named_fields_generator

A Dart code generator for the @NamedFields annotation. It generates static field name constants, a list of all field names, and property getter maps for annotated classes.

Features

Generates a *Fields helper class for each annotated class.
Static String constants for each non-static field.
A List<String> containing all field names.
A map of property getters for easy field access at runtime.

Getting started

Add the dependency to your pubspec.yaml:

dependencies: named_fields_generator: ^0.1.0

Also add build_runner as a dev dependency (if not already):

dev_dependencies: build_runner: ^2.3.3

Usage

Source Code Setup

To use the generator, you need two things:

Import the annotation library and annotate the class with @NamedFields.
Add a part directive that points to the generated file. The generated file name will always be the same as the source file with .g.dart appended.

Example:

import 'package:named_fields_generator/annotations/annotations.dart';

part 'person.g.dart';

@NamedFields()
class Person {
  final String name;
  final int age;

  Person(this.name, this.age);
}

Running the Code Generator

Run the following command to generate the .g.dart file once:

dart run build_runner build

Or keep a watcher running to automatically regenerate files when source code changes:

dart run build_runner watch

For more details, see the build_runner documentation

Additional information

Only non-static fields are included. For issues and contributions, please open an issue or pull request on GitHub. Requires Dart SDK >= 3.9.2.
