What You Missed From Substack on Flutter
--
These are the flutter articles you missed since my move to substack:
Flutter Localization Without Writing It Twice
The Flutter Docs directs you to use the Flutter
SDK tool gen l10n to write both the messages
by hand and the AppLocaalizations class by hand.
In large apps this can be a huge class of pain.
Let me show you a way in which that class is auto
generated along with the message classes all right
from your ARB files!
Material Design Holes In Flutter SDK And The Fix
Google is building four front-ends and so Material Design
is always implemented last in the Flutter SDK. There are a set
of strategies you can use when the useMaterialVersion flag shows
up to use the new Material Design features despite the Material
Design holes in the Flutter SDK. These techniques are from my own tool box.
A Design And DevOPS Way Of Generating Flutter Launch Icons
DevOPS is one of the areas not detailed in the Flutter SDK docs.
Being able to auto-generate the app launcher icons from the
app icon artwork is useful rather than fully manually having
to move and place the launcher icons in each platform subfolder.
Not to mention that the flutter SDK still does not generate android
adaptive launcher icons nor android 13 themed icons. So we have to
rely upon a Flutter Community effort in the form of the flutter
launcher icons package.
