Project Starter Kit

project_starter_kit is a Flutter utility package that provides a collection of helpers and extensions covering the most common tasks when starting a new project, including theming, form validation, and platform-specific logic, helping reduce boilerplate code.

Features

  • Theming: A suite of theming helpers for consistent spacing, sizing, and typography.
  • Validation: A robust FormValidator class with a wide range of pre-built validation methods.
  • Extensions: Useful Dart extensions for BuildContext, String, and Iterable.
  • Utilities: Helpers for platform-specific logic and debug logging.

Getting Started

Add the package to your pubspec.yaml:

dependencies:
  project_starter_kit: ^1.0.0 # Replace with the latest version

Then, import the package in your Dart files:

import 'package:project_starter_kit/project_starter_kit.dart';

Usage

Form Validation

Quickly add validation to any TextFormField using the FormValidator singleton.

TextFormField(
  validator: (value) => FormValidator.compose([
    () => FormValidator.instance.required(value),
    () => FormValidator.instance.email(value),
  ]),
),

String Extensions

Easily manipulate strings with helpful extension methods.

'hello world'.toTitleCase(); // -> 'Hello World'

'some text'.capitalize(); // -> 'Some text'

'  remove spaces  '.removeWhitespace(); // -> 'removespaces'

BuildContext Shortcuts

Access theme and media query properties without the boilerplate.

// Instead of this:
// width: MediaQuery.of(context).size.width,
// color: Theme.of(context).primaryColor,

// Do this:
Container(
  width: context.screenWidth,
  color: context.primaryColor,
  child: Text(
    'Hello!',
    style: context.textTheme.headlineMedium,
  ),
);
