If you miss an extension, please open an issue or pull request
On this page you can find some of the extensions. Take a look at the docs to see all of them.
Add the following to your pubspec.yaml
:
dependencies:
dartx: any
After you import the library, you can use the extensions.
import 'package:dartx/dartx.dart';
final slice = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5].slice(1, -2); // [2, 3, 4]
Returns elements at indices between start
(inclusive) and end
(inclusive).
final list = [0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5];
final last = list.slice(-1); // [5]
final lastHalf = list.slice(3); // [3, 4, 5]
final allButFirstAndLast = list.slice(1, -2); // [1, 2, 3, 4]
Sort lists by multiple properties.
final dogs = [
Dog(name: "Tom", age: 3),
Dog(name: "Charlie", age: 7),
Dog(name: "Bark", age: 1),
Dog(name: "Cookie", age: 4),
Dog(name: "Charlie", age: 2),
];
final sorted = dogs
.sortedBy((dog) => dog.name)
.thenByDescending((dog) => dog.age);
// Bark, Charlie (7), Charlie (2), Cookie, Tom
Get distinct elements from a list.
final list = ['this', 'is', 'a', 'test'];
final distinctByLength = list.distinctBy((it) => it.length); // ['this', 'is', 'a']
Get a new lazy Iterable
of all elements from all collections in a collection.
final nestedList = [[1, 2, 3], [4, 5, 6]];
final flattened = nestedList.flatten(); // [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6]
Chunk entries as long as two elements match a predicate:
final list = [1, 2, 4, 9, 10, 11, 12, 15, 16, 19, 20, 21];
final increasingSubSequences = list.chunkWhile((a, b) => a + 1 == b);
// increasingSubSequences = [[1, 2], [4], [9, 10, 11, 12], [15, 16], [19, 20, 21]]
splitWhen
is the opposite of chunkWhile
that starts a new chunk every time
the predicate didn't match.

using provided builderAction
and then converting it to String
.
final word = buildString((sb) {
for (var i = 0; i < 10; i++) {
sb.write(i);
}
});

Dartx exports @jogboms great ⏰ time.dart package so you can do the following:
int secondsInADay = 1.days.inSeconds;
Duration totalTime = [12.5.seconds, 101.milliseconds, 2.5.minutes].sum();
DateTime oneWeekLater = DateTime.now() + 1.week;
Check out ⏰ time.dart for more information and examples.
Ensures that this value lies in the specified range.
final numberInRange = 123.coerceIn(0, 1000); // 123
final numberOutOfRange = -123.coerceIn(0, 1000); // 0
Converts this value to binary form.
Converts this value to character
final character = 97.toChar(); // a
Creates a range between two ints (upwards, downwards and with custom steps)
// upwards with default step size 1
for (final i in 1.rangeTo(5)) {
print(i); // 1, 2, 3, 4, 5
}
// downwards with custom step
for (final i in 10.rangeTo(2).step(2)) {
print(i); // 10, 8, 6, 4, 2
}
Applies some of the required arguments to a function and returns a function which takes the remaining arguments.
void greet(String firstName, String lastName) {
print('Hi $firstName $lastName!');
}
final greetStark = greet.partial('Stark');
greetStark('Sansa'); // Hi Sansa Stark!
greetStark('Tony'); // Hi Tony Stark!
Get the name and extension of a file.
final file = File('some/path/testFile.dart');
print(file.name); // testFile.dart
print(file.nameWithoutExtension); // testFile
Append text to a file.
await File('someFile.json').appendText('{test: true}');
Checks if a file is inside a directory.
final dir = Directory('some/path');
File('some/path/file.dart').isWithin(dir); // true
References a file within a Directory
Directory androidDir = Directory('flutter-app/android');
File manifestFile = androidDir.file("app/src/main/AndroidManifest.xml");
References a directory within a Directory
Directory androidDir = Directory('flutter-app/android');
Directory mainSrc = androidDir.directory("app/src/main");
Checks if a Directory
contains a FileSystemEntity
. This can be a File
or a Directory
.
Use the recursive
argument to include the subdirectories.
final File someFile = File('someFile.txt');
final Directory someDir = Directory('some/dir');
final Directory parentDir = Directory('parent/dir');
parentDir.contains(someFile);
parentDir.contains(someDir);
parentDir.contains(someFile, recursive: true);
parentDir.contains(someDir, recursive: true);
This is the async
method, which returns a Future<bool>
.
Same as .contains(FileSystemEntity entity, {bool recursive = false})
but synchronous. Returns a bool
.
