Compose Firebase Cloud Functions in the Dart language with firebase_js_interop
pub.dev firebase_js_interop | Dart packageWrappers and tools for composing Firebase Cloud Functions in the Dart language
I just released firebase_js_interop which allows you to compose Firebase Cloud Functions in the Dart language. Along with my firebase_rules package it is now possible to create an entire Firebase project with only type-safe Dart code! There are a lot of components missing, but writing the interop code is tedious, not hard. With third-party contributions we should be able to get close to full interop quickly.

See your package's overall ranking on pub.dev with pubstats.dev
The pubstats.dev page keeps track of historical pub.dev data. I just made it so that it can also show the rank of a package on pub.dev based on its popularity score. For example dio is rank 20 right now.
If you haven't seen pubstats.dev before here are some other features:
- Like count and popularity score tracked over time for all packages on pub.dev
- Historical tracking of a lot of package metadata such as version and dependents
- Compare like count and popularity graphs across multiple packages (ex https://beta.pubstats.dev/#/packages/dio,http)
- If you sign in you can set up alerts for package info changes. Very useful for making sure you have maximum pub points! There are only Discord webhook alerts for now since that's what I use personally, but if you'd like to see more options feel free to contribute on GitHub.
As an added bonus, https://beta.pubstats.dev uses the new WASM renderer. Thanks to the Flutter team for helping me make that possible! There is some weirdness with Google OAuth still with WASM (see this issue), but everything else works. If you want to set up Discord notifications you might want to use the stable https://pubstats.dev for now.

Introducing Hive Community Edition - Plus massive improvements over Hive v2
Since Hive v2 has been abandoned and v3/v4 are nowhere to be seen I decided to hard fork Hive into Hive Community Edition (hive_ce, hive_ce_fluter, hive_ce_generator). Originally hive_ce was just going to be in maintenance mode to keep up to date with the evolving Flutter/Dart ecosystem (mainly Flutter WASM support right now), but there are some things that bothered me too much to ignore.
First of all... Hive v2 didn't support Sets. Why? I don't know but hive_ce does. Hive boxes natively support the Set type and the generator supports classes with Set fields.
One of the main pain points with TypeAdapters was remembering to register them all. Well forget no longer because hive_ce_generator generates an extension method on Hive to register them all in one go:
```dart import 'package:your_package/hive_registrar.g.dart';
void main() { final path = Directory.current.path; Hive ..init(path) ..registerAdapters(); } ```

One Year Of learning flutter:
It has been a year since I decided to start learning Flutter [https://programming.dev/post/186393](Original Post), and it has been an amazing experience. Throughout this year, I managed to land an internship as a Flutter developer, get a decent job as a Flutter developer, and graduate with a computer science degree. So for anyone who is hesitating to start learning Flutter out of fear of the job market, I can tell you not to worry, there are a lot of jobs available. Some good resources to start with are the official Flutter documentation (which is incredible), as well as the official Flutter YouTube channel.
Finally, thanks to everyone who helped me when I was starting with Flutter, and good luck to all those who are just getting started.

The puby tool can now link dependencies twice as fast as melos with zero set up
pub.dev puby | Dart packageRun commands in all projects in the current directory. Handle monorepos with ease.
I posted about this package before and just got made fun of for the name, but this is a useful update for developers that work on large mono-repos on a daily basis. The
puby link
command used to requirepubspec.lock
files to be checked into version control in order to know which dependencies to grab, which most open source mono-repos do not allow. Notably, I work on the flutter/packages repo a lot and dealing with dependency resolution is a pain, but I just released an update to puby to fix this. This involves reusing the dependency resolution code directly from the pub command in order to catalog dependencies rather than relying on lock files. What this means in practice is you can have an empty pub cache, make a clean clone of the flutter/packages repo, and have all dependencies resolved in less than 30 seconds. Thepuby link
command is now almost twice as fast asmelos bootstrap
and requires zero setup whereas melos likes to complain about your repository structure. -

Does anyone here use Admob and the google_mobile_ads package?
For context, I work as a Mobile App developer for a company and use Flutter. We implemented Ads for our clients, and they have implemented lots of ads (a minimum of 3 in each screen).
After adding Ads, we noticed a small performance drop in Android devices. However, the performance on newer iOS devices is terrible.
There is already an open issue on Github and it seems the conflict is because Flutter display Ads using Native Views.
Did anyone here suffer from this and found a solution? We're currently debating if we will rewrite the app entirely in React Native.

Developing Flutter apps for Large screens
> Last year, we partnered with the team at gSkinner to develop Wonderous, a reference app to showcase the high-quality experiences possible with Flutter. One of the goals for creating Wonderous was to provide an open-source example that demonstrates best practices. In that same spirit, we audited Wonderous against Android’s large screen guidelines.
It's a Medium article but shouldn't count against any stupid quotas since it is from the Flutter team.

Xcode 15 issue related to Flutter 3 — Fix

Here's a nice simple article explaining enhanced enums that have been around for a while but may be something overlooked. Between these and sealed classes I think Dart has an excellent story for pattern matching.

firebase_rules | A type-safe Firebase rules generator for Firestore, Storage, and Realtime Database
pub.dev firebase_rules | Dart PackageA type-safe Firebase rules generator for Firestore, Storage, and Realtime Database
Disclaimer: I made this
I've been wanting a way to create type-safe Firebase rules for a while, so I made this package to let you do just that. I've used it for several of my projects now, and it's so much nicer than raw-dogging the rules syntax with no autocomplete. I was able to write rules from scratch without referencing the documentation once, and they deployed first try without any errors. I'm always hungry for feedback on my work, so please feel free to comment any feedback or suggestions.

I made a subsonic client to listen to my music, as a complete beginner with Flutter!
A few days ago I had this urge of making my own music player, since I have a Subsonic capable server (ampache) to host and serve music. I've been using DSub, which has a lot of features that I don't use, but works very very well. Alas it isn't "up to date" in terms of design.
So I made my own, heavily inspired by Android 13, Material 3 enabled, has dynamic colors / system theme fallback (a small thing that goes a long way, I didn't want to make an half baked customisation screen, since Android already has one why not use it?)
This was my very first Flutter and Dart experience, and I must say it was very enjoyable! The docs are awesome, there are a lot of plugins to choose from, hot reloading... I know now that I needed that feature, it's a must have to iterate quickly! I might have reduce the amount of time I slept the past few days but it was very well worth it.
Here is demo video https://imgur.com/a/SwOxcij (it has changed a bit since then, mostly on boarders/padding, by a few pixels at most but still relevant ; more up to date pictures on the readme of the github repo)!

Help a new flutter man out!
Hey guys, very new to flutter and have been learning in order to start making pull requests on Github. However its been a while since ive used a non-R programming language so I might be a bit rusty with some concepts.
For reference, the repo i want to help out is Thunder
What im trying to do is cause a page to scroll to the top, when the user presses the bottom navigation bar button for that page.
So it goes PageView, CommunityPage, then PostCardList, which is a class containing a ListView showing the cards and whatever else.
I get that I need to pass one of the scrollControllers up to the main PageView level, and then use the BottomNavigationBar onTap (index) function to call an animateTo on it. But i dont know where, or how i pass the scrollcontroller up a level. When i know how, do i just pass it from the PostCardList class, to the CommunityPage class, to the PageView-level class? Or is there some better way??
Sorry for such a low level question but ive been learning this for like 2 or 3 days and have no experience whatsoever hahaha
Thanks!
