zpl_kit 0.0.2

A declarative layout engine for generating Zebra Programming Language (ZPL) strings with Flexbox-like components.

ZPL Kit

A powerful, declarative layout engine for generating Zebra Programming Language (ZPL) strings in Flutter.

Features

• Flexbox-like Layouts: Use ZplColumn and ZplRow to manage alignment and spacing without worrying about coordinates.
• Declarative Style: Define your label's structure once; the compiler calculates all ^FO (Field Origin) tags automatically.
• Rich Components: Includes ZplText, ZplBarcode, ZplPadding, and more.
• Easy Compilation: One-step build process from component tree to ZPL string.

Getting started

Add zpl_kit to your pubspec.yaml:

dependencies:
  zpl_kit: ^0.0.1

Usage

final root = ZplColumn(
  crossAxisAlignment: ZplCrossAxisAlignment.center,
  children: [
    ZplText('HELLO WORLD'),
    ZplBarcode('987654321', type: ZplBarcodeType.code128),
  ],
);

final String zpl = ZplKit.build(root);

Example Application

Additional information

This package aims to simplify label design for Zebra printers by abstracting away the coordinate-based system of raw ZPL.
