Implementation Guidelines

• Controllers: Extend GetxController. Store logic and state variables here.
• Reactivity:
• Use .obs for observable variables (e.g., final count = 0.obs;).
• Wrap UI in Obx(() => ...) to listen for changes.
• For simple state, use update() in controller and GetBuilder in UI.
• Dependency Injection:
• Bindings: Use Bindings class to decouple DI from UI.
• Lazy Load: Prefer Get.lazyPut(() => Controller()) in Bindings.
• Lifecycle: Let GetX handle disposal. Avoid permanent: true.
• Hooks: Use onInit(), onReady(), onClose() instead of initState/dispose.
• Architecture: Use get_cli for modular MVVM (data, models, modules).

Anti-Patterns

• Ctx in Logic: Pass no BuildContext to controllers.
• Inline DI: Avoid Get.put() in widgets; use Bindings + Get.find.
• Fat Views: Keep views pure UI; delegate all logic to controller.

Code Example

See references/controller-example.md for controller + view implementation pattern.

Controller boundary

• Keep BuildContext out of controllers. Use GetX services such as Get.snackbar for controller-owned feedback and expose reactive state to the view.

Remediation anchors

• Remediation anchors: onInit, Obx, no BuildContext in the controller
