Air Generator

A robust code generator for the Air Framework that automates state management and module registration.

Features

• Simplified State Generation: Annotate your class with @GenerateState and let the generator do the rest.
• Convention over Configuration:
  • Private fields (e.g., _count) automatically become StateFlows.
  • Public void or Future<void> methods automatically become Pulses.
• Type Safety: Generates typed keys and classes to avoid magic strings.
• Async Support: Automatically handles asynchronous pulses.

Installation

Add air_generator and build_runner to your dev_dependencies:

dev_dependencies:
  air_generator: ^1.0.0
  build_runner: ^2.4.0

Usage

Simple State Generation

Define your state class by extending the generated base class:

import 'package:air_generator/air_generator.dart';

part 'notifications_state.air.g.dart';

@GenerateState('notifications')
class NotificationsState extends _NotificationsState {
  NotificationsState();

  // Private fields → automatically become StateFlows
  final int _count = 0;
  final bool _isLoading = false;

  // Public void methods → automatically become Pulses
  @override
  void increment() async {
    isLoading = true;
    await Future.delayed(Duration(seconds: 1));
    isLoading = false;
    count = count + 1;
  }

  @override
  void decrement() {
    count = count - 1;
  }
}

Run the generator:

dart run build_runner build

The generator will create notifications_state.air.g.dart containing the _NotificationsState base class with all the reactive logic.

Initial Values

The generator attempts to extract initial values from field initializers. For best results, use constant or literal values.
