separate functions in repository file

[farshidinanloo]

in this file lib/data/repository.dart there are multiple functions with separate business like (posts, login, theme and language) I guess it can be better to separate each of them to their own file so when project get bigger that repository file be clean and not bloated with many things.

Hi @farshidinanloo,

Thanks for your feedback. I totally agree with you that using a single repository is not a good idea when you have been working on a big project with many data sources. However, I have used a single repository to showcase how we can interact with different layers and pass data between them.

In a project with many data sources, you might use a DataManager holding reference of all the repositories as shown below:

DataManager

abstract class DataManager
    implements
        JobRepository,
        TaskRepository,
        ReceiptRepository,
        JobTaskReceiptRepository,
        TaskTemplatesRepository,
        UserRepository,
        NotificationsRepository,
        ConfigurationsRepository,
        DataRepository,
        ProblemRepository {}

JobRepository

abstract class JobRepository {
  Future<Tuple2<List<Job>, List<Problem>>> getJobs({List<int> jobIds});
  Future<bool> updateJob(Job job);
  Future<bool> clearAllJobs();
  Future<bool> removeJobs(List<int> jobIds);
  Future<SyncResult> syncAllJobs();
}

I hope this answers your question but feel free to ask if you have any questions.
