1. Brief description

At present, for the asset management service work of Flutter project, the development tool (IDE) recommended by Flutter also provides corresponding plug-ins to handle this function; there are also some great-level developers Handwritten script or software for managing services written using Dart's automatic generation function. I have been a Flutter developer for several years, and currently I think the best project asset management service is Fam.

2. Fam service

1. Introduction to Fam

Fam is a Dart script service for Flutter project asset management service, it relies on pub.dev platform for version control. It supports a variety of platforms, simple operation, beautiful interface, easy to use and so on.

2. Fam Showcase

1. Asset management file under Fam service

   

   As can be seen from the figure above, Fam divides asset files into directories, making the location of project asset files clear and easy to find.

2. pubspec.yaml file configuration under Fam service

   

   As can be seen from the above figure, Fam only configures the asset file directory path in the pubspec.yaml file, avoiding the configuration of the absolute path of a large asset file.

3. Asset usage under Fam service

   

   As can be seen from the above figure, Fam uses asset management class names and dot syntax to obtain asset files, which makes it easier to use asset files in projects.

4. Asset Usage Tips under Fam Service

   

   As can be seen from the picture above, when Fam uses the asset management file, the prompts of the development editor can be fully read, rather than the prompts of some plug-ins are not fully read, resulting in the final choice may not necessarily be what you want asset file.

Summary: From the above, you can see some basic demonstrations of Fam. At the same time, I believe that developers also have an understanding and evaluation of various asset management plug-ins or scripts at this time.

3. Fam configuration

Fam is based on pub.dev for version management. So you can use the following command for Fam configuration. The command is as follows: flutter pub global activate fam. If you have never configured the path of .pub-cache globally, you will be prompted to configure the path of .pub-cache/bin after running the above command. The prompts of each system are as follows:

1. MacOS users
2. Windows users Note: Windows users are advised to use the dart pub global activate fam command to install fam due to system differences. Because pub-cache\bin path is also deleted when deleting flutter file and using other management tools in Window system. The Pub\Cache\bin path generated by the dart pub global activate fam command will not be deleted.

After configuring the .pub-cache/bin path according to the above prompts, enter fam help or fam -h in the terminal to check whether Fam is installed successfully. Fam successful installation is displayed as follows:

If Fam installation fails, it will prompt zsh: command not found: fam.
