I built an open-source package: flutter-ui-utils

I kept copying the same UI setup code across every Flutter app: spacing helpers, responsive breakpoints, theme shortcuts, and a few small widgets I use everywhere. Same stuff, different project.

So I built flutter-ui-utils to fix this: a tiny, practical set of UI helpers that keeps my codebase consistent and speeds up building screens.

What It Does

flutter-ui-utils gives you a handful of building blocks for day-to-day Flutter UI. Nothing fancy—just the stuff you reach for constantly.

What's included:

  • Spacing helpers — consistent paddings/margins without magic numbers everywhere
  • Responsive utilities — simple helpers for breakpoints and scaling
  • Theme shortcuts — faster access to typography/colors and common text styles
  • Small widgets — a couple of reusable UI primitives I ship often
  • Opinionated defaults — conventions that keep screens consistent

Install It

flutter pub add flutter_ui_utils

Or add it to your pubspec.yaml:

dependencies:
  flutter_ui_utils: ^0.1.0

Quick Start

// Example usage (conceptual)
// import 'package:flutter_ui_utils/flutter_ui_utils.dart';

Now you can keep your UI code a lot cleaner—for example, by using shared spacing/theme helpers and responsive utilities consistently across screens.

Wrap Up

The goal is simple: move faster on UI without losing consistency.

If you want, I can also update this post later with the real package API and a link to the repo once you decide the final name and publish it.
