How to use

Method One: Replace or place one Scaffold per page you want to test with a FlutsterScaffold. For example:

   return FlutsterScaffold(
      name: "myUniqueWidgetName",
      appBar: AppBar(
        title: Text(widget.title),
      ),
      body: ...
    );

Method Two: Create the FlutsterTestRecorder and reference the widgets to test.

FlutsterTestRecorder(
  name: "myUniqueWidgetName",
  child: myWidget,
)

Once the Flutster plugin is integrated in your Android application, run the application either on an Android emulator or on a physical device with the help of scrcpy.

Use the Flutster menu to record widgets. Interact with your application to record user events. Store and playback recordings to test.
