@distromate/flutter

Build Flutter desktop apps through distromate with Flutter as the host build tool.

Install

npm install -D @distromate/cli @distromate/flutter

flutter must be available on your PATH, or in .fvm/flutter_sdk/bin/flutter.

Usage

Point distromate.yaml at the builder plugin and put Flutter-specific overrides in source.options:

source:
  type: adapter
  plugin: flutter
  options:
    projectDir: .
    target: lib/main_prod.dart
    flavor: prod
    flutterArgs:
      - --dart-define-from-file=.env.prod.json

publish:
  appId: "70253487"
  channel: stable

package:
  publisher: Demo Inc.

Run DistroMate directly:

distromate package -v 1.2.3
distromate publish -v 1.2.3

Installing @distromate/flutter adds the dm-plugin-flutter command. distromate no longer installs plugins for you.

Behavior

• runs flutter build windows|macos|linux
• detects the built desktop artifact layout automatically
• derives productName, package.name, package.shortDescription, version, icons, and native paths from Flutter metadata and build output
• writes DistroMate package artifacts to the same native Flutter build directory unless outputDir is overridden
• returns prepared native source metadata plus inferred DistroMate defaults over JSON/stdio so distromate continues the package or publish flow

Notes

• host-native only: one platform per run, matching the current OS and architecture
• plugin-specific overrides go under source.options
• relative icon, extraFiles, extraResources, signing paths, source.options.target, and source.options.splitDebugInfo values resolve from the config file location
