🚀 Key Features

1. Instant Project Scaffolding

Kickstart production-ready projects in seconds with standardized architectures.

• Command: Flutter Mate: Create Project
• Templates:
  • 🏢 Enterprise BLoC: Clean Architecture + BLoC + Equatable + Freezed
  • 🌊 Enterprise Riverpod: Clean Architecture + Riverpod + Hooks + Freezed
  • 🚤 Modern Riverpod: Feature-first architecture + GoRouter
  • 🏛️ Classic MVVM: Provider + ChangeNotifier
  • ⚡ Rapid MVC: GetX + GetRouter
  • 🍦 Vanilla: Simple, no-dependency structure
• Includes:

  • Precise folder structures (core, features, data, domain).

2. 🧬 Context-Aware Wraps

Intelligent "Wrap with..." options based on your project's state management.

• Usage: Select a Widget -> Cmd+. (Quick Fix) -> Choose Option.
