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_utilsOr add it to your pubspec.yaml:
dependencies:
flutter_ui_utils: ^0.1.0Quick 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.
