Flutter support for (Neo)vim

NOTE: install

Most likely the extension will find your sdk automatically as long as the flutter command maps to an sdk location on your system.
If you are using a version manager like asdf that maps the flutter command to another binary instead of an sdk location or this extension cannot find your sdk for another reason you'll have to provide the extension with how to find your sdk.
To do this there are a few options:
which command like then you can set the flutter.sdk.flutter-lookup config option. Eg. "flutter.sdk.flutter-lookup": "asdf which flutter".flutter.sdk.searchPaths config option.
Either specify the exact folder the sdk is installed in or a folder that contains other folders which directly have an sdk in them. Note that not all of these folders need to have an sdk, if they don't contain one they will simply be ignoredflutter.sdk.path config option to the exact path you want to use for your sdk.
If you have also set the flutter.sdk.searchPaths then you can use the FlutterSDKs list (see below) to see what versions you have installed and set the config option for you. Note that this means that the flutter.sdk.path option will be overriden by this listWhen the extension starts and has found an sdk it will request from flutter the available devices.
The device it will run the app on will be shown in the statusbar and can be changed using the FlutterDevices list.
If you call flutter.run with an explicit -d deviceId argument then the selected device will be ignored.
After making sure that the correct device is selected you can run the app by calling the flutter.run:
:CocCommand flutter.run
If you want to give arguments to the flutter run command you can simply append them:
:CocCommand flutter.run -t lib/main.dart --flavor myflavor
FlutterSDKs
:CocList FlutterSDKs
Shows all the sdks that can be found by using the searchPaths config and the flutter-lookup config options and allows you to switch between them, either only for your current workspace or globally.
Besides those two ways to find sdks it also checks if you are using fvm and if so uses those directories to find your sdk.
You can disable this using the flutter.fvm.enabled config option.
You can also use this list to see what your current sdk is since it will have (current) behind it clearly.
FlutterDevices
:CocList FlutterDevices
Shows a list of available devices that can be selected to use as run destination.
When selecting a device it will by default be stored in the workspaceState such that a device can be selected on a per project basis.
If no device is stored yet in the workspaceState it will fall back to the globalState and otherwise simply use the first device reported by flutter.
It also has the run action which only runs the app once on that device without changing the selected device.
You can configure the default action that us used using the flutter.devicesDefaultAction config option as described below.
FlutterEmulators
:CocList FlutterEmulators
Shows emulators available to start.
flutter.trace.server default: off
Trace level of log
flutter.enabled default: true
Enable coc-flutter extension
flutter.lsp.debug default: false
Enable debug for language server

When set to true, analysis will only be performed for projects that have open files rather than the root workspace folder.
flutter.lsp.initialization.suggestFromUnimportedLibraries: default: true
When set to false, completion will not include synbols that are not already imported into the current file
[flutter.lsp.initialization.closingLabels](#closing-labels): default: true
When set to true, will display closing labels at end of closing, only neovim support.
flutter.sdk.searchPaths default: []
the paths to search for flutter sdks, either directories where flutter is installed or directories which contain directories where flutter versions have been installed eg.
/path/to/flutter(command at/path/to/flutter/bin/flutter) or~/flutter_versions(command at~/flutter_versions/version/bin/flutter).
flutter.sdk.dart-command default: ''
dart command, leave empty should just work
flutter.sdk.dart-lookup default: ''

The id of the device that was last selected using the FlutterDevices list (only if the device is selected using one of the
configactions).
flutter.devicesDefaultAction default: workspaceState

FlutterDeviceslist. Thestateoptions will store the selected device in coc'smemos.jsonfile. Theconfigoptions will store the selected device in thecoc-settings.jsonfile.
dart.analysisExcludedFolders default: []
An array of paths (absolute or relative to each workspace folder) that should be excluded from analysis.
dart.enableSdkFormatter default: true
When set to false, prevents registration (or unregisters) the SDK formatter. When set to true or not supplied, will register/reregister the SDK formatter.
dart.lineLength default: 80
The number of characters the formatter should wrap code at. If unspecified, code will be wrapped at 80 characters.
dart.completeFunctionCalls default: true
Completes functions/methods with their required parameters.
dart.showTodos default: true
Whether to generate diagnostics for TODO comments. If unspecified, diagnostics will not be generated.
Enable format on save:
"coc.preferences.formatOnSaveFiletypes": [
"dart"
],
Add below config mapping
this config should be in the coc.nvim README
xmap <leader>a <Plug>(coc-codeaction-selected)
nmap <leader>a <Plug>(coc-codeaction-selected)
Applying codeAction to the selected region.
Example: <leader>aap for current paragraph, <leader>aw for the current word
Then you will see action list:
Open flutter only commands list: CocList --input=flutter commands
Global Commands:
flutter.run Run flutter dev serverflutter.attach Attach running applicationflutter.create Create flutter project using: flutter createflutter.doctor Run: flutter doctorflutter.upgrade Run: flutter upgradeflutter.pub.get Run: flutter pub getflutter.devices open devices listflutter.emulators open emulators listLSP Commands

the closing labels will be display at end of closing.
