Functions-implementation
✅ AppFunctionService refactored with
executeCallable<T>()method- Type-safe Either<ErrorSchema, T> return type
- Automatic response parsing for {status, data/error} format
- Firebase error code mapping to ErrorSchema
- Comprehensive error handling with detailed logging
✅ AppFunction<E, R> base class updated
- Generic error (E) and result (R) types
- Returns Either<E, R> from execute()
- Support for custom error types via errorFromJson
- Backward compatible with existing code
✅ ErrorSchema integration
- Already exists in store package with proper structure
- Includes AppErrorCode and AppErrorCategory enums
- Comprehensive error metadata (code, category, title, message, cause)
✅ SearchFunction migrated to new pattern
- Returns Either<ErrorSchema, SearchResponseSchema>
- Clean typed search() method
- Removed try-catch boilerplate
✅ StripeRefreshAccountFunction created as example
- Demonstrates Stripe integration pattern
- Shows how to wrap request/response schemas
- Includes comprehensive documentation
- ✅ GeneralSearchResults deprecated with migration notes
- ✅ AppFunctionError deprecated in favor of ErrorSchema
- ✅ Old classes kept for gradual migration
- ✅ README.md - Quick start and reference guide
- ✅ ARCHITECTURE_PROPOSAL.md - Design details and rationale
- ✅ MIGRATION_GUIDE.md - Step-by-step migration instructions
- ✅ EXAMPLE_USAGE.dart - Comprehensive code examples
- ✅ Build runner executed successfully
- ✅ All freezed/json_serializable code generated
- ✅ No compilation errors

// Compile-time guarantees
Either<ErrorSchema, SearchResponseSchema> result = await searchFn.search(...);
// No more:
// - Null checks
// - Runtime type casts
// - Unhandled errors
result.fold(
(error) {
// Structured error with:
// - error.code (enum)
// - error.category (enum)
// - error.title (string)
// - error.message (string)
// - error.endpoint (string)

},

// Typed success data
},
);
# Backend returns:
{
'status': 'success' | 'failure',
'data': {...} | 'error': {...}
}
# Client automatically parses to Either<ErrorSchema, T>
- Identify functions using old
AppFunction<T>pattern - Update type parameters to
AppFunction<ErrorSchema, ResponseSchema> - Add fromJson getter for response deserialization
- Update return types from
T?toEither<ErrorSchema, T> - Update call sites to use
.fold()instead of null checks
Before:
final result = await searchFn.search(queryStr: 'test');
if (result == null || result.isError) {
showError('Search failed');
return;
}
processResults(result.parse());
After:
final result = await searchFn.search(queryStr: 'test');
result.fold(
(error) => showError(error.message),
(data) => processResults(data.results),
);
when(mockService.executeCallable<Schema>(
functionName: any,
fromJson: any,
args: any,
)).thenAnswer((_) async => Right(successData));
when(mockService.executeCallable<Schema>(
functionName: any,
fromJson: any,
args: any,
)).thenAnswer((_) async => Left(errorSchema));

- ✅ Test with real Firebase backend
- ✅ Migrate remaining functions (one at a time)
- ✅ Update UI code to use Either pattern
- Create more example functions for common patterns
- Add integration tests with Firebase emulator
- Update team documentation with new patterns
- Remove deprecated classes (GeneralSearchResults, AppFunctionError)
- Consider stream-based functions with Either pattern
- Add retry logic helpers for transient errors
final result = await SearchFunction.general(
searchType: SearchFunctionType.dare,
sortType: SearchSortType.recent,
).search(queryStr: 'test');
result.fold(
(error) => handleError(error),
(data) => showResults(data.results),

final result = await StripeRefreshAccountFunction().refresh(

);
