Flutter Package Power: Share Your Creations

Important things about Flutter package development.

Simply create a flutter project. But set the Project Type to package.

Android Studio => New Flutter Project

***

And the project will be created. Here don't have any Android, iOS or other folders. Make a src directory for all files and a [package_name].dart inside the lib folder. Also, make an Example folder. Inside the example folder make a new Flutter application (not package) for the example app.

Inside the [package_name].dart addyour file name and most importantly add

a library declaration. Like this:-

Write readme.md file instruction is given inside the file. Record a short video of your project and convert it to .gif. And set it to readme file. It will be more professional.

Write CHANGELOG as .md method. You can follow this method -

## 1.0.0

* Initial release

## 1.0.1

* add example

## 1.0.2

* some minor changes

Add your project to GitHub.

Then the most important thing. Add data for the pub.dev.

Optional thing but If you add those. It will be more professional.

Optional

Now, a most important thing. You have to add platforms: on pubspec.yaml otherwise it shows undefined platform on pub.dev.

Most important for show this:

---

For a better view of pub.dev . Like this-

Just add this on pubspec.yaml. And put your screenshot on it.

screenshots:
  - description: "Example of first page"
    path: example/screenshot/screenshot1.png
  - description: "Example of middle page"
    path: example/screenshot/screenshot2.png
  - description: "Example of final page"
    path: example/screenshot/screenshot3.png

---

Now the publishing part:

You can create a publisher account (optional). Login with Google on pub.dev .

Now on the project terminal write this command -

dart pub publish

And Done!!
