runner configurations
• Mention your minimum Dart SDK version (3.0+, 3.2+) to get modern features like records, patterns, and class modifiers in the generated code
• Include your pubspec.yaml dependencies when asking for feature implementations so the AI uses packages you already have instead of suggesting new ones

Riverpod async data fetching with caching

A Riverpod provider with async data fetching, error handling, and a corresponding Flutter widget demonstrating the state management pattern AI tools generate well.

import 'package:flutter_riverpod/flutter_riverpod.dart';
import 'package:flutter/material.dart';

@riverpod
Future<List<Product>> products(ProductsRef ref) async {
  final response = await ref.watch(apiClientProvider).get('/products');
  return (response.data as List)
      .map((json) => Product.fromJson(json as Map<String, dynamic>))
      .toList();
}

class ProductListScreen extends ConsumerWidget {
  const ProductListScreen({super.key});

  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context, WidgetRef ref) {
    final productsAsync = ref.watch(productsProvider);
    return Scaffold(
      appBar: AppBar(title: const Text('Products')),
      body: productsAsync.when(
        loading: () => const Center(child: CircularProgressIndicator()),
        error: (err, stack) => Center(
          child: Column(
            mainAxisSize: MainAxisSize.min,
            children: [
              Text('Error: $err'),
              ElevatedButton(
                onPressed: () => ref.invalidate(productsProvider),
                child: const Text('Retry'),
              ),
            ],
          ),
        ),
        data: (products) => ListView.builder(
          itemCount: products.length,
          itemBuilder: (_, i) => ProductTile(product: products[i]),
        ),
      ),
    );
  }
}
