0. Meta Information

0.1 Motivation and relevance of the work

0.2 Target Audience

1. Introduction

1.1 Flutter under the hood?

1.1.1 It's all widgets (widget tree, element tree, renderObject tree)

1.1.2 Types of Widgets (stateless, stateful, inherited)

1.2 What is state?

1.2.1 Definition of state in flutter

1.2.2 ephemeral state & app state

1.3 How does flutter react to state changes?

1.3.1 widget tree & element tree & renderObject tree

1.4 state management

1.4.1 principle of lifting state up

2. Methodology (sets boundaries for part 3: Results)

2.1 Architecture (DDD principles)

2.2 State Management Solution in Application Layer

2.3 Weather App Example

2.4 Weather App Widget Tree

3. Results

3.1 Patterns in state management solutions (mutable/immutable)

Each example consist of 5 paragraphs:

(1) Introduction,
(2) mutable/immutable,
(3) pattern/concept,
(4) code implementation in app,
(5) benefits/challenges/outcomes

3.2 Examples

3.2.1 Stateful Widget

3.2.2 Inherited Widget

3.2.3 ChangenotifierProvider

3.2.4 BLoC (Vanilla) Rxdart

3.2.5 Flutter_bloc

3.2.6 Redux

3.2.7 MobX

3.2.8 States_rebuilder

4. Discussion (depends on part 3: Results)

how well did it work out to implement the solution into the architecture?
how many guides and/or tutorials for the solution can be found?
how easy is it to learn?
how much boilerplate needs to be implemented?
how many lines of code in application and presentation layer

5. Conclusion (summary of part 4: Discussion)

use the right tool for the job
which solution is suited to help with state management in example, small-scale, middle-scale, large-scale applications
