Rudder

Description

A CLI tool for creating a starter project folder structure and/or adding features to my Flutter projects.

Creating a folder structure

Command: rudder create

.env
- lib
    - src
        - features
            - home
                - application
                    > home_service.dart
                - data
                    > fake_home_remote_repository.dart
                    > fake_home_local_repository.dart
                    > home_remote_repository.dart
                    > home_local_repository.dart
                - domain
                    > home_models.dart
                    > home_unions.dart
                    > home_exceptions.dart
                - presentation
                    > home_screen.dart
                    - controllers
                        > home_controller.dart
                    - sub_screens
                        ...
        - services
            > *_service.dart
        - utils
            > theme.dart
            > routes.dart
            > extensions.dart
            ...

The pattern that I use is the feature-first pattern.

A .env file is added to the root of the project. Used with the flutter_dotenv dependency.

Inside the lib folder, the main.dart file is recreated with dynamically generated code.

A subfolder named src is added to the lib folder. Inside of the src folder, three subfolders and one file are added:

• features
• services
• utils
• app.dart

Code is automatically generated for the app.dart file.

Features

This folder contains all of the features (screens) for your application. Within each feature, there are four subfolders that are added:

• application
• data
• domain
• presentation

Code is automatically generated for most of the files within the feature folder. The code is incorporated with a few dependencies, such as Riverpod and AutoRoute.

Services

This folder contains the services files such as logger, biometrics, HTTP client, ect.

Utils

This folder contains utility files such as theme, routes, extensions, ect.

Adding a feature/multiple features

Command: rudder add --features feature_name

This command adds a single feature to the features folder that contains all the appropriate subfolders and files.

Command: rudder add --features feature_name_one,feature_name_two

This command adds multiple features to the features folder that contains all the appropriate subfolders and files. The feature names must be separated by a comma with no spaces before or after.

Adding a sub feature

Command: rudder add --feature feature_name --sub_feature sub_feature_name

This command adds a sub feature to an existing parent feature (1 level). You can only add one sub feature at a time for one parent feature at a time.
