I was recently looking into Dart CLI tools and script managers and found a few interesting options. These can really impact productivity and ease of use.

I have personally used Derry to replace some long commands to generate native libs etc. There are other options like Slidy, but haven’t used them.

    I’ve been using makefiles for a while and find them pretty good. The only downside is adding any arguments to recipes (passed when executing them) is tricky. On the other hand, there was only one scenario where that could be useful (release-staging from below), but I managed to get what I wanted without arguments. I like makefiles for portability and automatic shell completion for fish.

    Here’s a Makefile from one of the projects I’m working on to give a better idea of my usage:

    QA_TARGET := "lib/main_qa.dart"
    PROD_TARGET := "lib/main_prod.dart"
    
    get-packages:
    	flutter pub get
    
    code-generation:
    	dart run build_runner build --delete-conflicting-outputs
    
    localizations:
    	dart run intl_utils:generate
    
    apk-qa:
    	flutter build apk --target $(QA_TARGET)
    
    appbundle-prod:
    	flutter build appbundle --target $(PROD_TARGET)
    
    ipa-qa:
    	flutter build ipa --target $(QA_TARGET)
    
    ipa-prod:
    	flutter build ipa --target $(PROD_TARGET)
    
    launcher-icons:
    	dart run flutter_launcher_icons
    
    release-staging:
    	$(eval DIFF := $(shell git diff -- pubspec.yaml | grep '^+version'))
    	@if [ -z "$(DIFF)" ]; then \
    		echo "Error: No changes in version. Aborting."; \
    		exit 1; \
    	fi
    
    	@OTHER_DIFF=$$(git diff -- './*' ':!pubspec.yaml'); \
    	if [ -n "$$OTHER_DIFF" ]; then \
    		echo "Error: Changes found outside of pubspec.yaml. Aborting."; \
    		exit 1; \
    	fi;
    
    	$(eval VERSION := $(shell awk '/^version: / {print $$2}' pubspec.yaml))
    	$(eval LAST_RELEASE_HASH := $(shell git log --pretty=format:'%H %s' | grep 'chore(build): Bump build number to' | awk 'NR==1{print $$1}'))
    	$(eval CHANGES := $(shell git log --pretty=format:'\n- %s' $(LAST_RELEASE_HASH)...HEAD))
    
    	@echo "chore(build): Bump build number to $(VERSION)\n\nChanges:$(CHANGES)" > commit_msg.txt
    	@echo "Releasing version $(VERSION) to STAGING"
    
    	git add pubspec.yaml
    
    	git commit -F commit_msg.txt
    	rm commit_msg.txt
    
    	git tag v$(VERSION)
    	git push
    	git push --tags
