Usage

To use this plugin, add flutter_patch_package as a dependency in your pubspec.yaml file. For example:

dependencies:
  flutter_patch_package: '^0.0.1'

Installation Add flutter_patch_package to your pubspec.yaml:

Usage

*** Start Patching: *** Before making changes to a package, save its original state. Navigate to the package directory in .pub-cache and execute: flutter patch <package_name> start

This command prepares the package for patching by saving a snapshot of its current state for later comparison.

Apply Your Changes: Modify the package directly in .pub-cache to fix issues or add new functionality. These changes can be made with any code editor.

*** Finalize Patch: *** After your modifications are complete, finalize the patch. This process compares the modified package to the original snapshot, generating a patch file that encapsulates your changes. Execute: flutter patch <package_name> done The generated patch file is stored in the patches/ directory within your project. This file should be committed to your version control system to share the fix with your team or maintain it across environment setups.

*** Applying Patches Automatically *** Ensure your patches are re-applied automatically after every flutter pub get to maintain your modifications across setups. To do this, include a step in your build process or a script that runs: flutter pub run flutter_patch_package

flutter_patch_package smartly warns you about any version mismatches, ensuring smooth package upgrades.
