struct_generator 0.1.2

CLI generator for Flutter module/page/bloc skeletons

struct_generator

A lightweight and powerful CLI tool to generate folder structure and page files inside the lib/ directory in Flutter projects. This package helps developers maintain a clean, consistent, and scalable architecture without manually creating folders and files every time.

Features

Automatically creates folders inside lib/

Generates page files with correct class names

Very fast CLI command

Supports custom output directories (-o)

Maintains consistent project structure

Avoids repetitive manual file creation

Ideal for medium and large Flutter applications

Installation

Add the package to your project:

dev_dependencies: struct_generator: ^1.0.0

Activate globally:

dart pub global activate struct_generator

Or run locally:

dart run struct_generator

Usage Generate a new page struct_generator show page home -o pages

This will generate:

lib/ └─ pages/ └─ home/ home_page.dart

Generated File Example

home_page.dart

import 'package:flutter/material.dart';

class HomePage extends StatelessWidget { const HomePage({super.key});

@override Widget build(BuildContext context) { return Scaffold( appBar: AppBar(title: const Text('Home')), body: const Center( child: Text('Home Page'), ), ); } }

How It Works

The generator:

Takes the name you pass (home)

Converts it to a class name (HomePage)

Creates the folder automatically under lib/

Generates the Dart file inside it using a template

Example internal logic:

final libPath = p.join('lib', outputDir); final dir = Directory(p.join(libPath, name)); dir.createSync(recursive: true); final filePath = p.join(dir.path, '${name}_page.dart');

Folder Structure Example lib/ ├─ pages/ │ └─ home/ │ home_page.dart ├─ widgets/ ├─ models/ └─ ...

Advantages

Improves developer productivity

Suitable for large and enterprise-level Flutter apps

Fully customizable templates and structure
