Vortex

Vortex is a powerful Flutter framework that brings the convenience and structure of Nuxt.js to Flutter development. It provides automatic routing, component management, plugin architecture, and more to streamline your Flutter development workflow.

🚀 Features

• 📁 File-based Routing: Automatically generate routes based on your file structure in the pages directory
• 🧹 Component System: Create and register reusable components with a simple API
• 🔌 Plugin Architecture: Extend functionality with a flexible plugin system
• ⚡ Reactive State Management: Built-in reactive state management solution
• 🔄 Middleware Support: Add middleware to handle navigation and requests
• 🛠️ CLI Tools: Command-line tools for generating pages, components, and more

📅 Installation

Add Vortex to your pubspec.yaml:

dependencies:
  vortex: ^0.0.1

Run flutter pub get to install the package.

🔧 Basic Setup

Initialize Vortex in your main.dart:

import 'package:flutter/material.dart';
import 'package:vortex/vortex.dart';

void main() async {
  WidgetsFlutterBinding.ensureInitialized();
  await Vortex.initialize();
  runApp(const MyApp());
}

class MyApp extends StatelessWidget {
  const MyApp({Key? key}) : super(key: key);

  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return Vortex(
      child: MaterialApp(
        title: 'Vortex App',
        theme: ThemeData(
          primarySwatch: Colors.blue,
          useMaterial3: true,
        ),
        onGenerateRoute: VortexRouter.onGenerateRoute,
        initialRoute: '/',
      ),
    );
  }
}

Create a new Vortex project with the CLI:

flutter pub run vortex create --name=my_app

This will create a new Flutter project with the Vortex folder structure:

lib/
  ├── pages/           # Route pages
  ├── components/      # Reusable UI components
  ├── layouts/         # Page layouts
  ├── middleware/      # Navigation middleware
  ├── plugins/         # App plugins
  ├── store/           # State management
  ├── assets/          # Images, fonts, etc.
  └── generated/       # Auto-generated code

🧭 Routing

Vortex uses a file-based routing system similar to Nuxt.js.

Basic Routes

lib/pages/index.dart      → /
lib/pages/about.dart      → /about
lib/pages/contact.dart    → /contact

Nested Routes

lib/pages/users/index.dart        → /users
lib/pages/users/profile.dart      → /users/profile

Dynamic Routes

lib/pages/users/[id].dart         → /users/:id
lib/pages/blog/[...slug].dart     → /blog/* (catch-all route)

Creating a Page

import 'package:flutter/material.dart';
import 'package:vortex/vortex.dart';

@VortexPage('/about')
class AboutPage extends StatelessWidget {
  const AboutPage({Key? key}) : super(key: key);

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

Generating a Page with CLI

flutter pub run vortex page --name=contact --type=stateless

Accessing Route Parameters

@VortexPage('/users/:id')
class UserDetailPage extends StatelessWidget {
  const UserDetailPage({Key? key}) : super(key: key);

  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    final params = VortexRouter.of(context).params;
    final userId = params['id'] ?? 'unknown';
    return Scaffold(
      appBar: AppBar(title: Text('User $userId')),
      body: Center(child: Text('User ID: $userId')),
    );
  }
}

🧹 Components

Vortex provides a component system that allows you to create reusable UI components.

Creating a Component

// lib/components/button.dart
import 'package:flutter/material.dart';
import 'package:vortex/vortex.dart';

@Component('Button')
class Button extends StatelessWidget {
  final String text;
  final VoidCallback onPressed;
  final Color? color;

  const Button({
    Key? key,
    required this.text,
    required this.onPressed,
    this.color,
  }) : super(key: key);

  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return ElevatedButton(
      onPressed: onPressed,
      style: color != null ? ElevatedButton.styleFrom(backgroundColor: color) : null,
      child: Text(text),
    );
  }
}

Registering Components

flutter pub run vortex components

Using Components

context.component('Button')({
  'text': 'Click Me',
  'onPressed': () => print('Button clicked'),
  'color': Colors.blue,
})

⚡ State Management

Creating a Store

import 'package:vortex/vortex.dart';

class CounterState {
  final int count;
  CounterState({this.count = 0});

  CounterState copyWith({int? count}) {
    return CounterState(count: count ?? this.count);
  }
}

final counterStore = ReactiveStore<CounterState>(CounterState());

void increment() => counterStore.update((state) => state.copyWith(count: state.count + 1));
void decrement() => counterStore.update((state) => state.copyWith(count: state.count - 1));

Using the Store

ReactiveBuilder<CounterState>(
  store: counterStore,
  builder: (context, state) {
    return Text('Count: ${state.count}');
  },
)
