Cloud Syncable Code Generator

Overview

cloud_syncable_code_gen is a powerful code generation tool designed to work seamlessly with the CloudSyncable framework. It automates the creation of boilerplate code for models, repositories, BLoCs, and sync services, significantly reducing development time and ensuring consistency across your project.

Purpose

The main goals of this package are to:

1. Streamline the process of creating CloudSyncable-compatible models.
2. Ensure consistency in the implementation of repositories, BLoCs, and sync services.
3. Reduce boilerplate code and potential human errors.
4. Facilitate rapid development and easy maintenance of CloudSyncable-based applications.

Key Features

• Generates model classes that extend CloudSyncable.
• Creates local and remote repository implementations.
• Produces BLoC classes with CloudSyncable integration.
• Generates sync services tailored to each model.
• Provides a centralized export file for easy importing.

How It Works

1. YAML Definition: Developers define their models in YAML files, specifying fields, types, and other metadata.

2. Code Generation: The package reads these YAML files and generates corresponding Dart files:

   • Model class
   • Local repository
   • Remote repository
   • BLoC
   • Sync service
   • Export file

3. Build Runner Integration: The generator integrates with Flutter's build_runner, allowing easy code generation and updates.

Usage

1. Add cloud_syncable_code_gen to your pubspec.yaml as a dev dependency.

2. Create a YAML file for your model (e.g., lib/models/task.yaml) with the model definition.

3. Run the code generator using flutter pub run build_runner build.

4. The generator will create the necessary files in lib/models/task/.

Customization

The generator provides several extension points for customization:

• Model Class Generator: Customize the generation of model classes.
• Repository Generators: Adjust the creation of local and remote repositories.
• BLoC Generator: Modify the structure of generated BLoC classes.
• Sync Service Generator: Tailor the sync service generation to your needs.

Benefits

• Time-saving: Significantly reduces the time needed to set up CloudSyncable models and related classes.
• Consistency: Ensures all generated code follows the same patterns and best practices.
• Reduced Errors: Minimizes the chance of human errors in repetitive code structures.
• Easy Updates: Allows for quick updates to all related files by modifying the YAML definition.

Conclusion

cloud_syncable_code_gen is an essential tool for developers working with the CloudSyncable framework. By automating the creation of boilerplate code, it allows developers to focus on business logic and unique features of their application, rather than repetitive setup tasks.
