Universal Extensions for Flutter

A lightweight, powerful Flutter package providing universal extension methods for Widgets, Strings, Numbers, BuildContext, and more. Designed to reduce boilerplate and make UI development clean, readable, and fast.

✨ Features

🧩 Widget Extensions

  • Add padding: .padAll(), .padSymmetric(), .padOnly()
  • Add margin: .marginAll(), .marginSymmetric()
  • Alignment helpers: .center(), .align()
  • Tap handler: .onTap()
  • Layout helpers: .sized(), .expanded(), .flexible()
  • SafeArea wrapper: .safeAre()

🔤 String Extensions

  • Convert directly to Text widget: "Hello".txt()
  • capitalize()
  • Safe parsing: toInt(), toDouble()
  • Email Validation Regex: isEmail()

🔢 Num Extensions

  • Quick space widgets: 10.w, 20.h
  • EdgeInsets: 10.all, 10.horizontal, 10.vertical

🧭 BuildContext Extensions

  • Size: context.width, context.height
  • Themes: context.theme, context.textTheme
  • Safe pop: context.safePop()

DateTime Extensions

  • Check if its today: isToday()

🚀 Installation

Add the package to your pubspec.yaml:

dependencies:
  universal_extensions: ^1.0.0

Then import it:

import 'package:universal_extensions/universal_extensions.dart';

📌 Usage Examples

Padding & Margin

Text("Hello World")
    .padAll(16)
    .marginSymmetric(horizontal: 20);

Centering a widget

Icon(Icons.star).center();

Making any widget clickable

Container(width: 100, height: 50)
    .onTap(() => print("Tapped!"));

String to Text Widget

"Welcome".txt(style: context.textTheme.titleLarge);

Number spacing helpers

Column(
  children: [
    20.h,
    Text("Item 1"),
    10.h,
    Text("Item 2"),
  ],
);

BuildContext utilities

SizedBox(
  width: context.width * 0.5,
  height: context.height * 0.2,
);

📚 Why Use Universal Extensions?

  • Cleaner widget trees
  • Less nesting (Padding → Container → GestureDetector → SizedBox)
  • Faster UI development
  • Reusable, consistent code across projects
  • Minimal, dependency-free
