Overview
The flag package is a Flutter library that provides a collection of country flags sourced from the flag-icons repository. It enables developers to easily display high-quality, standardized flags in their Flutter applications across multiple platforms. The package supports Android, iOS, Web, macOS, Windows, and Linux, ensuring consistent flag rendering regardless of the target environment. With minimal setup via `flutter pub add flag`, it's ideal for apps requiring country identification, language selection, or regional customization.
