Document pub from Flutter's perspective #10070
Description
We seem to have some confusion.
For example, this dart-only package used the Flutter plugin template and thus has needless obj-c/android code:
https://github.com/perlatus/flutter_zoomable_image/tree/master/ios/Classes
Yet as far as I can tell, never calls that code:
https://github.com/perlatus/flutter_zoomable_image/blob/master/lib/src/zoomable_image.dart
This seems like a reasonable thing for this user to have done, since we don't really talk about packages? :)

So the user journeys is: Create shareable/reusable Flutter code ?
In that article, we can explain what a package is (since we can assume the user doesn't know about dart or pub), what kinds of things can go into packages, how to create a new starter package, how to ensure the ecosystem knows the package is intended for Flutter, and how to mark your package as intended for a particular version/point-in-time for Flutter. Did I miss any other sub-journeys?

Correct. The user journey is to create shareable/reusable flutter code. We explain that today, but only in the context of plugins, and thus I think that's how @perlatus (understandably) ended up with the plugin bits in their dart package.
I believe you've covered all the journeys yes. @mit-mit

Do you have any examples of non-plugin reusable flutter/UI code? If I start deleting the android/iOS bits I can't get the example to run, which is the same problem I had setting up a dart package from scratch.
edit: Basically, having a simple way to spin up a flutter-compatible dart package would be nice.

https://pub.dartlang.org/packages/flutter_markdown is an example of a non-plugin flutter package.

We have a product question that we should answer before we write this doc.
Q: What is the best command to run to create a new Flutter package (which, may or may not contain plugins for iOS and Android) ?
Options:
flutter createwhich may actually work great. Need to test.stagehand package-flutterwhich doesn't exist but rides off of stagehandflutter create --package [--with-plugins]which doesn't exist, but could, if vanillacreatedoesn't do what we wantThe big question is, should the
fluttertool provide the package creation magic?I believe the answer is "yes", so I'd like to first explore if
flutter createis sufficient (and doesn't require manualy rejiggering for a package with and without plugins).mit-mit commentedon May 29, 2017
I don't think
flutter createis a good fit. We don't wantandroidandiosfor what should be a "pure-dart Flutter package". I think we need another option in flutter create: #10377sethladd commentedon May 30, 2017
