Why flutter_createx?

flutter create is powerful — but it has 11 flags, 6 templates, and 6 platform options. Nobody memorises all of them.

flutter_createx turns it into a guided wizard:

✦ Visual flag selection — arrow keys, space to toggle, enter to confirm
✦ All flutter create flags exposed — nothing hidden
✦ Command preview — see the exact command before it runs
✦ Approval step — nothing executes without your confirmation
✦ FVM aware — works with flutter or fvm flutter automatically
✦ Zero config — install once, run anywhere

Installation

dart pub global activate flutter_createx

That's it. No config files, no project setup.

---

Usage

flutter createx

The wizard walks you through every option step by step:

How It Works

you run: flutter createx
         └── Flutter CLI looks for executable: flutter_createx
                  └── finds dart pub global binary
                           └── launches interactive wizard
                                    └── builds flutter create command
                                             └── shows preview + waits for approval
                                                      └── executes flutter create ✅

dart pub global activate places the flutter_createx binary on your PATH. Flutter's CLI automatically delegates unknown subcommands to binaries named flutter_<subcommand> — no shell tricks, no aliases.
