This week in Flutter #59: How to manage mono-repo Flutter projects

25 June 2022 — Newsletter

When you are working in a Flutter mono-repo, that is a Flutter project with code divided into sub packages, you need a way to manage dependencies, tests, and code generation, for your main project and for all the sub packages. You can do it using scripts. You would add a folder to the repository with a script to validate and get dependencies in all the sub packages, one script to run tests in all packages and combine coverage, and one script to run all code generations.

It can become hard to maintain, that is why there are tools like Melos. I am experimenting now with it and planning to introduce it in a bigger project.

Are you using mono-repos? Do you use scripts or a specific tool to manage sub packages? Let me know in the comment section below.

Damodar Lohani writes for Appwrite a tutorial to integrate Stripe and Flutter. I had planned to work on a web app using the same technologies, but we ended up using a static website and a different payment provider. But the idea stayed in my mind, hidden behind all the other projects I am working on. I am happy to read this article. Now I know where to start from.
