angel3_serialize_generator 10.0.0

Angel3 model serialization generators, designed for use with Angel. Combine with angel_serialize for flexible modeling.

Angel3 Serialize Generator

The builder for generating JSON serialization code for Angel3 framework.

Installation

In your pubspec.yaml:

dependencies:
  angel3_serialize: ^10.0.0
dev_dependencies:
  angel3_serialize_generator: ^10.0.0
  build_runner: ^2.4.0

Usage

1. Create a model class in todo.dart and annotate it with @serializable and append Entity suffix to the class name.

       import 'package:angel3_serialize/angel3_serialize.dart';
       part 'todo.g.dart';
   
       @serializable
       class TodoEntity {
           String? text;
           bool? completed;
       }
   

2. Run the following command to generate the associated todo.g.dart file for serialization.

       dart run build_runner build
   

   The generated class is named without the Entity suffix (or a _ prefix): Todo, with TodoSerializer, TodoFields and a todoSerializer codec. A class whose name only ends with the letters of the suffix, such as UserIdentity, keeps its name.

Migrating from 9.x to 10.0.0

The breaking changes of each release are listed in the CHANGELOG. Those of 10.0.0 that may need changes in an app:

• Regenerate your models with dart run build_runner build --delete-conflicting-outputs: generated hashCode getters use Object.hashAll instead of hashObjects.
• Class names: a generated class is named by removing a prefix (_, Entity), then a suffix (Entity), matched by case, so UserIdentity keeps its name, where it became UserId.
• includeAnnotations: a value that is not a constant instance of a class or enum fails the build.
• Code that uses the generator's API: SerializableFieldMirror.serializer and deserializer are the names of functions, as Strings, where they were Symbols.
