What is GetX Snippets?

GetX Snippets is a handy IDE extension that compresses long boilerplate code into a few characters. We can simply type the shortcuts, and the corresponding code is written automatically in the IDE. In this lesson, we list some of the most useful snippets. While these code snippets are helpful in general, they are a must-have if we’re architecting the project as per the getx_pattern structure.

For the complete list of snippets, visit https://github.com/kauemurakami/getx_snippets_extension.

We’ve broadly categorized the snippets into the following categories:

  • Flutter widgets

  • GetX widgets

  • GetX classes

  • Variables

  • GetX one-liners

  • Miscellaneous

Let’s walk through every category one by one and see some examples.

Using GetX Snippets, we can easily generate Flutter widgets with prefilled values, making them ready to use. This reduces the time spent on configuring common widgets. Here are some examples:

This snippet creates a FloatingActionButton with default configurations.
