MD Labs

Professional Flutter project scaffolding for VS Code

MD Labs is an internal-grade extension that helps your team generate consistent, production-ready Flutter applications from a centralized Clean Architecture template — without manual setup, copy-paste, or drift across projects.

Built by Ziad Haggag for MD Labs.

Overview

When you open VS Code, MD Labs launches a secure guided workflow: sign in, sync the latest template from Git, configure your app, and generate a fully structured project with identifiers, FVM configuration, dependencies, and code generation already handled.

The result is a standardized codebase your team can extend immediately — aligned with MD Labs engineering practices from day one.

Key capabilities

Capability	What it delivers
Live template sync	Fresh clone from your Git repository each session — template updates ship without republishing the extension
Clean Architecture baseline	BLoC, Injectable, GoRouter, Dio, Freezed, flavors, localization, and project structure preconfigured
4-step guided wizard	Project identity → Flutter SDK → packages → generate
FVM integration	Select, cache, and pin Flutter versions per project
Package management	Template packages are locked; search pub.dev to add extras with version editing and conflict checks
End-to-end generation	Copy, rename, `pub get`, and `build_runner` in one flow
Secure access	Team sign-in required before using the wizard

Workflow

1 · Project

Define display name, project name (snake_case), Android/iOS package ID, description, and output folder.

2 · Flutter

Choose a Flutter version with FVM support — check installation, browse cached versions, or download new SDKs.

3 · Packages

Review locked template dependencies. Search pub.dev for additional packages, adjust versions, and resolve conflicts before generation.

4 · Generate

Preview the template file tree, then generate the project with live progress and a success summary.

Template delivery

MD Labs does not bundle a static template inside the extension. Each session syncs the latest official template from your team's repository, so updates are available without republishing the extension.
