🚀 Quick Start

Installation

Option 1: Global Activation (Recommended)

Activate the package globally for easy access from anywhere:

dart pub global activate flutter_app_size_reducer

After activation, you can use the short command:

fasr --help

Option 2: Add as Dev Dependency

Add to your pubspec.yaml:

dev_dependencies:
  flutter_app_size_reducer: ^2.0.0

Then run:

flutter pub get

Usage

With Global Activation (Short Command)

# Initialize configuration
fasr init

# Analyze your project  
fasr analyse

# Analyze only dependencies
fasr analyse --type=dependencies

# Clean unused assets
fasr clean --dry-run

# Optimize images
fasr optimize --quality=85

Without Global Activation (Dev Dependency)

dart run flutter_app_size_reducer init
dart run flutter_app_size_reducer analyse
# ... etc

💡 Pro Tip: Use global activation for the best experience! Just type fasr instead of the long command.
