Feature Development
Guidelines and patterns for developing features in the UTA mobile application template
Feature Development
Overview
Features represent the core functionality modules in our application architecture. This section outlines our approach to feature development, including architectural patterns, communication between features, and shared utilities that can be leveraged across feature boundaries.
Key Feature Documentation
Feature Architecture
Understand how features are structured, organized, and integrated within the application.
Communication Patterns
Learn about patterns for communication between features and different parts of the application.
Shared Utilities
Discover reusable utilities and helpers that can be leveraged across different features.
Feature Template
Reference implementation and starting point for creating new features.
Feature Development Principles
Our feature development approach is guided by these core principles:
- Feature Isolation - Features should be self-contained with clear boundaries
- Loose Coupling - Features should communicate through well-defined interfaces
- Business Domain Alignment - Features should align with specific business domains or user needs
- Consistent Structure - Features should follow a consistent internal organization pattern
- Independent Testability - Features should be testable in isolation
Feature Development Workflow
The typical workflow for developing a new feature includes:
- Requirements Gathering - Understand user needs and business requirements
- Feature Planning - Define scope, boundaries, and integration points
- Architectural Design - Design the feature's internal structure
- Implementation - Build the feature following our established patterns
- Testing - Test the feature in isolation and integration
- Documentation - Document the feature's usage and implementation details
