Clean Flutter Projects

README.md

Usage

You provide this script with a base folder that contains multiple Flutter projects, and it iterates through each project folder running flutter clean in each one. Run the script and watch it do its (really simple) magic.

Steps

Windows

1. Download the ZIP file and open PowerShell at the extracted folder.
2. Execute the .ps1 script with .\clean_flutter_projects.ps1 and provide path of the base folder as argument.
   • Example: .\clean_flutter_projects.ps1 C:\Users\omar\MyProjects

Linux / macOS

1. Download the ZIP file and open terminal at the extracted folder.
2. Execute the .sh script with ./clean_flutter_projects.sh or sh clean_flutter_projects.sh and provide the path of the base folder as argument.
   • Example: ./clean_flutter_projects.sh /Users/omar/MyProjects

clean_flutter_projects.ps1

# Check if no argument is provided
if ($args.Count -eq 0) {
    # Prompt the user to provide a directory as an argument
    Write-Host "Provide base directory as argument (Example: .\clean_flutter_projects.ps1 C:\path\to\directory)"
    exit 1
} elseif ($args.Count -gt 1) {
    # Error out if more than one argument is provided
    Write-Host "Error: Too many arguments provided. 1 argument is expected."
    exit 1
}

# Check if the provided argument is not a directory
if (!(Test-Path $args[0] -PathType Container)) {
    Write-Host "Error: '$($args[0])' is not a valid directory."
    exit 1
}

# Change directory to the provided argument
Set-Location $args[0] -ErrorAction Stop

# Create an array of directories in the current directory
$directories = Get-ChildItem -Directory
# Count the total number of projects/directories
$totalProjects = $directories.Count
# Store the name of the current directory
$currentDir = $PWD.Path.Split("\")[-1]

# Display the total number of projects found
Write-Host "Found $totalProjects projects in $currentDir"

# Get initial directory size in MB
$initialSize = (Get-ChildItem -Recurse | Measure-Object -Property Length -Sum).Sum / 1MB
# Initialize a counter for cleaned projects
$count = 0
# Loop through each directory
foreach ($folder in $directories) {
    # Check if the item is a directory
    if (Test-Path $folder.FullName -PathType Container) {
        # Increment the cleaned projects counter
        $count++
        # Change directory to the project folder
        Set-Location $folder.FullName -ErrorAction Stop
        # Run flutter clean command
        flutter clean
        # Change back to the parent directory
        Set-Location .. -ErrorAction Stop
        # Display the cleaned project info
        Write-Host "Cleaned project $($folder.Name) ($count/$totalProjects)"
    } else {
        # Inform if the found item is not a directory
        Write-Host "$($folder.Name) is not a directory."
    }
}

# Get final directory size in MB
$finalSize = (Get-ChildItem -Recurse | Measure-Object -Property Length -Sum).Sum / 1MB
# Calculate the size difference
$sizeDifference = $initialSize - $finalSize
# Display the size difference
Write-Host "Cleaning finished. You freed up $($sizeDifference.ToString("F2")) MB!"
