The Dart Color Switcher is a Visual Studio Code extension that helps developers quickly convert between different Dart color representations such as:
Integer-based color to Hex (e.g., Color(4281033611) to Color(0xFF2B638B))
Hex color to ARGB (e.g., Color(0xFF2B638B) to Color.fromARGB(255, 43, 99, 139))
ARGB to Integer color (e.g., Color.fromARGB(255, 43, 99, 139) to Color(4281033611))
The extension supports both a quick action and a command that can be triggered via keybindings.
Features
Automatic Color Conversion: Converts the nearest Dart color expression to another format based on its current representation.
Supported Color Representations:
Color(int)
Color(0x...)
Color.fromARGB(...)
Quick Fix Integration: Easily convert colors by hovering over a Color() expression and using the Quick Fix option.
Keyboard Shortcut: Use a keyboard shortcut to trigger the conversion of the nearest color expression to the cursor.
Usage
1. Quick Fix Action
The extension provides a Quick Fix action that allows you to convert Dart color expressions by placing the cursor near a Color() instance in your code.
Hover over a color expression (e.g., Color(0xFF2B638B)) and you will see a light bulb icon appear.
Select the Quick Fix option to convert the color to a different format.
2. Keyboard Shortcut
You can also use the keyboard shortcut to perform the same conversion action:
Windows/Linux: Ctrl + Shift + H
macOS: Cmd + Shift + H
Place the cursor near any Color() expression in your code and press the shortcut keys to convert the nearest color format.
Supported Conversions
Integer to Hex: Converts Color(4281033611) to Color(0xFF2B638B).
Hex to ARGB: Converts Color(0xFF2B638B) to Color.fromARGB(255, 43, 99, 139).
ARGB to Integer: Converts Color.fromARGB(255, 43, 99, 139) to Color(4281033611).
