Usage

squadron_builder is a companion package to Squadron and is intended to be installed as a development dependency to your project.

Its purpose is to generate the code for Workers and WorkerPools based on the service classes you want to run in dedicated threads.

Example of a service class:

// this annotation tells squadron_builder that this class contains code to be executed on dedicated threads
@SquadronService(baseUrl: '~/workers', targetPlatform: TargetPlatform.vm | TargetPlatform.web)
base class HelloWorld {
  // this annotation tells squadron_builder that this method is exposed to clients running in the main thread for instance
  @SquadronMethod()
  FutureOr<String> hello([String? name]) {
    name = name?.trim() ?? 'World';
    return 'Hello, $name!';
  }
}
