🖼 Lazy Asset Generator

A Flutter/Dart code generator that automatically creates strongly-typed asset access classes based on the folders you specify.
No more manually typing long asset paths or worrying about typos — this generator produces a clean, organized API for your project’s assets.

--

✨ Features

• Scans asset folders listed in your pubspec.yaml.
• Generates a strongly-typed asset context class.
• Supports single or multiple folders.
• Outputs .g.dart files using source_gen & build_runner.
• Eliminates string-based asset paths.
• Provides IDE auto-completion for all assets.

---

📦 Installation

Add the annotation and generator to your pubspec.yaml:

dependencies:
  lazy_asset_generator: ^1.3.1

dev_dependencies:
  build_runner: ^2.4.9

🧩 Usage

1. Add assets to your pubspec.yaml

  assets:
    - assets/images/
    - assets/Icons/
    - assets/Illustrations/

2. Annotate an abstract class

// asset_manager.dart

@GenerateAssets(folders: ["Icons", "images", "Illustrations"])
class AssetManager {}

3. Running the Generator

   • run in terminal

   dart run build_runner build
   

   • Or watch mode:

   dart run build_runner watch
   

then it will generate :

// asset_manager.g.dart

part of 'asset_manager.dart';

class AssetPath {
  const AssetPath._();
  static String icons(String assetName) => 'assets/Icons/$assetName';
  static String images(String assetName) => 'assets/images/$assetName';
  static String illustrations(String assetName) =>
      'assets/Illustrations/$assetName';
}

abstract class _AssetManagerContext {
  _Icons icons = _Icons();
  _Images images = _Images();
  _Illustrations illustrations = _Illustrations();
}

class _Icons {
  /// generated content
  /// example
  final String cart = AssetPath.icons("Home.png");
}

class _Images {
  // generated content
}

class _Illustrations {
  // generated content
}

4. Extend the generated context class and add part 'asset_manager.g.dart';

// asset_manager.dart

part 'asset_manager.g.dart';

@GenerateAssets(folders: ["Icons", "images", "Illustrations"])
class AssetManager extends _AssetManagerContext {}

Now you can use your assets like this:

Image.asset(AssetManager().icons.home);
