Pubspec Platform Analyzer

A powerful VSCode extension that analyzes your Flutter/Dart project's pubspec.yaml dependencies and provides detailed platform compatibility analysis against your target platforms.

Features

🔍 Comprehensive Platform Analysis

• Analyzes all dependencies and dev dependencies from your pubspec.yaml
• Scrapes real-time platform and SDK information from pub.dev
• Checks compatibility against your configured target platforms (Android, iOS, Linux, macOS, Windows, Web)

📊 Interactive Compatibility Dashboard

• Color-coded compatibility status: ✅ Fully Compatible, ⚠️ Partially Compatible, ❌ Incompatible
• Interactive filtering by compatibility status
• Detailed breakdowns showing supported vs missing platforms and SDKs
• Separated views for production dependencies vs dev dependencies

⚙️ Highly Configurable

• Configure target platforms in VSCode settings
• Default targets: Android, iOS, Linux, macOS, Web (optimized for desktop + mobile development)
• Support for all pub.dev platforms and SDKs (Dart, Flutter)

⚡ High Performance

• Concurrent processing: All package requests happen simultaneously (4-8x faster)
• Real-time progress feedback with detailed status updates
• Comprehensive error handling with fallback information

🌙 Developer-Optimized UI

• Dark mode only interface optimized for long development sessions
• Clean, professional design with intuitive navigation
• Visual distinction between dependency types (📦 production, 🔧 development)
• Branded experience with custom logo and consistent theming

🏗️ Modular Architecture

• Clean separation of concerns with dedicated modules for each functionality
• Comprehensive test coverage ensuring reliability
• Maintainable codebase ready for future enhancements

Usage

1. Open a Flutter/Dart project in VSCode
2. Run the command palette (Ctrl+Shift+P) and search for "Analyze Pubspec Dependencies Platforms"
3. View the interactive compatibility dashboard that opens

Requirements

• VSCode 1.107.0 or higher
• A Flutter/Dart project with pubspec.yaml

Extension Settings

This extension contributes the following settings:

Target Platforms

• pubspec-platform.targetPlatforms: Array of target platforms you want your app to support
  • Default: ["Android", "iOS", "Linux", "macOS", "Web"]
  • Available options: "Android", "iOS", "Linux", "macOS", "Windows", "Web"
  • Recommended: Include Linux/macOS if you develop for desktop platforms

Target SDKs

• pubspec-platform.targetSDKs: Array of target SDKs you want your app to support
  • Default: ["Flutter"]
  • Available options: "Dart", "Flutter"

How It Works

The extension follows a modular architecture:

1. YAML Processing (src/utils/yaml.ts): Parses pubspec.yaml and extracts dependencies/dev dependencies
2. Web Scraping (src/utils/scraper.ts): Concurrently fetches package data from pub.dev and extracts platform/SDK information
3. Compatibility Analysis (src/utils/compatibility.ts): Compares package capabilities against your target platforms
4. UI Rendering (src/ui/webview.ts): Displays results in an interactive dark-mode dashboard
5. Orchestration (src/extension.ts): Coordinates the entire workflow

Performance Optimizations

• Concurrent HTTP requests: All package data is fetched simultaneously instead of sequentially
• Efficient HTML parsing: Uses Cheerio for fast, reliable DOM extraction
• Case-insensitive matching: Handles platform name variations (Web/web, Android/android)
• Smart caching: Failed requests provide fallback information without breaking the analysis

Testing & Quality Assurance

The extension includes comprehensive unit tests covering all major functionality:

Test Coverage

• ✅ YAML parsing: Valid YAML parsing, dependency extraction, Flutter SDK filtering
• ✅ HTML scraping: Platform/SDK extraction from pub.dev, error handling
• ✅ Compatibility logic: Full/partial/none status detection, case-insensitive matching
• ✅ Integration workflows: End-to-end dependency analysis simulation

Running Tests

# Fast unit tests (no VSCode required)
pnpm run test:unit

# Full VSCode integration tests (requires VSCode installation)
pnpm run test

Design Principles

• Single Responsibility: Each module has one clear purpose
• Test-Driven Development: All features are thoroughly tested
• Modular Design: Easy to maintain, extend, and refactor
• Performance Optimized: Concurrent processing and efficient algorithms

Known Issues

• Network-dependent: Requires internet access to fetch pub.dev data
• Rate limiting: Large projects may encounter pub.dev API limits (automatic retry recommended)
• Platform name variations: Some packages may use inconsistent casing (Web/web)

Contributing

This project uses a modular architecture that makes contributions easy:

Development Setup

# Install dependencies
