Flutter Feature and Model Generator CLI
A command-line tool to help you quickly generate features and models for your Flutter projects using Bloc
and GoRouter
structures.
Features
- Initialize project structure with
core
andconfig
directories. - Generate new features with a Bloc, pages, widgets, and models.
- Generate Dart models from JSON data or files.
- Automatically add routes to
routes.dart
. - Handles PascalCase and snake_case conversions for feature names.
Installation
Clone the repository:
dart pub global activate flutter_cli_tool
Usage
1. Initialize the Project
This command initializes the project with the core
and config
directories and creates a main.dart
file.
flutter_cli_tool --init
Example:
flutter_cli_tool --init
2. Create a Feature
To generate a new feature, use the --feature
(or -f
) flag. The feature name will be converted to PascalCase for internal usage and snake_case for folder names.
flutter_cli_tool --feature "hello world"
- This creates a feature named
HelloWorld
in thelib/features/hello_world
folder with the following structure:lib/ └── features/ └── hello_world/ ├── bloc/ ├── pages/ ├── widgets/ └── models/
3. Create a Model from JSON
To generate a model, you can provide JSON data or the path to a JSON file using the --model
(or -m
) and --json
(or -j
) flags.
Example 1: Create a User
model from JSON data:
flutter_cli_tool_tool --model User --json ./path/to/user.json
Example 2: Create a Profile
model from a JSON file and place it inside a specific feature folder:
flutter_cli_tool_tool --model Profile --json ./path/to/user.json --featureModel profile

Examples of Generated Code
main.dart
Example:
import 'package:flutter/material.dart';
import 'package:flutter_bloc/flutter_bloc.dart';
import 'package:go_router/go_router.dart';
import 'routes.dart';
void main() {
runApp(MyApp());
}
class MyApp extends StatelessWidget {
const MyApp({super.key});
@override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
return MultiBlocProvider(
providers: [
BlocProvider<HomeBloc>(
create: (context) => HomeBloc(),
),
// BlocProviders will be inserted here dynamically
],
child: MaterialApp.router(
title: 'Flutter Demo',
theme: ThemeData(
primarySwatch: Colors.blue,
),
routerDelegate: createRouter().routerDelegate,
routeInformationParser: createRouter().routeInformationParser,
),
);
}
}
Model Example:
class User {
final int id;
final String name;
final String email;
User({required this.id, required this.name, required this.email});
User copyWith({int? id, String? name, String? email}) {
return User(
id: id ?? this.id,
name: name ?? this.name,
email: email ?? this.email,
);
}
factory User.fromJson(Map<String, dynamic> json) {
return User(
id: json['id'],
name: json['name'],
email: json['email'],
);
}
Map<String, dynamic> toJson() {
return {
'id': id,
'name': name,
'email': email,
};
}
@override
String toString() {
return 'User(id: $id, name: $name, email: $email)';
}
@override
bool operator ==(Object other) {
if (identical(this, other)) return true;
return other is User && other.id == id && other.name == name && other.email == email;
}
@override
int get hashCode => id.hashCode ^ name.hashCode ^ email.hashCode;
}
