alias_short 1.0.4

A command-line tool for simplifying Flutter commands with aliases.

Alias Short

Alias Short is a command-line tool that simplifies commonly used Flutter commands by allowing you to create short aliases for longer Flutter commands. Instead of typing lengthy commands like flutter build apk --release, you can simply type apk in the terminal to achieve the same result.

Features

•	Shorten long Flutter commands to quick and easy aliases.
•	Supports common Flutter build commands, such as building APKs, iOS builds, and more.
•	Easy to customize and extend by adding more aliases.

Installation

1.	Activate the package globally using the Dart command:

dart pub global activate alias_short

2.	Ensure that the Dart SDK's bin directory is added to your system's PATH environment variable. This directory is typically located at C:\src\flutter\bin\cache\dart-sdk\bin on Windows or /usr/local/bin on macOS and Linux.

If not, add the output of this command to your PATH: You will see the following output:

Building package executables...
Built alias_short:alias_short.
Installed executables alias_short, apk and ios.
Warning: Pub installs executables into $HOME/.pub-cache/bin, which is not on your path.
You can fix that by adding this to your shell's config file (.bashrc, .bash_profile, etc.)
export PATH="$PATH":"$HOME/.pub-cache/bin"
Activated alias_short 1.0.2.

dart pub global list

3.	Verify that the installation was successful by running the following command:

alias_short --version

Usage

After installing the package, you can use the following aliases in your terminal:

•	Generate APK:

alias_short apk

•	Generate ios build:

alias_short ios

This is a shortcut for running flutter build ios.

You can add more commands by editing the commandsMap in the package.

Example

To generate a release APK for Android, simply open your terminal in your Flutter project and type:

apk

Instead of typing the full command:

flutter build apk --release

Customization

You can easily customize or extend the package by adding your own aliases.

1.	Clone this repository.
2.	Open the bin/alias_short.dart file.
3.	Add more aliases to the commandsMap:

final commandsMap = {
  'apk': 'flutter build apk --release',
  'ios': 'flutter build ios',
  'web': 'flutter build web',
  'clean': 'flutter clean',
  // Add more aliases here
};

4.	Rebuild the package or use it locally.
