flutter-add-widget-preview

A Flutter workflow for creating interactive previews of widgets in isolation. A widget is a reusable piece of Flutter’s user interface, such as a button or screen section.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when creating or changing widgets to add preview annotations, show multiple configurations, and apply shared themes or wrappers.
Why use it?
It lets you inspect and test UI components without running the entire application or setting up all of its surrounding context.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

flutter-add-widget-preview scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 2d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Previewing Flutter Widgets

Contents

Preview Guidelines

Use the Flutter Widget Previewer to render widgets in real-time, isolated from the full application context.

  • Target Elements: Apply the @Preview annotation to top-level functions, static methods within a class, or public widget constructors/factories that have no required arguments and return a Widget or WidgetBuilder.
  • Imports: Always import package:flutter/widget_previews.dart to access the preview annotations.
  • Custom Annotations: Extend the Preview class to create custom annotations that inject common properties (e.g., themes, wrappers) across multiple widgets.
  • Multiple Configurations: Apply multiple @Preview annotations to a single target to generate multiple preview instances. Alternatively, extend MultiPreview to encapsulate common multi-preview configurations.
  • Runtime Transformations: Override the transform() method in custom Preview or MultiPreview classes to modify preview configurations dynamically at runtime (e.g., generating names based on dynamic values, which is impossible in a const context).

Handling Limitations

Adhere to the following constraints when authoring previewable widgets, as the Widget Previewer runs in a web environment:

  • No Native APIs: Do not use native plugins or APIs from dart:io or dart:ffi. Widgets with transitive dependencies on dart:io or dart:ffi will throw exceptions upon invocation. Use conditional imports to mock or bypass these in preview mode.
  • Asset Paths: Use package-based paths for assets loaded via dart:ui fromAsset APIs (e.g., packages/my_package_name/assets/my_image.png instead of assets/my_image.png).
  • Public Callbacks: Ensure all callback arguments provided to preview annotations are public and constant to satisfy code generation requirements.
  • Constraints: Apply explicit constraints using the size parameter in the @Preview annotation if your widget is unconstrained, as the previewer defaults to constraining them to approximately half the viewport.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
