Package Overview

Package selection guidance compiled from public package information, community data, and project usage.

Flutter Lorem generates random placeholder text such as sentences and paragraphs, mimicking the style of traditional 'lorem ipsum' content. It's ideal for prototyping UIs where actual text isn't yet available. The package supports multiple platforms including Android, iOS, Web, macOS, Windows, and Linux, making it versatile for cross-platform development. With a simple API, developers can quickly insert realistic-looking dummy content into their apps during design or testing phases.

Use cases

  • UI prototyping
  • Placeholder text generation
  • Design mockups
  • Testing layout responsiveness
  • Content placeholder for early-stage apps

Key features

  • Cross-platform support
  • Simple API
  • Random sentence and paragraph generation
  • Lightweight
  • Easy integration via pub add

Suitable for

  • App designers
  • Frontend developers
  • Prototyping teams
  • UI/UX testers

Considerations

  • Not suitable for production content
  • Text is randomized and not meaningful
  • Limited customization options
  • No language-specific variants
  • Depends on external source code

flutter_lorem

A Flutter package for generating random sentences and paragraphs. The output looks similar to the famous "lorum ipsum" placeholder text. Useful when designing user interfaces that require example text:

Neo preclarus, mensa sono. Te laetabilis. Furor supremus mille procella sicut dolor construo illae addo vixi. Ferre uti indagatio post.

Imitabilis singulus receptum facillimus quae, formo vel aliquis epulor ago. Aliud comprehendo, humus quam expositus ops. Revoco donec, feteo fere.

Usage

Import the package:

import 'package:flutter_lorem/flutter_lorem.dart';

Call the lorum function, specifying the number of paragraphs and words to generate.

String text = lorem(paragraphs: 2, words: 60);
print(text);

The above might print:

Qua procella, illo eternus semel cui propello. Arma iniquus tribuo legentis victum tergo victor repeto, multus. Qui volup amita porro perseverantia. Positus lacunar qui praecepio St. Incertus surgo vires nolo.

Cogo, modicus Malbodiensis defigo, maxime nutus. Spectaculum optimus defluo. Locupleto memor tamisium fodio priores, reddo praecox antea, suum. Sitis orbis duro, cedo moris prolusio nimis consui iuvo, imago. Placo novus.

How it works

Sentences are formed from a list of approximately 4000 latin words. Up to two commas are inserted per sentence. Shorter words are favoured 50% of the time, which produces a more natural looking sentence.

Words are selected randomly. The sentences are not valid latin!
