Shadcn Flutter

A cohesive UI ecosystem for Flutter—components, theming, and tooling—ready to ditch Material and Cupertino. Built with modern design tokens and high-quality widgets across mobile, web, and desktop.

Getting Started

To set up a fresh Flutter application with Shadcn Flutter:

  1. Add the dependency:

    flutter pub add shadcn_flutter
    
  2. Configure your main.dart:

    import 'package:shadcn_flutter/shadcn_flutter.dart';
    
    void main() {
      runApp(
        ShadcnApp(
          title: 'My App',
          theme: ThemeData(
            colorScheme: ColorSchemes.darkSlate,
            radius: 0.5,
          ),
          home: const MyHomePage(),
        ),
      );
    }
    
    class MyHomePage extends StatelessWidget {
      const MyHomePage({super.key});
    
      @override
      Widget build(BuildContext context) {
        return const Scaffold(
          child: Center(
            child: Text('Hello World!').h1(),
          ),
        );
      }
    }

Interactive Usage Tips

  1. Wait for Interaction: When using Popover or Dialog, prefer using the provided controllers for programmatic access.
  2. Lean on Extensions: Use .h1(), .p(), .iconSmall() etc., instead of manually configuring TextStyle or size.
  3. Density Matters: Use DensityContainer or theme.density to ensure spacing is consistent across platform-specific densities.
