A simple shortcut, command line interface for a lazy Flutter developer in order to increase productivity
f
A simple shortcut, command line interface (CLI) for a lazy (a.k.a effective) Flutter developer in order to increase productivity and happiness.
Installation
Activate f CLI from your terminal using this command.
pub global activate f
Create new project
Use this f command to create a Flutter project:
f c myapp
cd myapp
It’s similar with using command flutter create myapp.
To create a Flutter project with some predefined dependencies, you can list the dependencies after your project name like this:
f c myapp path intl http provider
cd myapp
The above command will automatically create myapp project in the myapp directory, then automatically install all the required dependencies (in this example: path, intl, http, and provider).
Feel free to add as many dependencies as you want.
You can also pass other arguments, such as project name, the organization name, or to specify the programming language used for the native platform:
f c --p myapp --org dev.flutter --a kotlin --i swift myapp path intl http provider
cd myapp
Run Project
To run a Flutter project, you can use this command:
f r
It’s similar with using command flutter run.
To run project as flutter run --profile, use:
f rp
To run project as flutter run --release, use:
f rr
