Run Pubspec Script (RPS)

Define and use scripts from your pubspec.yaml file.

Getting started

  1. Install this package.

    dart pub global activate rps

  2. Define script inside the pubspec.yaml

    name: my_great_app
version: 1.0.0

scripts:
   # run is a default script. To use it, simply type
   # in the command line: "rps" - that's all!
   run: "flutter run -t lib/main_development.dart --flavor development"
      # you can define more commands like this: "rps gen"
      gen: "flutter pub run build_runner watch --delete-conflicting-outputs"
      # and even nest them!
      build:
      android:
      # rps build android apk
      apk: "flutter build --release apk --flavor production"
      # rps build android appbundle
      appbundle: "flutter build --release appbundle --flavor production"
      # and so on...

# the rest of your pubspec file...
dependencies:
   path: ^1.7.0

  3. Use your custom command.

    Like this gen command that we defined in the previous step:

    rps gen

    instead of

     flutter pub run build_runner watch --delete-conflicting-outputs

  4. Safe a time and become a power user! ?

    Less time typing long commands more time watching funny cats. ?

Hooks

You can use commands that will be executed before or after some command. Have a look at these scripts in the pubspec.yaml file.

scripts:
  test:
    before-echo: echo "before-test"
    echo: echo "test" 
    after-echo: echo "after-test"

Running rps test echo command produces following output:

> test before-echo
$ echo "before-test"

before-test
> test echo
$ echo "test"

test
> test after-echo
$ echo "after-test"

after-test

Motivation

I got bored of typing the same long commands over and over again… I even got bored of pressing that boring (and even small on a MacBook) up arrow key to find my previous command in history. So, as befits a programmer, to save time, I spent more time writing this library than searching/writing commands for the last year…

  • Further hooks improvements.

Hey you! This package is still in development (bugs may occur ??).
