BuildContext - Platform Extensions

Instantly check which OS your app is running on (Mobile, Desktop, or specific OS) using simple, direct context getters.

Since these getters rely on dart:io.Platform, they will throw an error when compiled for the web. Ensure you only use these methods in mobile and desktop applications.
