flutter_cli_tool 1.0.0+1

A Dart CLI tool to generate features and models for Flutter apps (currently works with bloc and go router).

Flutter Feature and Model Generator CLI

A command-line tool to help you quickly generate features and models for your Flutter projects using Bloc and GoRouter structures.

Features

• Initialize project structure with core and config directories.
• Generate new features with a Bloc, pages, widgets, and models.
• Generate Dart models from JSON data or files.
• Automatically add routes to routes.dart.
• Handles PascalCase and snake_case conversions for feature names.

Installation

Clone the repository:

dart pub global activate flutter_cli_tool

Usage

1. Initialize the Project

This command initializes the project with the core and config directories and creates a main.dart file.

flutter_cli_tool --init

• This creates a feature named home in the lib/features/home folder with the following structure:

  lib/
  |__ config/routes.dart
  |__ core/
  └── features/
      └── home/
          ├── bloc/
          ├── pages/
          ├── widgets/
          └── models/
  main.dart
  

2. Create a Feature

To generate a new feature, use the --feature (or -f) flag. The feature name will be converted to PascalCase for internal usage and snake_case for folder names.

flutter_cli_tool --feature "hello world"

• This creates a feature named HelloWorld in the lib/features/hello_world folder with the following structure:

  lib/
  └── features/
      └── hello_world/
          ├── bloc/
          ├── pages/
          ├── widgets/
          └── models/
  

3. Create a Model from JSON

To generate a model, you can provide JSON data or the path to a JSON file using the --model (or -m) and --json (or -j) flags.

Example 1: Create a User model from JSON data:

flutter_cli_tool_tool --model User --json ./path/to/user.json

Example 2: Create a Profile model from a JSON file and place it inside a specific feature folder:

flutter_cli_tool_tool --model Profile --json ./path/to/user.json --featureModel profile

Examples of Generated Code

main.dart Example:

import 'package:flutter/material.dart';
import 'package:flutter_bloc/flutter_bloc.dart';
import 'package:go_router/go_router.dart';
import 'routes.dart';

void main() {
  runApp(MyApp());
}

class MyApp extends StatelessWidget {
  const MyApp({super.key});

  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return MultiBlocProvider(
      providers: [
        BlocProvider<HomeBloc>(
          create: (context) => HomeBloc(),
        ),
        // BlocProviders will be inserted here dynamically
      ],
      child: MaterialApp.router(
        title: 'Flutter Demo',
        theme: ThemeData(
          primarySwatch: Colors.blue,
        ),
        routerDelegate: createRouter().routerDelegate,
        routeInformationParser: createRouter().routeInformationParser,
      ),
    );
  }
}

Model Example:

class User {
  final int id;
  final String name;
  final String email;

  User({required this.id, required this.name, required this.email});

  User copyWith({int? id, String? name, String? email}) {
    return User(
      id: id ?? this.id,
      name: name ?? this.name,
      email: email ?? this.email,
    );
  }

  factory User.fromJson(Map<String, dynamic> json) {
    return User(
      id: json['id'],
      name: json['name'],
      email: json['email'],
    );
  }

  Map<String, dynamic> toJson() {
    return {
      'id': id,
      'name': name,
      'email': email,
    };
  }

  @override
  String toString() {
    return 'User(id: $id, name: $name, email: $email)';
  }

  @override
  bool operator ==(Object other) {
    if (identical(this, other)) return true;
    return other is User && other.id == id && other.name == name && other.email == email;
  }

  @override
  int get hashCode => id.hashCode ^ name.hashCode ^ email.hashCode;
}
