Overview
flutter_scripts is a developer tool that enables running Dart or Flutter scripts directly from the pubspec.yaml file. It simplifies automation tasks by allowing users to define custom scripts as part of their project configuration, making it easy to execute commands like code generation, asset processing, or testing workflows without external build tools. The package integrates seamlessly with Flutter’s pub system and supports all major platforms including Android, iOS, Web, macOS, Windows, and Linux. It enhances productivity by centralizing script definitions within the project's manifest.
