docs: how to create a package with dartfrog?

[abcnow]

Hi There: I am trying to create a package within a project with dartfrog but I can't find any document about it.. with flutter you just enter "flutter create --template=package my_cool_package" and it creates a package within your project.. I tried "dart_frog create --template=package my_cool_package" but nothing happened.. your help is much appreciated!

Hi, you can find it here https://dartfrog.vgv.dev/docs/overview

If you have dart_frog the terminal will tell you the following because template option does not exist.

> dart_frog create --template=package my_cool_package
Could not find an option named "template".

Usage: dart_frog create [arguments]
-h, --help            Print this usage information.
    --project-name    The project name for this new project. This must be a valid dart package name.

Run "dart_frog help" to see global options.

I think the terminal is telling you that dart_frog command is not found. Be sure you installed it and have the dart global bin folder in your path.

To install it run:

dart pub global activate dart_frog_cli

And pay attention if dart tells you if the pub executables are not in you path. In this case dart will provide you the command to add it in you path.

@abcnow, the dart_frog cli can only create a dart frog project and dart frog related templates.

To create an internal package within your dart frog project from the command line, you just need to create a simple dart package, which can be done via the dart cli: dart create -t package, or you could also use very_good_cli: very_good create dart_package.
