Flutter Read Device

A production-ready Flutter SDK that provides a unified and clean API to access both application and device information. It merges the functionality of device_info_plus and package_info_plus into a single, clean SDK-style API following Clean Architecture principles.

Features

  • 🚀 Unified API: Access all app and device info from one place.
  • 🏗️ Clean Architecture: Modular, scalable, and maintainable structure.
  • 💎 Immutable Models: Uses Equatable for efficient data handling and comparison.
  • 📱 Platform Helpers: Built-in extensions for quick platform checks (e.g., isAndroid13Above, isEmulator).
  • ⚡ Singleton Service: Managed state with built-in caching to minimize repeated platform calls.
  • 🛡️ Null-Safe: Fully compliant with Dart's null safety.
  • 🛡️ Production Ready: Robust error handling and safe fallback values.

Getting started

Add the dependency to your pubspec.yaml:

dependencies:
  flutter_read_device:
    path: ./ # Or use the published version from pub.dev

Then run:

flutter pub get

Usage

1. Collect Information

import 'package:flutter_read_device/flutter_read_device.dart';

void main() async {
  // Collect all information (cached by default)
  final info = await FlutterReadDevice.collect();

  // Access Application Information
  print('App Name: ${info.app.appName}');
  print('Package: ${info.app.packageName}');
  print('Version: ${info.app.version}');
  print('Build: ${info.app.buildNumber}');

  // Access Device Information
  print('Brand: ${info.device.brand}');
  print('Model: ${info.device.model}');
  print('Manufacturer: ${info.device.manufacturer}');
  print('OS Version: ${info.device.osVersion}');
  print('Is Physical Device: ${info.device.isPhysicalDevice}');
}

2. Platform Helpers (Extensions)

The SDK provides convenient extensions on the FlutterReadDeviceInfo model:

final info = await FlutterReadDevice.collect();

if (info.isAndroid) {
  print('Running on Android');
}

if (info.isAndroid13Above) {
  print('Running on Android 13 or newer');
}

if (info.isEmulator) {
  print('Running on an emulator/simulator');
}

if (info.isIOS) {
  print('Platform is iOS');
}

3. JSON Serialization

All models support conversion to/from Map and JSON, perfect for logging or sending to an API:

final info = await FlutterReadDevice.collect();

// Convert to Map
Map<String, dynamic> map = info.toMap();

// Convert to JSON String
String jsonString = info.toJson();

Information Collected

Application Information (AppInfoModel)

  • appName, packageName, version, buildNumber, buildSignature, installerStore

Device Information (DeviceInfoModel)

  • Android: brand, model, manufacturer, device, product, hardware, board, bootloader, fingerprint, supportedAbis, sdkInt, osVersion, isPhysicalDevice
  • iOS: name, model, systemName, systemVersion, machine, identifierForVendor, isPhysicalDevice

Architecture

This project follows Clean Architecture:

  • Models: Immutable data structures using Equatable.
  • Collectors: Platform-specific logic for data gathering (encapsulating device_info_plus and package_info_plus).
  • Services: Singleton service layer managing the workflow and caching.
  • Extensions: Utility methods for a better developer experience.
