Flutter : What are the differences between Flutter Plugin, Flutter Package and Flutter Module?

Question

on selecting Create New Flutter Project in android Studio and there appear 4 choices for that as below.

• Flutter Application
• Flutter Plugin
• Flutter Package
• Flutter Module

What is the difference between all these Flutter project types

Solution

1. Flutter Application: A standalone, fully-functional Flutter application.
2. Flutter Plugin: A plugin is a kind of bridge that you develop between a native feature like camera API in Android and iOS.
3. Flutter Package: A package is a flutter application written solely using Dart. It doesn't have much to do with the Native functionalities.
4. Flutter Module: A module is a set of functionalities that you want to use in your app. It is a custom code that does a specific task but can be used for other apps in the future. So, you keep it handy.

P. S.: Android already gave each description in short. In the last screenshot.

Well, the actual description is “ Build an efficient, lightweight, and high performance client side SDK “. What does it mean then?

[Randal Schwartz]

It's just HR-speak. It means nothing. You need to talk to someone technical that isn't just quoting buzzwords. There isn't any way you're building an SDK in any short time.

I just want to get an overview about it.

[Randal Schwartz]

what do you mean "overview" and "it"? Hard to know what will satisfy that.
