How to "refresh" dependency packages with main project in Flutter? - flutter

Question

I am new to flutter development. I am trying to separate my code into multiple local packages as dependencies. Here's my current project structure:
/packages/commons: a package containing common widgets & utility functions
/packages/fruits: a package containing screens about fruits (depends upon: commons)
/main: depends upon commons & fruits
Whenever I make a dependency-change¹ in commons package that affects fruits package, I have to execute flutter pub get in three folders(for commons, fruits and main-project) to be able to run code.
Is there any way to reduce this process to a single "refresh" click?
Example in commons:
flutter pub add fluro
flutter pub get

Since I was getting impatient, I thought of writing a small shell-script for this. I don't know if there is an easier way, but this worked for me.
My project has following folder structure:
project
pubspec.yaml
packages/
package1/
pubspec.yaml
package2/
pubspec.yaml
package3/
pubspec.yaml
I created a refresh.bash file in project folder. Here's how it looks like:
# open project directory or exit if failed
cd PROJECT_PATH || exit
# check if project contains pubspec.yaml file
if [ -f "pubspec.yaml" ]; then
# check if packages folder exists
if [ -d "packages" ]; then
# open packages folder
cd "packages" || exit
# run for all subdirectories of packages folder
for d in */; do
# open subdirectory
cd "$d" || exit
# check if subdirectory contains pubspec.yaml file
if [ -f "pubspec.yaml" ]; then
# run pub get for subdirectory (package)
flutter pub get
fi
# exit subdirectory
cd ..
done
# exit packages directory
cd ..
fi
# run pub get for project directory
flutter pub get
else
echo "pubspec.yaml not found"
fi
Replace PROJECT_PATH with path to your project.
To be able to run this script, I had to make it executable. This can be done with following command:
chmod +x refresh.bash
After this, I ran the script (in bash terminal) with:
./refresh.bash
Note: I don't know how shell-scripts work as well, I took some hints from a Shell Script Cheatsheet. So, if there are any issues, or if it can be smaller, please suggest me. This is my first day with shell-scripting.
