Is there any way to reference names within pubspec.yaml?

Is there any way to reference a predefined name in pubspec.yaml?

I am trying to reference the "name" key's value in a structure used by a plugin

name: tpoly
description: A new Flutter application.

# [...]

flutter_launcher_name:
  name: *name

At the end the plugin should receive (basically the value should get substituted),

flutter_launcher_name:
  name: tpoly
Solution

  • First declare the variable using &. Here, foo, for example:

    name: &foo tpoly

    To refer, use *.

    flutter_launcher_name:
  name: *foo
