Create Controller

Create controller

Add a GetxController the same way get create controller:name on folder does. Write the file from the templates in this skill. Do not copy an existing controller — those files often contain feature-specific API and UI logic.

Name and options

From the user (dialog, dialogcontroller, get create controller:dialog on home):

1. Trim a trailing controller (any case) so dialogcontroller and dialog both become dialog.
2. snake = snake_case. pascal = PascalCase.
3. Class is always {pascal}Controller.
4. File is always {snake}_controller.dart.

Destination

If on is set, write:

{found-folder}/controllers/{snake}_controller.dart

Create controllers/ if it is missing.

If on is omitted, write:

lib/app/controllers/{snake}_controller.dart

If that file already exists, ask before overwriting.

Default file

When with is not given, write:

import 'package:get/get.dart';

class {pascal}Controller extends GetxController {
  //TODO: Implement {pascal}Controller

  final count = 0.obs;

  @override
  void onInit() {
    super.onInit();
  }

  @override
  void onReady() {
    super.onReady();
  }

  @override
  void onClose() {
    super.onClose();
  }

  void increment() => count.value++;
}

Custom template (with)

Read the file or URL body, then replace:

Write the substituted dart to the destination path above.

Binding

After the controller file exists, find a binding to register it:

Walk up from the controller’s directory looking for a file named {folder}_binding.dart or {folder}.controller.binding.dart, where {folder} is the on name (snake_case). Example: on home → home_binding.dart.

If a binding is found:

1. Add an import for the new controller next to the other relative imports, e.g. import '../controllers/{snake}_controller.dart'; (adjust ../ to the real relative path from the binding file).
2. Skip the import if it is already there.
3. Inside void dependencies() {, insert at the top of the body:

    Get.lazyPut<{pascal}Controller>(
      () => {pascal}Controller(),
    );

Keep the binding’s existing Get.lazyPut calls. Match its indent and trailing-comma style.

If no binding file is found, leave routing/DI alone — the controller file is still created.

Do not create a view, a new binding, or a route. This skill only adds a controller (and updates an existing binding when one belongs to that folder).

Done

The work is done when:

• {snake}_controller.dart exists at the destination with class {pascal}Controller.
• If a matching binding existed, it imports that controller and Get.lazyPuts it inside dependencies().

Examples

get create controller:dialog on home

lib/app/modules/home/controllers/dialog_controller.dart

Class DialogController. home_binding.dart gains the import and:

    Get.lazyPut<DialogController>(
      () => DialogController(),
    );

get create controller:dialogcontroller on home

Same files as above (dialog after stripping the controller suffix) so the class is DialogController, not DialogcontrollerController.

get create controller:auth (no on)

lib/app/controllers/auth_controller.dart

Register in a binding only if auth_binding.dart is found while walking up from that file.
