The Code Market team has collected the top 40 libraries for Flutter developers. There are 20 libraries for beginners to make your code even better in no time at all. For professional developers, 20 libraries that will boost your application to the next level.
characters 1.2.0
This library will be beneficial to each developer. You can use it to interact with individual characters of a word. I think you should have a look at it.
For example to get first tag(<) character
// Using CharacterRange operations.
Characters firstTagCharacters(Characters source) {
var range = source.findFirst(“<”.characters); if (range != null && range.moveUntil(“>”.characters)) {
return range.currentCharacters;
}
return null;
}
pretty_dio_logger 1.1.1
This library is called pretty for a reason. This feature logger is a Dio interceptor that logs network calls in a pretty, easy to read format. Pretty, huh? Nothing superfluous, handy and quick way to detect the errors in sec.
Example:
Dio dio = Dio();
dio.interceptors.add(PrettyDioLogger());
// customization
dio.interceptors.add(PrettyDioLogger(
requestHeader: true,
requestBody: true,
responseBody: true,
responseHeader: false,
error: true,
compact: true,
maxWidth: 90));
extension 0.2.0
Working with Dart is a pleasure, especially if you use the libraries in your work. This library will help you to work with different languages. Just take a look at this code.
For example use plural forms for Russian words:
plural(1, ‘дом’, ‘дома’, ‘домов’); // returns дом
plural(2, ‘дом’, ‘дома’, ‘домов’); // returns дома
plural(5, ‘дом’, ‘дома’, ‘домов’); // returns домов
Or some fancy methods to get date:
// Is today
DateTime.now().isToday; // return bool
There are also a couple of useful links to other libraries inside.
undo 1.4.0
The library to undo and redo your changes in your Flutter project.
Undo a change with undo().
print(person.firstName); // Jane
changes.undo();
print(person.firstName); // John
linter 1.18.0
The Dart Linter library defines lint rules that identify and report on “lints” found in Dart code.
isolated_worker 0.1.0
The singleton isolated worker for all platforms. This is the way to isolate processes. On most platforms, it uses Flutter’s Isolate, except on the web, since Isolate is not available, it uses Worker instead.
Basic example:
// if using compute function:
// compute(doSomeHeavyCalculation, 1000);
IsolatedWorker().run(doSomeHeavyCalculation, 1000);
timeago 3.1.0
If you need fuzzy timestamps, you need to save this library. It takes you only five minutes and will save you a lot of effort. All you have to do is load the locales you want, because this library only supports English and Spanish.
The easiest way to use this library via top-level function format(date):
final fifteenAgo = new DateTime.now().subtract(new Duration(minutes: 15));
print(timeago.format(fifteenAgo)); // 15 minutes ago
print(timeago.format(fifteenAgo, locale: ‘en_short’)); // 15m
print(timeago.format(fifteenAgo, locale: ‘es’)); // hace 15 minutos
web3dart 2.3.3
Do you need a dart library that connects to interact with the Ethereum blockchain? This library includes many features like: connect to an Ethereum node with the rpc-api, call common methods; send signed Ethereum transactions; generate private keys, setup new Ethereum addresses and much more.
import ‘dart:math’; //used for the random number generator
import ‘package:web3dart/web3dart.dart’;
// You can create Credentials from private keys
Credentials fromHex = EthPrivateKey.fromHex(“c87509a[…]dc0d3”);
// Or generate a new key randomly
var rng = new Random.secure();
Credentials random = EthPrivateKey.createRandom(random)(rng);
// In either way, the library can derive the public key and the address
// from a private key:
var address = await credentials.extractAddress();
print(address.hex);
translator 0.1.7
