🧰 flutter_devstat

flutter_devstat is a lightweight command-line utility that helps you maintain clean and consistent Flutter project structures. It automatically annotates all Dart files in your Flutter app with their file paths (like // lib/config.dart), making large projects easier to navigate and refactor.

🚀 Features

• 🗂 Annotate Dart files with file path headers
• 🔁 Update existing annotations automatically when files move or rename
• 📄 Analyze project structure or generate reports
• 🧭 Flexible CLI flags:
  • -a → Annotate or update all Dart files
  • -v → Show current version
  • -u, -h → Show usage/help info
  • -p, --paths → Show all Dart file paths instead of the tree view
• 🧬 Project identity injection via pubspec.yaml
  • Optional developer metadata headers (name, email, website, project)
  • Optional automatic copyright generation
  • Strict header formatting enforcement

📦 Installation

🔹 Add to a Flutter project

flutter pub add flutter_devstat --dev

🔹 Activate globally

dart pub global activate flutter_devstat

🧑‍💻 Usage

Annotate or update all Dart files:

dart run flutter_devstat -a

Display help/usage:

dart run flutter_devstat -h

Show version:

dart run flutter_devstat -v

Example output:

✅ Annotating Dart files...
🔹 Updated: // lib/main.dart
🔹 Added:   // lib/widgets/button.dart
✅ 23 files processed successfully.

🧾 Project Identity Configuration (v1.3.2+)

You can optionally define developer and project metadata in your pubspec.yaml. When present, DevStat automatically injects and maintains a standardized header block at the top of every Dart file.

flutter_devstat:
  dev_info:
    name: "BXAMRA"
    email: "bxamra@icloud.com"
    website: "https://bxamra.github.io"
    project: "My App"
    generate_copyright: true

Example header output:

// lib/main.dart

/*
 * BXAMRA
 * bxamra@icloud.com
 * https://bxamra.github.io
 * Copyright 2026 BXAMRA. All rights reserved.
 *
 * Project : My App
 */

Only the fields that exist are inserted. If no fields are defined, only the file path header is added.

🧩 Example Dart File

Before:

import 'package:flutter/material.dart';

class AppConfig {}

After running flutter_devstat -a:

// lib/config.dart

/*
 * BXAMRA
 * bxamra@icloud.com
 */

import 'package:flutter/material.dart';

class AppConfig {}
