Flutter Production Boilerplate

A flutter project containing bloc, flutter_lints, hive, easy_translations and more!

This repository is the starting point for my personal projects. If you have any suggestions or improvements feel free to let me know. The project strives to implement best practices recommended by Google and other developers. These best practices include but are not limited to:

Using BLOC & Cubit for state management.
Using Flutter Lints for stricter linting rules.
Using Hive for platform independent storage that also works for web.
Project structure, const constructors, extracted widgets and many more...

Using this package as a starting point

After following the installation steps you can customize your project. The screens and widgets that are inside the project can be easily replaced or removed. They are supposed to give the user a basic understanding of the relations between widgets and some good practices. The code includes some comments with documentation and examples. The examples can be found by searching for "Example:" inside the project files.

Changing the package and app name

You can follow the instructions in this Stackoverflow issue.

Theme

You can customize your brand colors in the lib/config/theme.dart file. The project useses colors from TailwindCSS. As primary swatch the indigo color palette is used while for the text the gray color palette is used. Feel free to replace those values with your own. In order to get a smooth transition for the text colors it is necessary to override each text type in the TextTheme.

Removing unwanted packages

If a package is not listed, then removing it from pubspec.yaml as well as all imports and uses should be enough. This is required for removing every packages, the following instructions are an addition to that.

Flutter Lints

Delete the analysis_options.yaml file. As an alternative you can modify the rules in this file or use a different package like Lint.
