flutter_oss_licenses 0.5.1

A tool for generating OSS license list using pubspec.lock.

Introduction

flutter_oss_licenses is a tool for generating OSS license list using pubspec.lock.

Installing

Adding the package name to dev_dependencies; not to dependencies because the package does nothing on runtime.

dev_dependencies:
  flutter_oss_licenses: ^0.5.1

Generate oss_licenses.dart

Before executing the command, you must update your pubspec.lock using pub get (or pub upgrade if you want).

$ flutter pub get

And then, the following command generates oss_licenses.dart on the project's lib/ directory:

$ flutter pub run flutter_oss_licenses:generate.dart

The file structure

The generated file contains a simple Map<String, String> that maps each project name to its corresponding license text, that is normally provided by LICENSE file on the project:

Map<String, String> oss_licenses = {
  'some_project': '''Copyright 201X Some Project Owners. All rights reserved.''',
  'another_project': '''Another project's license terms...''',
  ...
};

And, you can use the map on your project code in your way. The package does not do anything on the list.

Command line options

Either running generate.dart using pub run or directly, it accepts two or less options. The first option is output dart file name. The default is lib/oss_licenses.dart. And the another is project root, which is by default detected automatically.

$ generate.dart [OUTPUT_FILENAME [PROJECT_ROOT]]

The bin/generated.dart uses two environment variables; one is FLUTTER_ROOT and PUB_CACHE. They are normally set by flutter pub run but if you directly execute the script, you must set them manually.
