DFS - Dart Flutter Scripts

Warning: everything is WIP.

A collection of useful scripts for dart or flutter projects.

The scripts can be executed in the working directory of any dart or flutter project.

Installation:

Until the package is published to pub.dev, it can be installed as follow:

[~] dart pub global activate --source git https://github.com/osaxma/dfs.git

To run any script:

[~/path/to/project] dfs <script-command>

Note: each script will only work in the current working directory (i.e. one cannot pass a path to a different directory -- at least for now).

Each <script-command> is shown below under the available scripts.

Available Scripts

• Find Unused Packages (status: MVP)
  

  Area: project hygien
  command: find-unused-packages
  alias: fup

  Description:
  with the help of dart's analyzer and pubspec packages, the script inpset both the pubspec.yaml file and all dart files within lib to find any unused dependencies.

  Sample Output:

  [~/cwd] dfs find-unused-packages
      The following packages are not used anywhere in the lib directory. If they are used
      elsewhere (e.g. /test), consider moving them to `dev_dependencies` in `pubspec.yaml`
          - code_builder
          - dart_style
          - logging

• Find Unused Top Level Declaration (status: MVP)
  

  Area: project hygiene
  command: find-unused-top-level
  alias: futl

  Finds unused top-level elements (classes, typedefs, getters, setters, functions and fields). This useful for dart/flutter projects that are not packages.

  Sample output

  [~/cwd]$ dart run bin/dfs.dart futl
      finding unused top level declarations...  
      The following top level declarations are not used anywhere 
          - /cwd/lib/src/version.dart:7:7
          - /cwd/lib/src/common/ast_utils.dart:7:9

  ---

• Generate Data Classes (status: MVP)
  

  Area: utility
  command: generate-data-classes
  alias: gdc

  Generate the following for an existing class (in place):

  • copyWith method.
  • serialization methods (toMap/toJson) and desirialization factories (fromMap/fromJson).
  • Equality (operator ==) and hashcode.
    
    

  See how the data looks like before and after running the script at:

  • before running the script
  • after running the script
  
  

  The input data is read by parsing the Abstract Syntax Tree (AST) using the analyzer package, and then the data class is built using the code builder package.

Ideas for future scripts

• Change Project Name (status: TBD)
  

  Area: pain
  command: TBD
  alias: TBD

  This is mainly for Flutter, and especially for multiplatform code where the name has to be changed in various places.

  ---

• Run Script (status: TBD)
  

  Area: utility
  command: run
  alias: N/A

  [~/cwd] dfs run <script> 
  

  Where <script> is defined in pubspec.yaml

      script:
          build: flutter pub run build_runner build --delete-conflicting-outputs
          data: dfs generate-data-classes --endsWith="_data.dart" --directory="lib"

  ---

• Get Packages For All (status: TBD)
  

  Area: utility
  command: TBD
  alias: TBD

  [~/cwd] dfs get packages --all
  

  Or

  [~/cwd] dfs get all
  

  Run dart pub get or flutter packages get for all packages within a monorepo or a repo with multiple packages.
