Creating a New Flutter Project

Creating a New Flutter Project

About

• Project Creation initializes app structure
• Uses flutter create command
• Configures platform-specific files
• Sets up default dependencies

Main Topics

1. Basic Creation

   • Definition: Default project setup
   • Example:

     flutter create my_app

2. Project Templates

   • Definition: Starter templates
   • Example:

     # Different templates:
     flutter create -t skeleton my_app

3. Package Naming

   • Definition: Reverse DNS convention
   • Example:

     flutter create --org com.example my_app

4. Platform Selection

   • Definition: Target platforms
   • Example:

     # Web-only project:
     flutter create -t app --platforms web my_app

5. Initial Dependencies

   • Definition: Starter pubspec
   • Example:

     # Default includes:
     flutter:
       sdk: flutter
     cupertino_icons: ^1.0.2

How to Use

• Create: Standard structure
• Templates: Choose starter
• Platforms: Select targets
• Org: Set package name

How It Works

1. Template: Copies base files
2. Configuration: Sets up pubspec
3. Platform: Generates runners
4. Git: Initializes repo

Example Creation:

# Full-featured project:
flutter create \
  --org com.company \
  --platforms ios,android,web \
  --pub my_app

Conclusion

The flutter create command establishes a well-organized project structure with all necessary configuration files for multi-platform development. Proper initial setup with correct package naming and platform selection ensures smooth project scaling and deployment.
