Just a demo package for the beginners on how to publish a flutter package on community.
Publishing a Flutter package is a great way to share your code with the community and make it available for others to use in their projects. Here's a step-by-step guide on how to publish a Flutter package to pub.dev, the official package repository for Dart and Flutter packages:
Prepare Your Package:
Create a new Dart package by running flutter create package_name in your terminal. Write your package code and add necessary files to the lib/ directory. Configure pubspec.yaml:
Open the pubspec.yaml file in your package directory. Provide a proper package name under the name field. It should be a valid package name without spaces and special characters. Set the version field according to semantic versioning rules (e.g., 1.0.0). Add a concise description for your package. Specify the author and homepage if applicable. Add License:
Make sure to add a license to your package. You can include the license as a separate file (e.g., LICENSE) or specify it directly in the pubspec.yaml. Optional: Add README.md:
Creating a README.md file can help others understand what your package does and how to use it effectively. Test Your Package:
Ensure that your package is working correctly and includes appropriate test cases. Publish Your Package:
In your terminal, navigate to the root directory of your package. Run flutter pub publish. This command will guide you through the process of publishing your package. You'll be prompted to log in with your pub.dev account credentials (create one if you don't have it). After successfully publishing, your package will be available on pub.dev for others to use. Version Updates:
Whenever you make updates to your package, remember to update the version number in the pubspec.yaml. Follow semantic versioning rules to indicate if it's a major, minor, or patch update. Remember to thoroughly test your package and document its usage to help other developers understand how to use it effectively.
