The official Flutter extension for Lumide IDE.
lumide_flutter turns Lumide into a fully-fledged Flutter development environment. It provides project management, device handling, debugging tools, and real-time log streaming.
- Create Projects: Easily start new Flutter projects (
flutter.create). - Dependency Management: Run
pub getfor single projects or the entire workspace in parallel. - Environment Checks: Built-in
flutter doctorintegration to diagnose issues.
- Dynamic Detection: Automatically detects connected devices (iOS, Android, Web, Desktop).
- Quick Switching: Switch active devices instantly via the Status Bar or Command Palette.
- Platform Icons: Visual indicators for device types (Mobile, Web, Monitor).
- Debug Sessions: Launch Flutter under the debugger from the toolbar Debug button or the
Flutter: Debugcommand. - Breakpoints: Set breakpoints in the editor gutter and inspect verified breakpoint state in Lumide’s debug panel.
- Stack & Variables: Inspect stack frames, scopes, and expandable variables directly in the debug panel when execution pauses.
- Stepping Controls: Continue, Pause, Step Over, Step Into, Step Out, and Stop are exposed through the debug toolbar.
- Exception Filters: Switch between ignored, uncaught, and all exceptions from the debug panel.
- Hot Reload: Trigger hot reload on save (configurable), via the toolbar, or with
Cmd + \. - Hot Restart: Full application restart with
Cmd + Shift + \or a single click on the toolbar. - DevTools: Open Dart DevTools directly within a Lumide pane or in your external browser.
- Debug Output: In debug mode, Flutter logs are shown inside the debug panel’s Output section so logs and paused-state inspection stay together.
- Run Output: In run mode, view colored, real-time logs in the Flutter output channel. Separate Build Output keeps things clean.
- Status Bar: Shows the active Flutter SDK version. Click to access the Flutter Tools menu.
- SDK Manager: Browse official stable and beta releases, install verified SDK archives, validate installations, and choose user or workspace defaults from Lumide Settings.
- Existing SDKs: Detects Flutter on
PATHplus workspace selections from FVM and Puro without taking ownership of those installations. - Toolbar: Context-aware controls (Run, Stop, Reload, Restart) appear when a Flutter project is active.
- Debug Navigation: When a breakpoint is hit, Lumide jumps to the stopped source location and lets you navigate by stack frame or breakpoint entry.
Access these via the Command Palette (Cmd+Shift+P / Ctrl+Shift+P):

Open SDKs: Manage SDKs from the Command Palette to install or select a
Flutter SDK. A Flutter SDK on PATH, an FVM workspace, or a Puro workspace also
works. For Flutter projects, Lumide automatically uses the Dart SDK bundled in
the selected Flutter installation.
The plugin retains PATH/FVM/Puro discovery when running against an older Lumide host that does not expose SDK management.
