Cached Build Runner

Cached Build Runner is a Dart package that optimizes the build_runner by caching generated code for unchanged .dart files. This package can be used as a dev_dependency and provides a cached version of the build_runner, which caches generated files instead of generating them every time.

Usage

cached_build_runner <command> [arguments]

Usage

Global options: -h, --help Print this usage information.

Available commands:

  • build: Performs a single build on the specified targets and then exits.
  • watch: Builds the specified targets, watching the file system for updates and rebuilding as appropriate.

Available arguments:

  • -h, --help: Print out usage instructions.

  • -q, --quiet: Disables printing out logs during the build.

  • -r, --redis: Use Redis database if installed on the system. Using Redis allows multiple instance access and is ideal for usage in pipelines. The default implementation uses a file system storage (Hive), which is ideal for usage in local systems.

  • -c, --cache-directory: Provide the directory where this tool can keep the caches.

  • -p, --project-directory: Provide the directory of the project.

Cached Build Runner

Add the package to your pubspec.yaml file under dev_dependencies:

dev_dependencies:
  build_runner: ^latest_version
  cached_build_runner: ^latest_version

Please note that you have to add build_runner as a mandatory dependency in your project for cached_build_runner to work properly.

Replace latest_version with the latest available version of the package.

cached_build_runner
This library contains the CachedBuildRunner class that provides an efficient way to run build_runner build by determining the files that need code generation and generating only the required code files. It uses caching to avoid unnecessary generation builds and only generates codes for files that don't have cached versions.
