Description:

f

F #
A simple shortcut, command line interface (CLI) for Flutter to increase productivity and happiness.
Installation #
To activate f CLI from your terminal.
pub global activate f

Windows Problem #
For those of you who use Windows, you might experience a "double run" problem, where some f commands will be called twice.
It's a known problem that comes with pub (and affected every CLI package in pub.dev).
The solution for this problem, for now, is to activate f locally, by first cloning the repository to your local drive.
git clone https://github.com/salkuadrat/f

Then activate it with this command.
pub global activate --source path <f-location>
copied to clipboard
As example, if you run git clone on the root of drive D, then the activate command will be...
pub global activate --source path "D:\f"
copied to clipboard
This kind of local activation will nicely handle the "double run" problem on Windows.
Create Project #
Use this command to create a Flutter project:
f c myapp
copied to clipboard
It's the same as flutter create myapp.
To create Flutter project with some predefined dependencies, you can list them after the project name.
f c myapp path intl http provider
copied to clipboard
The command above will generate myapp project in myapp directory, and automatically install all the required dependencies (for this example: path, intl, http & provider).
You can also pass other arguments, like project name, organization name, or specify the programming language used for the native platform.
f c -p myapp -o dev.flutter -a kotlin -i swift myapp path intl http provider

Starter Project #
Starter project is a Flutter template that you can use for your new project.
To create a starter project:
f s myapp
copied to clipboard
By default f s command will generate a starter project with Provider.
If you want starter project with other state management (BLoC, Cubit, GetX, or Riverpod), you can specify it in the f s command.
f s --bloc myapp

f s --cubit myapp

f s --getx myapp

f s --riverpod myapp
copied to clipboard
You can also pass additional arguments.
f s -p myapp -o dev.flutter -a kotlin -i swift myapp
copied to clipboard
To see the structure of starter project generated by f s command, you can explore the examples below.
starter_bloc
starter_cubit
starter_getx
starter_riverpod
starter_provider
After creating a starter project with f s, you can use f m command to generate a new module inside the project, like:
f m posts
copied to clipboard
It will auto-detect the state management in your project, and generate all the module files accordingly.
Run Project #
Run your Flutter project with this command.
f r
copied to clipboard
It's the same as flutter run.
To run project as flutter run --profile:
f rp
copied to clipboard
To run project as flutter run --release:
f rr
copied to clipboard
You can add -v to the end of f command to display the complete diagnostic informations.
f r -v
