final package =  await client.packageInfo('pkg_name');

final score =  await client.packageScore('pkg_name');

The method 'packageMetrics' returns the package 'score' together with a 'scorecard'

final metrics =  await client.packageMetrics('pkg_name');

The method 'packageVersions' also returns the versions. However if all you need is versions use this method since it's lighter.

final versions =  await client.packageVersions('pkg_name');

The method packageVersionInfo returns information about a version of a specific package.

final version =  await client.packageVersionInfo('pkg_name', 'version');

The method packagePublisher returns the publisherId of a specific package.

final publisher =  await client.packagePublisher('pkg_name');
// publisher.publisherId

The method packageOptions returns options of a package.

final options =  await client.packageOptions('pkg_name');

The method documentation returns all versions and their respective documentation status.

final documentation =  await client.documentation('pkg_name');

All requests for likes require pub.dev authentication.

final likes =  await client.listPackageLikes();

final like =  await client.likePackageStatus();

Likes a package. The method returns packageLike payload

final like =  await client.likePackage('pkg_name');

Unlikes a package. The method returns packageLike payload

Search for packages on pub.dev. Will return the packages that match the query. You can filter the search with tags.

final results =  await client.search(
  'query',
  tags: [
    PackageTag.publisher('publisher_id'),
    PackageTag.dependency('dependency_name'),
    'another:tag',
  ],
  topics:['topic_1', 'topic_2'],
);
// Returns the packages that match the query
print(results.packages)

You are able to sort search results by the following:

Search score should be a weighted value of [text], [popularity], [points] and [like], ordered decreasing.

Search score should depend only on text match similarity, ordered decreasing.

Search order should be in decreasing last package creation time.

Search order should be in decreasing last package updated time.

Search order should be in decreasing popularity score.

Search order should be in decreasing like count.

Search order should be in decreasing pub points.

final results =  await client.search('query', sort: SearchOrder.updated);

print(results.packages)

You are able to page search results.

final results =  await client.search('query');
final nextResults = await results.nextPage();

print(nextResults.packages)

If you want to retrieve a specific result page you can call the page parameter directly.

final results =  await client.search('query',page:2);
print(results.packages)
