[SUGGESTION]: Integrate melos to simplify task execution #307
Description
We currently need to manually run commands to execute tasks like build_runner, format testing, analyzing etc. These are common tasks that can be run multiple times during development. We can integrate melos which will act as a Makefile for our flutter project, creating shortcuts for all tasks like building buiild_runner.
Some tasks that could be simplified include :-
- Generating files with build_runner.
- Checking code analysis with
flutter analyze. - Checking code format status.
- Running all tests

I think hooks are better in this case. Everyone has git, instead of relying on melos. Everyone would need to install their cli.
Melos is good if you are eg. Developing a federated package/plugin. Not sure it beats git hooks in our usecase though.

How would we use hooks to execute build_runner ?
I was looking at simplifying some of the commonly used tasks during development so instead of typing
flutter pub run build_runner watch -dwe could simply havemelos build:watchalternatively if we don't want to use melos, we can still create aMakefilewith some of these commands.pythonhubdev commentedon Mar 9, 2023
But most of the time people forget to setup Git Hooks @Xazin so it wont run by default right?

That is not really an issue though. Melos is built for mono repos, this isn't one.
It's overkill to use it as such. You would also need to run one command to have melos working, just as you would hooks. So that cannot be the argument.

Okay @Xazin
