  const ExercisePage({super.key});

  @override
  State<ExercisePage> createState() => _ExercisePageState();

      body: Center(
        child: Column(
          mainAxisSize: MainAxisSize.min,
          children: [
            Text(message),
            const SizedBox(height: 12),
            ElevatedButton(
              onPressed: loading ? null : runExercise,
              child: Text(loading ? 'Loading...' : 'Run'),
            ),
          ],

    );
  }
}

Expected result

A working minimal screen to practice: global logout, security, flow.

Common mistakes

  • Not separating loading, success, and error states.
  • Coupling UI and data in a single class.
  • Skipping state validation before navigation or rendering.

Practical use

This pattern appears in real apps to improve robustness, maintainability, and UX.
