rzuastiandClaude Sonnet 4.6 07f7d54531 Extract snackbar notifications to UISnackbars utility
Centralises all SnackBar calls behind UISnackbars.showError/showSuccess/
showWarning/showInfo, each themed via AppColorExtension. New warning and
info colour tokens added to both themes. Calling any method clears any
visible snackbar before showing the new one.

Project OOTT

OOTT is an easy to setup network monitoring and alert system aimed at notifying when new or unknown devices join a local area network.

It has two major components:

  • A backend service that runs the monitoring and other processes and provides a REST API. This is built with Rust.
  • A front-end that enables the user to configure the system and access the data it stores. This is built with Flutter - a front-end framework based on the Dart language.

Code style

For Rust code:

For Flutter/Dart code:

  • Use the standard Dart style guide
  • Use dart format --output show to format the code

Project commands

  • sudo cargo run from the backend/ folder - Run the backend (you need sudo to enable the process to attach itself to the network channel)
  • flutter run -d web-server --web-port 3333 from the frontend/ folder - Run the front-end for the web
  • run_tests.sh - Run the backend tests
  • cargo clippy - Run the clippy linter for Rust code
  • dart analyze - Run the Dart linter

Architecture

General

  • All backend source code is under the backend/ folder
  • All front-end source code is under the frontend/ folder
  • All interactions between the front-end and the backend are via the backend REST API

Backend

  • System state and events are stored in a SQLite database (oott.db by default) which is accessed and managed exclusively by the backend via a data access layer (db.rs and files under the backend/src/db/ folder)
  • Database structure is handled through incremental migrations (stored under the backend/database_migrations folder). Each set of structural changes should be a new database migration file.
  • The backend's entry point is src/main.rs which starts two threads using the Tokyo framework: one for the network scanning process and another one for the web server that exposes the API and hosts the Flutter app (front-end) assets when deployed in a live environment (ie not development)

Front-end

  • The front-end's entry point is lib/main.dart
  • It uses the Material 3 framework for Flutter
  • The application needs to be responsive and adapt to a web experience in the desktop, tablets and phones
  • The application is also available in iOS and Android as a native experience (via de App Store and Play store)
  • Backend API access is implemented in the utils/oott_api.dart component

Important notes

  • NEVER add or commit .env files or files with secrets (passwords, API keys or similar information)
  • Code must be as simple as possible, human readable and modularized
  • ALWAYS write unit tests for new or modified backend components
  • ALWAYS run all tests after making a new change and do not continue until all tests pass
  • When adding a new API endpoint, ALWAYS wire it to the OpenAPI generation
  • When adding a significant chunk of new code (either Rust or Dart), run the corresponding linter
  • In the frontend, use the UISnackbars component to display messages to the user that do not require action on their part.
