Context
When you work on a Flutter app, you run the same commands over and over — clean, build, test, format, lint. A Makefile gives you one-word shortcuts for each step and lets you chain format, lint, and tests into a commit target so you do not commit unformatted or broken code.
Usage
Makefile:
.PHONY: all run_dev_web run_dev_mobile run_unit clean upgrade lint format build_dev_mobile help
help: ## Show available commands
@fgrep -h "##" $(MAKEFILE_LIST) | fgrep -v fgrep | \
awk 'BEGIN {FS = ":.*?## "}; {printf "\033[36m%-20s\033[0m %s\n", $$1, $$2}'
run_unit: ## Run unit tests
@flutter test
clean: ## Clean build artifacts
@rm -rf pubspec.lock && flutter clean
format: ## Format code
@dart format .
lint: ## Analyze code
@dart analyze .
commit: format lint run_unit ## Format, lint, test, then commit
@git add . && git commit
run_dev_web: ## Run web app in dev mode
@flutter run -d chrome --dart-define=ENVIRONMENT=dev
run_dev_mobile: ## Run mobile app in dev mode
@flutter run --flavor dev
build_dev_mobile: clean run_unit ## Build dev APK
@flutter build apk --flavor dev
Commands:
make help # List all commands
make run_dev_web # Start web dev server
make commit # Format, lint, test, commit
