CoreGen (VS Code / Cursor)
Extension that wraps the CoreGen CLI: command palette, Quick Input wizards, and Explorer context menu to scaffold Flutter projects with a DDD-style layout.
Useful links
Install the CLI from PyPI, for example:
pip install coregen
Versions: extension ↔ CLI
The extension semver (package.json → version) reuses the CoreGen CLI major.minor it is designed and tested against. The extension patch only tracks UI releases (fixes, editor compatibility), not the CLI patch on PyPI: the CLI can be 3.1.4 while the extension is 3.1.0, 3.1.1, … as long as it stays on the 3.1.x line.
| What |
Where to read it |
| Extension (this package) |
version in package.json |
| CLI in the monorepo |
project.version in pyproject.toml (repo root) |
| CLI on your machine |
coregen --version / pip show coregen |
Release notes for the Marketplace / GitHub are in CHANGELOG.md (CLI compatibility is noted there on every bump).
Requirement: the CoreGen CLI
This extension does not ship the executable. The coregen command must be available on your machine. The official package is on PyPI — coregen.
Typical install (PATH)
pip install coregen
(see also the PyPI page for versions and metadata.)
Make sure the coregen script is on the PATH of your terminal and of the process that starts VS Code / Cursor (on macOS/Linux often ~/.local/bin).
Custom path
If you do not use PATH, set coregen.executablePath in Settings to the full path of the executable (e.g. /opt/coregen/bin/coregen or C:\\Tools\\coregen.exe).
Without a correctly configured CLI, extension commands will fail with an error in the Output panel → CoreGen channel.
