Overview
A Dart package that provides a convention and utility tools for discovering and managing package extensions in Flutter and Dart projects. It enables developers to define and locate extension points within packages, promoting modular and extensible code design. The package supports dynamic discovery of extensions at runtime, making it easier to build plugin-based systems or frameworks that allow third-party contributions. It is particularly useful in tooling and framework development where extensibility is key.
Use cases
