Flutter Docs Workflow for Alfred

Search the Flutter documentation using Alfred.

Installation

1. Download the latest version
2. Install the workflow by double-clicking the .alfredworkflow file
3. You can add the workflow to a category, then click "Import" to finish importing. You'll now see the workflow listed in the left sidebar of your Workflows preferences pane.

Usage

Just type fl followed by your search query.

fl container

Either press ⌘Y to Quick Look the result, or press <enter> to open it in your web browser.

Development

The workflow is built with Rust 1.88 or newer on macOS. Copy .env.example to .env and provide the three Algolia settings before building a release binary; the release target also accepts settings already exported in the environment.

cargo run -- -q "Container"

Install cargo-about before running the complete local check, because make ci generates the bundled third-party license notice:

cargo install cargo-about --locked --features cli
make ci

make package creates the versioned universal .alfredworkflow archive. Runtime caches, .env, and the Python index-generation inputs are intentionally excluded from the package.

Note

The lightning fast search is powered by Algolia which was generous enough to hand me a big enough plan to fit the whole Flutter search index. A big thank you to @algolia and @redox :heart: :heart: :heart:
