jade 0.1.0

An interactive Dart CLI to create a customized flutter app boilerplate

0.1.0

May 1, 2026

Creation Flow

• Introduced a clearer jade create workflow for starting new Flutter apps.
• Improved validation before project creation so invalid package names, organization ids, platform choices, and flavor names fail early with focused messages.
• Added a more useful command-line experience with help, version output, verbose mode, and guidance for the previous jade --create usage.

Generated App Foundation

• Expanded the generated starter app into a fuller production foundation rather than a minimal folder scaffold.
• Added first-class flavor support, including multiple flavor entrypoints, default dev and production environments, and support for custom lower-camel-case flavor names.
• Strengthened the generated architecture around clear layers for UI, providers, services, models, utilities, theme, and reusable widgets.
• Broadened the generated model and API response patterns so new apps begin with typed transport, pagination, config, and error-handling conventions.
• Expanded the shared widget and theme foundation with richer form, feedback, indicator, layout, image, tab, sheet, loading, and empty-state building blocks.
• Aligned the generated API service conventions with the helper surface expected by existing production apps.

App Tooling

• Added generated build and watch commands for model generation, generated barrels, asset constants, formatting, and ongoing development.
• Added generated flavor configuration tooling for Android, iOS, macOS, and VS Code launch settings.
• Added generated shell helpers for common flavor-aware run and build commands.
• Added generated preflight checks to help teams catch release-readiness issues inside newly created apps.
• Added offline dependency-install fallback so app generation can continue when normal dependency resolution is temporarily unavailable.

Optional Integrations

• Improved optional Provider and GetIt scaffolding for apps that want structured state coordination and dependency lookup.
• Improved optional Hive scaffolding for encrypted local storage and session persistence boundaries.
• Added optional Firebase scaffolding for Core, Analytics, Crashlytics, Messaging, and Remote Config without generating project credentials.

Documentation And Team Guidance

• Generated apps now include local architecture, flavor, services, tooling, and coding-rule documentation.
• Added agent-facing project guidance so generated apps are easier to maintain consistently with AI coding tools.
• Expanded the package README with clearer usage, architecture, flavor, tooling, Firebase, dependency, and development guidance.
• Prepared the published package contents so generated fixtures and built documentation are not shipped to pub.dev.

Reliability

• Added automated coverage for the CLI flow, flavor parsing, generator output, optional feature combinations, dependency fallback behavior, and generated app smoke analysis.
• Reworked the internal generator architecture so more of Jade can be tested without launching Flutter for every case.
• Removed the older monolithic implementation path in favor of the new command-driven generator.

Migration Notes

• Use jade create instead of jade --create.
• The release version is now reported from the shared CLI constant exposed by lib/src/cli.dart.
• Generated app output is broader than previous 0.0.x releases and now includes documentation, flavor tooling, build/watch scripts, and optional Firebase scaffolding.
