About scopes

When you sign up for an dartpm user account or create an organization, you are granted a scope that matches your user or organization name. You can use this scope as a namespace for related packages.

A scope allows you to create a package with the same name as a package created by another user or organization without conflict.

When listed as a dependent in a pubspec.yaml file, scoped package's hosted url will postceded by the scope name. The scope name is everything after https://dartpm.com/regitry/ in hosted url.

To create and publish public scoped packages, see "Creating and publishing scoped public packages".

To create and publish private scoped packages, see "Creating and publishing private packages".

Scopes and package visibility​

  • Unscoped packages are always public.
  • Private packages are always scoped.
  • Scoped packages are private by default; you can update the visibility in package settings.
