## Quick Start

### Step 1: Include plugin to your project

```yml
dependencies:
flutter_shortcuts:
```

Run pub get and get packages.

### Step 2: Instantiate Flutter Shortcuts Plugin

```dart
final FlutterShortcuts flutterShortcuts = FlutterShortcuts();
```

### Step 3: Initialize Flutter Shortcuts

```dart
flutterShortcuts.initialize(debug: true);
```

## Example

### Define Shortcut Action

```dart
flutterShortcuts.listenAction((String incomingAction) {
setState(() {
if (incomingAction != null) {
action = incomingAction;
}
});
});
```

### Get Max Shortcut Limit

Return the maximum number of static and dynamic shortcuts that each launcher icon can have at a time.

```dart
int? result = await flutterShortcuts.getMaxShortcutLimit();
```

### Shortcut Icon Asset

Flutter Shortcuts allows you to create shortcut icon from both android `drawable` or `mipmap` and flutter Assets.

* If you want to use icon from Android resources, `drawable` or `mipmap`.

use: `ShortcutIconAsset.androidAsset`

```dart
ShortcutItem(
id: "2",
action: 'Bookmark page action',
shortLabel: 'Bookmark Page',
icon: "ic_launcher",
shortcutIconAsset: ShortcutIconAsset.androidAsset,
),
```

* If you want to create shortcut icon from flutter asset. (DEFAULT)

use: `ShortcutIconAsset.flutterAsset`

```dart
ShortcutItem(
id: "2",
action: 'Bookmark page action',
shortLabel: 'Bookmark Page',
icon: 'assets/icons/bookmark.png',
shortcutIconAsset: ShortcutIconAsset.flutterAsset,
),
```

### Set shortcut items

Publishes the list of shortcuts. All existing shortcuts will be replaced.

```dart
flutterShortcuts.setShortcutItems(
shortcutItems: [
const ShortcutItem(
id: "1",
action: 'Home page action',
shortLabel: 'Home Page',
icon: 'assets/icons/home.png',
),
const ShortcutItem(
id: "2",
action: 'Bookmark page action',
shortLabel: 'Bookmark Page',
icon: "ic_launcher",
shortcutIconAsset: ShortcutIconAsset.androidAsset,
),
],
),
```

### Clear shortcut item

Delete all dynamic shortcuts from the app.

```dart
flutterShortcuts.clearShortcutItems();
```

### Push Shortcut Item

Push a new shortcut item. If there is already a dynamic or pinned shortcut with the same **ID**, the shortcut will be updated and pushed at the end of the shortcut list.

```dart
flutterShortcuts.pushShortcutItem(
shortcut: ShortcutItem(
id: "5",
action: "Play Music Action",
shortLabel: "Play Music",
icon: 'assets/icons/music.png',
),
);
```

### Push Shortcut Items

Pushes a list of shortcut item. If there is already a dynamic or pinned shortcut with the same **ID**, the shortcut will be updated and pushed at the end of the shortcut list.

```dart
flutterShortcuts.pushShortcutItems(
shortcutList: [
const ShortcutItem(
id: "1",
action: 'Home page new action',
shortLabel: 'Home Page',
icon: 'assets/icons/home.png',
),
const ShortcutItem(
id: "2",
action: 'Bookmark page new action',
shortLabel: 'Bookmark Page',
icon: 'assets/icons/bookmark.png',
),
const ShortcutItem(
id: "3",
action: 'Settings Action',
shortLabel: 'Setting',
icon: 'assets/icons/settings.png',
),
],
);
```

### Update Shortcut Item

```dart
flutterShortcuts.updateShortcutItem(
shortcut: ShortcutItem(
id: "1",
action: 'Go to url action',
shortLabel: 'Visit Page',
icon: 'assets/icons/url.png',
),
);
```

### Update Shortcut Items

```dart
flutterShortcuts.updateShortcutItems(
shortcutList: [
const ShortcutItem(
id: "1",
action: 'Resume playing Action',
shortLabel: 'Resume playing',
icon: 'assets/icons/play.png',
),
const ShortcutItem(
id: "2",
action: 'Search Songs Action',
shortLabel: 'Search Songs',
icon: 'assets/icons/search.png',
),
],
);
```

### Set Conversation Shortcut

Set `conversationShortcut: true` in ShortcutItem to make the shortcut as conversation shortcut.

The conversation shortcut can also be set as important and bot by setting `isImportant: true` & `isBot: true`.

```dart
await flutterShortcuts.pushShortcutItems(
shortcutList: [
const ShortcutItem(
id: "1",
action: 'open_chat_1',
shortLabel: 'Divyanshu Shekhar',
icon: 'assets/icons/home.png',

shortLabel: 'Subham Praharaj',

conversationShortcut: true,
),
const ShortcutItem(
id: "3",
action: 'oepn_chat_3',
shortLabel: 'Auto Reply Bot',
icon: 'assets/icons/url.png',
conversationShortcut: true,
isBot: true,
),
],
);
```

```dart
flutterShortcuts.changeShortcutItemIcon(
id: "2",
icon: "assets/icons/next.png",
);
