🐰 Flutter Bunny CLI (BETA) #

A powerful CLI tool for creating and managing Flutter applications with best practices and consistent architecture.

📚 Overview #

Flutter Bunny is an opinionated CLI tool that helps you create, manage, and maintain Flutter applications with a focus on:

• Best practices - Follow Flutter community best practices for code organization and patterns
• Consistent architecture - Choose from popular architecture patterns (Clean, MVVM, MVC)
• Rapid development - Generate common components with a single command
• Testing - Built-in testing templates and utilities
• Project maintenance - Tools to keep your project organized and up-to-date

Beta Installation #

dart pub global activate flutter_bunny 1.0.5-beta.4

# Verify installation
flutter_bunny --version

Make sure the pub cache bin directory is in your PATH.

🏗️ Commands #

Creating a New Flutter Project #

# Create a new Flutter application interactively
flutter_bunny create app

# Create with specific options
flutter_bunny create app --name my_awesome_app --architecture clean_architecture --state-management riverpod

During creation, you'll be guided through selecting:

• Project name and organization
• Architecture pattern (Clean Architecture, MVVM, MVC)
• State management solution (Provider, Riverpod, Bloc, GetX, etc.)
• Core features and modules to include

Generating Components #

Generate various application components with best practices baked in:

# Generate a new screen
flutter_bunny generate screen --name HomeScreen

# Generate a stateful widget
flutter_bunny generate widget --name CustomButton --stateful

# Generate a data model with JSON serialization
flutter_bunny generate model --name User --fields "id:int,name:String,email:String,createdAt:DateTime" --json

The generate command supports the following component types:

• screen - Application screens/pages
• widget - Reusable UI components
• model - Data models with optional JSON serialization

Updating the CLI #

# Update to the latest version

🎨 Customization #

Configuration #

Flutter Bunny uses a configuration file to store your preferences. You can edit this file directly or use the command-line options to override settings.

# View current configuration
flutter_bunny config show

# Set a configuration value
flutter_bunny config set default_architecture clean_architecture

Templates #

Templates used by Flutter Bunny can be customized to match your team's specific requirements:

1. Create a custom template in the ~/.flutter_bunny/templates/ directory
2. Use your custom template with the --template flag:

flutter_bunny create app --template custom_template

🧪 Testing #

Projects created with Flutter Bunny are set up with comprehensive testing utilities:

• Unit Tests - For business logic, models, and utilities
• Widget Tests - For UI components
• Integration Tests - For feature workflows

Run tests using the built-in commands:

# Run all tests
flutter_bunny test

# Run specific tests
flutter_bunny test --type unit

📋 Architecture Options #

Flutter Bunny supports multiple architecture patterns:

Clean Architecture #

Separates your application into layers with clear responsibilities:

• Presentation Layer - UI components, pages and state management
• Domain Layer - Business logic, entities and use cases
• Data Layer - Data sources, repositories and models

MVVM (Model-View-ViewModel) #

Separates UI logic from business logic:

• Model - Data and business logic
• View - UI components with minimal logic
• ViewModel - Mediator between Model and View

MVC (Model-View-Controller) #

Classic pattern for separating concerns:

• Model - Data and business logic
• View - UI components
• Controller - Handles user input and updates models/views

🧩 State Management Options #

Flutter Bunny supports multiple state management solutions:

• Provider - Simple and flexible state management
• Riverpod - Evolution of Provider with improved patterns
• Bloc/Cubit - Predictable state management with events and states
• GetX - Lightweight state management with utilities
• MobX - Reactive state management
• Redux - Predictable state container
