Installation

Add the package to your pubspec.yaml:

dependencies:
  extensions_core: ^0.0.4

Then run:

flutter pub get

Requirements: Dart ^3.6.0 · Flutter >=3.27.0

---

Quick Start

import 'package:extensions_core/extensions.dart';

void main() {
  // Strings
  'hello world'.toCamelCase();      // helloWorld
  'hello world'.toSnakeCase();      // hello_world
  '[e-mail]'.isEmail();        // true

  // Iterables
  [1, 2, 3, 4].sum;                 // 10
  [1, 2, 3].zip(['a', 'b']);        // [(1, a), (2, b)]

  // Colors
  colorFromHex('#2196f3').toHex();  // #ff2196f3

  // Dates
  DateTime.now().startOfWeek;       // Monday
}

Extension Collections

Object

Extension	Description
let<R>(R Function(T))	Pass this to a function, return its result.
also(void Function(T))	Run a side effect, return this.
run<R>(R Function(T))	Alias of let.
isNull / isNotNull	Null checks on any nullable value.

final length = 'hello'.let((s) => s.length); // 5
String? maybe;
maybe.isNull; // true

String

Validation: isEmail · isUrl · isPhoneNumber · isNumeric · isAlphabetic · isAlphanumeric · containsUppercase · containsLowercase · containsDigit · containsSpecialCharacter · isStrongPassword · isJson

Number & Int

Formatting: toCurrency · toCompact · toPercentage · toDecimal · formatBytes

Predicates: isPositive · isZero · isDivisibleBy · percentageOf · isEven · isOdd (int)

Conversions: ordinal (int) · toBinary · toOctal · toHex (int) · milliseconds/seconds/minutes/hours/days → Duration · heightBox/widthBox → SizedBox · toRadians · toDegrees · isBetween · clamp

1.ordinal();              // 1st
5.toBinary();             // 101
1024.formatBytes();       // 1.00 KB
10.heightBox;             // SizedBox(height: 10)
12.minutes;               // Duration(minutes: 12)

Double

toFixed(int fractionDigits) · lerp(other, t)

3.14159.toFixed(2);              // 3.14
10.0.lerp(20.0, 0.5);            // 15.0

DateTime

Checks: isToday · isYesterday · isTomorrow · isSameDay · isSameMonth · isSameYear · isBetween · isWeekend · isWeekday · isLeapYear · isInFuture · isInPast

Boundaries: startOfDay/endOfDay · startOfWeek/endOfWeek · startOfMonth/endOfMonth · startOfYear/endOfYear · tomorrow · yesterday

Helpers: copyWith · ageInYears · quarter Formatting: format · formattedDate · timeAgo

final now = DateTime.now();
now.startOfMonth;          // 1st of the month
now.ageInYears();          // whole years
now.timeAgo(context);      // "5 minutes ago"

Duration

inWeeks · format()

const Duration(hours: 2, minutes: 3, seconds: 45).format(); // 2:03:45

Iterable

Selection: firstWhereOrNull · distinctBy · countWhere · containsAll · containsAny

Math (Iterable<num>): sum · min · max · average; plus sumBy · averageBy

Grouping/joining: groupBy · insertBetween · zip · unzip · flatten

List

isNullOrEmpty · takeLast · takeFirst · chunked · reversedList · rotate · distinct · whereNotNull · shuffledList · mapToList · safeGet · hasUniqueElements

[1, 2, 3, 4, 5].rotate(2);   // [4, 5, 1, 2, 3]
[1, 2, 3].chunked(2);        // [[1, 2], [3]]

Map

getOrElse · getOrPut · deepMerge · merge · invert · where · filterKeys · filterValues · mapKeys · mapValues · pick · omit · keysOf

{'a': 1, 'b': 2}.invert();               // {1: a, 2: b}
{'a': 1, 'b': 2, 'c': 3}.pick(['a', 'c']); // {a: 1, c: 3}

Device/Theme: isMobile · isTablet · isDesktop · theme · textTheme · colorScheme · primaryColor · accentColor · scaffoldBackgroundColor · iconTheme · locale · textDirection

if (context.isTablet) { /* ... */ }
context.hideKeyboard();

Widget

Image

toBase64() · withFilter(ColorFilter)

File

sizeBytes · sizeFormatted · sizeInMB · isImage · isVideo · isAudio · readAsStringSafe

File('photo.jpg').isImage;   // true
file.sizeFormatted();        // "1.23 MB"

EdgeInsets

copyWith({left, top, right, bottom}) — Flutter's EdgeInsets has none.

State

safeSetState(fn) — calls setState only while the widget is mounted.

Platform

On BuildContext: platform and targetPlatform expose isAndroid, isIOS, isWeb, isMacOS, isWindows, isLinux, isFuchsia.

Navigation

Transitions: navigateTo · navigateBack · navigateToReplace · navigateAndRestore · navigateAndRemoveUntil · pushScreen · pushWithFade · pushWithSlide · replaceScreen

Stack: clearStackAndShow · popUntilRoute · popToFirst · canPop · maybePop · popWithResult · currentRouteName

Presenters: showSheet · showAppDialog

context.pushWithSlide(DetailsScreen());
context.canPop;
context.showSheet(child);

Alert & Snackbar

showCusDialog(Widget) · showSnackBar(String) · removeSnackBar()

Form Validators

Composable String? Function(String?) validators, ready for TextFormField:

requiredField · emailValidator · phoneValidator · minLengthValidator · maxLengthValidator

TextFormField(validator: emailValidator);

---

Examples

A few pending UI recipes:

// Ripple button with padding and tooltip
Text('Submit').inkWell(() => submit()).padding(EdgeInsets.all(12));

// Slide-in navigation to a screen
context.pushWithSlide(const ProfileScreen());

// Form field with validation
TextFormField(
  controller: _email,
  validator: emailValidator,
  decoration: const InputDecoration(labelText: 'Email'),
);

Contributing

Contributions are welcome. To keep the package consistent:

1. Extensions follow the Dart style guide and flutter_lints.
2. New extensions should be added under lib/extensions/ with a focused file per type, then exported from lib/extensions.dart.
3. Add tests in test/ — run flutter test and flutter analyze before submitting.
4. Update this README and the CHANGELOG.md for user-visible changes.
