Flutter samples index generator

This tool is used to generate the visual samples index for Flutter samples.

Generating the index

We use grinder to run the build tasks:

$ dart pub get
$ dart run grinder generate

This will generate the index into ./web

Serving the index locally

If you want to serve the index locally, you can use webdev:

$ dart pub global activate grinder
$ webdev serve

Publishing the index

You can build the complete index into a publishable directory using Grinder:

$ dart run grinder build-release

This outputs the completely built index to ./public.

Generating cookbook content

The cookbook articles are generated using a WebDriver script that scrapes the docs.flutter.dev website. To run:

1. Install ChromeDriver
2. run chromedriver --port=4444 --url-base=wd/hub --verbose
3. run dart run grinder scrape-cookbook
