generateForAnnotatedElement method

  1. @override
String generateForAnnotatedElement(
  1. Element element,
  2. ConstantReader annotation,
  3. BuildStep buildStep
)

Implement to return source code to generate for element.

This method is invoked based on finding elements annotated with an instance of T. The annotation is provided as a ConstantReader.

Supported return values include a single String or multiple String instances within an Iterable or Stream. It is also valid to return a Future of String, Iterable, or Stream.

Implementations should return null when no content is generated. Empty or whitespace-only String instances are also ignored.

Implementation

@override
String generateForAnnotatedElement(
  Element element,
  ConstantReader annotation,
  BuildStep buildStep,
) {
  var validatable = _hydrateAnnotation(annotation);
  var createBaseClass = validatable.createDefaultsProviderBaseClass;

  try {
    return generateDefaultsProvider(element, createBaseClass);
  } catch (ex, stack) {
    print('*** Exception: $ex with stack: $stack');
    rethrow;
  }
}
