CLI commands

flutter_beautify recognizes five commands. Anything else prints usage and exits non-zero.

init

flutter_beautify init

Interactively asks for three folder paths and writes them to .flutter_beautify_config.json in the current directory:

Prompt	Default
Widgets directory	lib/widgets
Utils directory	lib/utils
Demo directory	lib/demo

Press Enter on any prompt to accept its default. See Configuration for what actually reads these values today.

config

flutter_beautify config

Prints the current configuration. If .flutter_beautify_config.json doesn't exist yet, it prints the defaults without creating the file.

add <component>

flutter_beautify add button
flutter_beautify add date-picker

Copies one component's template into your project. See the full list on the Components page — component names are always dash-case (bottom-navigation-bar, not bottomNavigationBar), regardless of the underlying .dart file name.

Run add with no argument to print the full list of valid component names.

Behavior:

• Creates the destination directory if it doesn't exist yet.
• Refuses to overwrite a file that's already there — delete it yourself first if you want a fresh copy.
• Exits with a non-zero status if the component name isn't recognized, or if something is wrong with the CLI's own install (this should never happen in a released version — see Troubleshooting).

version

flutter_beautify version

Prints the CLI's version string.

help

flutter_beautify help

Prints the command summary. Running flutter_beautify with no arguments does the same thing.
