🔍 What Is Flutter Folder Structure Helper?

Every new Flutter app starts with the same repetitive work: creating folders, wiring up Provider, adding a theme, setting up local storage, writing widget boilerplate, and building API models and services by hand.

This extension automates all of it. Whether you are starting a new Flutter project or improving the structure of an existing one, it removes repetitive tasks and saves valuable development time so you can focus on your app's real logic and UI.
