easy_copy_with

Code generator for automatic copyWith methods in Dart classes using the @CopyWith annotation from easy_copy_with_annotation.

Installation

dependencies:
  easy_copy_with_annotation: ^1.0.0

dev_dependencies:
  easy_copy_with: ^4.0.0
  build_runner: ^2.10.4

Quick Start

import 'package:easy_copy_with_annotation/easy_copy_with_annotation.dart';

part 'user.g.dart';

@CopyWith()
class User {
  final String name;
  final int age;
  final String? email;

  const User({required this.name, required this.age, this.email});
}

Generate code:

dart run build_runner build

Use:

final user = User(name: 'John', age: 30);
final olderUser = user.copyWith(age: 31);
final withoutEmail = user.copyWith(email: null); // nullable fields supported

Features

• Annotation-based API
• Build-time code generation (no runtime overhead)
• Supports nullable and non-nullable fields
• Supports generic type parameters
• Supports sealed classes
• Supports named constructors

Sealed Classes

@CopyWith()
sealed class Role {
  const factory Role.admin({required int adminLevel}) = Admin;
  const factory Role.userRole({required String username}) = UserRole;
  const Role._();
}

final class Admin extends Role {
  final int adminLevel;
  const Admin({required this.adminLevel}) : super._();
}

final class UserRole extends Role {
  final String username;
  const UserRole({required this.username}) : super._();
}

Migration from 3.x

1. Add easy_copy_with_annotation: ^1.0.0 to dependencies
2. Move easy_copy_with to dev_dependencies
3. Replace imports:
   • import 'package:easy_copy_with/annotations.dart' -> import 'package:easy_copy_with_annotation/easy_copy_with_annotation.dart'
   • import 'package:easy_copy_with/easy_copy_with.dart' -> import 'package:easy_copy_with_annotation/easy_copy_with_annotation.dart'
