• Generates AppStyles with full text style system (thin, light, regular, medium, semibold, bold) using Almarai font.
• Copies Almarai font files to assets/fonts/ and configures them in pubspec.yaml.
• Installs essential packages (app_features, api_request, equatable, hive_flutter, get_it, flutter_bloc, flutter_easyloading, toastification, responsive_framework, app_forms, requests_inspector).
• Automatically adds Arabic (ar) and English (en) languages by default.
• Automatically installs requests_inspector package for API debugging.
• Adds any additional languages specified with --lang option.
• Displays Messages, Dialogs, and BottomSheet without context.
• Handles app responsiveness using responsive_framework package.
• Initializes API configuration using api_request package.
• Manages Routes using go_router package (via app_features).
• With --firebase: Installs firebase_core, adds Firebase.initializeApp() to main.dart, and runs flutterfire configure interactively.

Make Command

The make command allows you to create features, pages, forms, and manage languages for your Flutter project.

flyer make [OPTIONS]

Available Options

Option	Description	Example Usage
--feature, -f	Create a new feature.	--feature=myFeature
--lang	Add multiple languages to the app.	--lang=en,ar
--page	Create a page within a feature.	--page=login --feature=account
--form	Create a form with fields in a feature.	--form=login --feature=account --fields=email,password

Examples

Create a New Feature

flyer make --feature=account

This creates:

lib/features/account/
  account_feature.dart
  account_page.dart
  bloc/account_bloc.dart
  bloc/account_state.dart
  actions/

Each generated feature includes quick access getters:

// Access feature anywhere
AccountFeature.to.go();
AccountFeature.to.push();

// Access bloc anywhere
AccountBloc.to.login(data);

flyer make --lang=en,fr,es

Generate a Page

flyer make --page=login --feature=account

This adds a new page to the account feature, updates the feature's routes, and adds a pushLogin() navigation method.

Generate a Form

flyer make --form=login --feature=account --fields=email,password
