Flutter is an application development framework from Google for creating cross-platform mobile applications (in iOS and Android). Things such as Hot Reload, a vast widget catalog, very good performance, and a solid community contribute to meeting that objective and makes Flutter a pretty good framework.

Imagine if you could make Flutter development faster, and see an instant boost in your workflow.

or even better:

What if there were best Flutter IDE and tools to choose from.

…and each of them could make your development faster and easier?

You’d probably be pumped to read about them.

Lucky for you, that’s exactly what I’m going to share with you in this post:

Best Flutter  IDEs and tools can become an unparalleled ally when it comes to code completion and visual assistance for debugging and building a Flutter app.

These IDEs and tools are the best you can find for developing mobile applications. But to use these with Flutter, we will need to use a few plugins.

Flutter IDEs

For Flutter, it’s best to use Android Studio/IntelliJ or Visual Studio (VS) code with Mac/Windows as your operating systems.

These IDEs are the best you can find for developing mobile applications. But to use these with Flutter, we will need to use a few plugins.

We will need a plugin for the Dart compiler, another for code analysis, and another for the Flutter developer workflow (building, running, and debugging).

1.  Android Studio

Android Studio or IntelliJ is the Recommend IDE by Flutter developers.

It provides you code completion, syntax highlighting, widget editing assists, run & debug support, and more.

There’s a browser-dev-tools style Inspector and more in the debug tools.

It has a very large plugin system that probably rivals the Sublime quality and surpasses it for web language. It has all the necessary features and plugins to develop a full-fledged Flutter app with ease.
