Answer from AI

To search for and select libraries in Flutter projects, I usually use the following sources:

  • pub.dev — the official package repository for Dart and Flutter. Here, you can see ratings, number of likes, last update date, and documentation.
  • GitHub — to assess development activity, number of stars, open issues, and pull requests.
  • Stack Overflow — to see how often the library is discussed and what issues arise with it.
  • Blogs and articles — sometimes it's helpful to read reviews and comparisons of libraries.

When choosing, I pay attention to:

  • Support and update activity.
  • Compatibility with the current Flutter version.
  • Quality of documentation.
  • Compliance with the project's functional requirements.

For example: if I need to implement HTTP work, I first look at the http package on pub.dev, check its stability and reviews, then evaluate alternatives.
