Terminal aliasses for Flutter

Shortcuts to quickly start Flutter project on simulators/emulators

This oh-my-zsh plugin add shortcuts for Flutter to your terminal

How to install

Prerequisites

1. zsh
2. oh-my-zsh

Installation

Open terminal and paste the following lines. This will clone the repository to the right location, add flutter to the plugins located in ~/.zshrc and restart your shell.

git clone https://github.com/Schroefdop/flutterShortcuts.git ~/.oh-my-zsh/custom/plugins/flutter
while read line; do; if [[ $line == plugins* ]]; then; sed -i -e 's/plugins=(/plugins=(flutter /g' ~/.zshrc; fi;  done < ~/.zshrc
exec zsh

Configuration

For now there are two variables to configure.

FLUTTER_FLAVOR_NAME="staging"
FLUTTER_START_FILE="lib/main_staging.dart"

These variables should be set in ~/.zshrc. If these variables are not set, vanilla flutter run -d <deviceId> will run.

How to use

There are some aliases which shorten some of the longer Flutter commands

alias fa='flutter analyze'
alias fd='flutter devices'
alias fpg='flutter packages get'
alias frb='flutter pub run build_runner build --delete-conflicting-outputs' # Auto generate files
alias frw='flutter pub run build_runner watch' # Auto generate files continuous

The command fra, short for flutter run all will build and launch the application on all booted simulators/emulators.

The command fr, short for flutter run lets you choose on which device you want to build and launch your application. When only one simulator/emulator is active, it will build and launch on this one.
