Installation

Add this package to pubspec.yaml as follows:

$ flutter pub add nb_utils

Import package

import 'package:nb_utils/nb_utils.dart';

Initialize nb_utils in main.dart file for initializing Shared Preferences and other variables. Also you can assign your Chat GPT key here.

void main() async {
  WidgetsFlutterBinding.ensureInitialized();

  await initialize();

  chatGPTAPIkey = "YOUR_KEY";

  runApp(MyApp());
}

Now, add navigatorKey in your MaterialApp or CupertinoApp

return MaterialApp(
  debugShowCheckedModeBanner: false,
  navigatorKey: navigatorKey,
  home: HomePage(),
);

/// Open a new screen
HomePage().launch(context);

/// Animate the new page (Slide, Rotate, Scale, Fade)
HomePage().launch(context, pageRouteAnimation: PageRouteAnimation.Slide);

/// Remove all screens from back stack and opens new screen
HomePage().launch(context, isNewTask: true);

// Returns to previous Screen
finish(context);

// Returns to previous Screen with a result
finish(context, object);

/// Toast a String
toast('This is a string');

/// Prints only if in debug or profile mode - (parameter is Object)
log('Your string');

void hideKeyboard(context)

/// If you are opening Dialog in initState method and you want to use BuildContext but yet it is not created,
/// You can use afterBuildLayout in initState method like this.
afterBuildLayout(() {
  // Get Callback after your build widget is rendered
});

/// Get Package Name from Native Platform (Android, iOS)
await getPackageName();

/// Get Package Name, Version Code, Version Name (Android, iOS)
await getPackageInfo();

/// Return true if Android OS version is above 12
Future<bool> isAndroid12Above()

///  Handle error and loading widget when using FutureBuilder or StreamBuilder
/// "snap" is the snapShot value we get from FutureBuilder or StreamBuilder
return snapWidgetHelper(snap);

/// See the example below. You can Use FutureBuilder or StreamBuilder.

  builder(_, snap) {
    if (snap.hasData) {
      return YourWidget();
    } else {

Shared Preference Example

/// To use SharedPreference, you must call initialize() method in main.dart file as mentioned in Installations section

/// setValue method has (String key, dynamic value) parameters

/// add a Double in SharedPref
await setValue("key", 20.0);

/// add a bool in SharedPref
await setValue("key", false);

/// add a int in SharedPref
await setValue("key", 10);

/// add a String in SharedPref
await setValue("key", "value");

/// add a String List in SharedPref
await setValue("key", ['value', 'value', 'value']);

/// Returns a Bool if exists in SharedPref
/// You can set a default value if it returns null
getBoolAsync("key");

/// Returns a Double if exists in SharedPref
getDoubleAsync("key");

/// Returns a Int if exists in SharedPref
getIntAsync("key");

/// Returns a String if exists in SharedPref
getStringAsync("key");

/// Returns a JSON if exists in SharedPref
