f

a simple shortcut, command line interface (cli) for a lazy (a.k.a effective) flutter developer in order to increase productivity and happiness.

installation

activate f cli from your terminal using this command.

pub global activate f

create new project

use this f command to create a flutter project:

f c myapp
cd myapp

it’s similar with using command flutter create myapp.

to create a flutter project with some predefined dependencies, you can list the dependencies after your project name like this:

f c myapp path intl http provider 
cd myapp

the above command will automatically create myapp project in the myapp directory, then automatically install all the required dependencies (in this example: path, intl, http, and provider).

feel free to add as many dependencies as you want.

you can also pass other arguments, such as project name, the organization name, or to specify the programming language used for the native platform:

f c --p myapp --org dev.flutter --a kotlin --i swift myapp path intl http provider
cd myapp

run project

to run a flutter project, you can use this command:

f r

it’s similar with using command flutter run.

to run project as flutter run --profile, use:

f rp

to run project as flutter run --release, use:

f rr
