Code Review

This pull request introduces a prototype for a simple GSP client, including the core library, an example application, and tests. The overall architecture is well-documented in the IMPLEMENTATION.md and the code is a good starting point.

My review focuses on improving maintainability and correctness. Key points include:

  • Aligning the data model implementation with the design document by using code generation (freezed/json_serializable) to reduce boilerplate and prevent errors.
  • Refactoring parts of the widget building logic to be more robust and less brittle to changes.
  • Fixing a potential layout issue in the example application.
  • Cleaning up test data to be more accurate.

Overall, this is a solid foundation for the new package. Addressing these points will make it more robust and easier to build upon.

The TextField builder is wrapping the TextField widget with an Expanded widget. This forces the TextField to fill available space within a Flex widget (like Row or Column). While this works for the current sample JSON where it's inside a Row, it makes the builder less reusable. If a TextField component were used in a context without a Flex parent, it would cause a runtime layout error.

Widget builders in the registry should be self-contained and not make assumptions about their parent widgets. The Expanded widget should be part of the layout definition (e.g., as a separate Expanded component type) rather than being hardcoded into the TextField builder.

I suggest removing the Expanded widget from this builder.
