Overview
num_utilities is a Dart package that enhances numeric types (int, double) and their iterables with useful extension methods. It provides convenient utilities for mathematical operations, conversions, and data manipulation, improving code readability and reducing boilerplate. The package is lightweight and designed to integrate seamlessly into Flutter and Dart projects across all major platforms. Ideal for developers working with numerical data in apps requiring calculations or statistical processing.
Use cases
- Performing batch math operations on number lists
- Simplifying numeric type conversions
- Enhancing readability of arithmetic expressions
- Handling edge cases in numeric computations
- Implementing statistical functions on collections
- Streamlining data preprocessing
Key features
- Extension methods for int and double
- Iterable support for numeric collections
- Clean, chainable syntax
- Cross-platform compatibility
- Minimal dependencies
- Easy integration via pub add
Suitable for
- Flutter developers needing math helpers
- Data processing in mobile and web apps
- Projects involving numerical analysis
- Teams prioritizing clean, readable code
- Educational or prototype applications
Considerations
- Limited to numeric types only
- No built-in error handling for extreme values
- Not optimized for large-scale numerical computing
- Requires manual testing of edge cases
- Does not replace full math libraries like 'math_expressions'
- Best suited for simple to moderate numeric tasks
