Retrofit & Dio Networking

Implementation Workflow

  1. Define Retrofit clients — Create abstract classes with @RestApi() and HTTP annotations (@GET, @POST). Methods return Future<DTO>.
  2. Create DTOs — Use @freezed and @JsonSerializable for all request/response bodies.
  3. Map to domain — Data sources must map DTOs to Domain Entities (e.g., userDto.toDomain()).
  4. Guard enums — Always use @JsonKey(unknownEnumValue: Status.unknown) to prevent crashes from new backend values.
  5. Add auth interceptor — Inject Authorization: Bearer <token> in onRequest.
  6. Handle token refresh — On 401, lock Dio, call refreshToken(), update stored token, retry via dio.fetch(err.requestOptions).
  7. Map failures — Convert DioException to typed Failure objects (ServerFailure, NetworkFailure).

Retrofit Client & Safe Enum DTO Examples

See implementation examples for RestClient definitions and safe enum DTO patterns.

Anti-Patterns

  • No Manual JSON Parsing: Use Retrofit's generated mappers instead of jsonDecode
  • No Global Dio Instances: Inject Dio through DI
  • No Inline Try-Catch: repository layer should handle all Retrofit exceptions
  • No Unguarded Enums: Always include unknownEnumValue to prevent crashes on new backend values

Reference & Examples
