Support setting orgainzation/language preferences for `Flutter: New Project`

See original GitHub issue

The flutter create command has a number of option flags that can be set to control its output. It would be useful to be able to set those from the New Project command:

–[no-]pub
–[no-]offline
–[no-]with-driver-test
-t, --template=<type> [app (default), package, plugin]
–description
–org
-i, --ios-language [objc (default), swift]
-a, --android-language [java (default), kotlin]

Specifically org and description are ones that I never leave to their default values, and selecting a template is useful for quick-starting non-app projects.

I’ve added three new settings:

dart.flutterCreateOrganization
dart.flutterCreateIOSLanguage
dart.flutterCreateAndroidLanguage

The first is a string, the other two enums. These can be set in your user settings, and will be passed to flutter create.

I don’t think it makes sense to have description as an option since it’ll change from project to project. I’m on the fence about whether we should prompts during creation. The command was aimed at new users and I think asking them to enter a reverse domain for their company when they’re probably creating a throwaway test app makes getting started less straight forward.

I think probably we should ship just with these options for now and see if it covers most cases, and we can refine later. So, I’m gonna close this with the work I’ve done; but do feel free to open additional issues if you think we need more and we can revisit for a future release.

Hey, some thoughts:

most of the flutter create options are ~rare
a flutter create that generates the main project type captures most of the user cases
if we expose more create commands, I would say that the next candidates are a way to select the project template type to use (flutter create, flutter create --template=plugin, and flutter create --template=package) - these could be done via two additional commands. I’m not sure of the value of this over just the simplicity of a single Flutter Create command
having users create projects via the command line - if they need to use the create options - is a reasonable escape value
