The package that will help you out with Dart's Pub with things like project initialization and dependency declarations.

publican

🧔 The package that will help you out with Dart's Pub 🎯

Getting started

Bring publican to your global dependencies:

pub global activate publican

Commands

• publican init
• publican add

I have an idea for a command

Documentation

publican init

Initializes a pubspec.yaml file.

mkdir my_awesome_app
cd  my_awesome_app
publican init

It will generate a pubspec.yaml file with the following defaults:

name: my_app
version: 0.1.0
description: My awesome Dart app

You can override default values throught the options:

-n, --name           (defaults to "my_app")
-v, --version        (defaults to "0.1.0")
-d, --description    (defaults to "My awesome Dart app")

Note: it will not override your current pubspec.yaml file, if you already have one, its safe.

publican add

Adds a dependency to pubspec.yaml file.

publican add angular angular_components

Publican will already look for the latest stable version:

name: my_app
version: 0.1.0
description: My awesome Dart app

dependencies:
  angular_components: ^0.8.0
  angular: ^4.0.0+2

⚠️ Also, it will not change your previous YAML structure definitions, that is a key difference from Publican to other similar packages.

The --dev flag will add the dependencies to dev_dependencies key

publican add --dev build_runner build_web_compilers

name: my_app
version: 0.1.0
description: My awesome Dart app

dependencies:
  angular_components: ^0.8.0
  angular: ^4.0.0+2

dev_dependencies:
  build_web_compilers: ^0.3.4+2
  build_runner: ^0.8.0

If you are not sure about the output, you can check it out before by adding the --dry-run flag, then it will print out what it would write.

You can also constraint a dependency to a specific version using an @ symbol:

publican add angular@^1.1.2+2

Want to try bleeding edge versions of you dependencies? Just add the -a or --alpha flag:

publican add -a angular

dependencies:
  angular: ^5.0.0-alpha+8
