semantic-release-flutter-plugin v1.1.2

semantic-release-flutter-plugin

semantic-release plugin to bump pubspec.yaml version with version code support.

Warning: Your branches array configuration order for semantic-release actually matters. More explanation here.

Install

$ npm install semantic-release-flutter-plugin -D

Options

Deciding weights

The highest version code Play Store allows is 2100000000 (2 billion, 100 million). Which means you'll need to configure the values carefully. This is also very close to the integer limit for 32-bit devices. If you don't want to publish your app to Play Store or support 32-bit devices, the limit can be safely ignored.

The default configuration allows for:

• 21 major versions
• 1000 minor versions (in a single major version)
• 100 patch versions (in a single minor version)
• 10 release channels
• 100 prerelease builds (in a single version)

The limits are calculated by doing upperWeight / currentWeight, eg. if you want to calculate a minor version limit, you can do majorWeight / minorWeight. If upperWeight is 0, look for the upper weight of upperWeight, eg. if you set channelWeight to 0, the formula for prerelease number limit is patchWeight / preReleaseWeight.

Examples

Warning: The order in the branches property matters! The plugin will generate a higher version code depending on where you place your branch configuration on the array.

When the plugin notices a prerelease version (eg. v1.1.0-alpha.1), it will get the index of where the prerelease branch configuration is (in this case, alpha). In the below example, the index that it gets is 2, then it multiplies that number by the supplied the channelWeight option (2 * channelWeight) and adds it to the version code number.

This would mean that users from the alpha channel wouldn't be able to downgrade to beta (index 1) or the main (index 0) channel, as the index for those configuration is lower than the alpha's index.

If you want to disable this feature, set channelWeight to 0. This will increase room for more version codes.
