Read about responsive app design in Flutter in Responsive App in Flutter.

Simplify your code by using these extensions:

• Replace lengthy Navigator.of(context).push(...) with context.push(...).
• More intuitive methods like context.replace(...), context.makeFirst(...), and context.pop(...) are available.
• Easily access device dimensions with context.mq.sizeX.width and context.mq.sizeX.height.
• Simplify focus management with context.setFocus(focusNode: focusNode).

Enhance date and time handling with extensions like:

• dayDifference: Get the difference in days between a date and the current date.
• toServerFormat(): Get an ISO-8601 formatted date string.
• isToday, isYesterday, isTomorrow: Check if a date is today, yesterday, or tomorrow.
• tomorrow() and yesterday(): Get the next day or previous day.

Streamline operations on Map objects:

• Use methods like getBool('key'), getInt('key'), getDouble('key'), getString('key'), getList('key'), and getMap('key') to retrieve values with optional default values.
• Convert a Map to a JSON string using toJson().
• Beautify Map output with toPretty().

Manipulate lists easily with toJson(), which converts a list to a JSON string.

Simplify string operations:

• toMap(): Parse a JSON string into a Map.
• toList(): Parse a JSON string into a List.
• isEmptyOrNull: Check if a string is null or empty.
• isNotBlank: Check if a string is not null, not empty, and not just whitespace.
• toINT and toDOUBLE: Parse a string as an int or double.
• asBool: Convert a string into a boolean.

Enhance numeric operations with extensions like:

• asBool: Convert an integer into a boolean.
• Fractional operations: tenth, fourth, third, half, doubled, tripled.

Customize widgets with ease:

• Add tooltips and gestures to widgets without complex nesting.
• Utilize widgets like Container and SizedBox with simplified notation.
