api_contract_generator 0.2.0

Annotation-based code generator for api_contract. Automatically generate API contract definitions from annotated Dart classes.

Changelog

0.2.0

Features

• Code generation from model classes: Use @ApiContractSchema annotation on Dart classes to auto-generate contracts
• Type inference: Automatically detects field types from model structure (int, String, DateTime, nested models, etc.)
• Built-in type support: Handles DateTime, Uri, Duration, BigInt, RegExp and maps them to appropriate JSON types
• ContractMode enum: Use ContractMode.strict or ContractMode.lenient instead of string values
• Field annotations: Fine-grained control with @optional and @nullable annotations
• Multiple generation modes:
  • fromModel - infers contracts from model class structure (recommended)
  • fromJson - generates from JSON with callback
  • fromJsonSchema - generates from schema map
• Nested contract support: Automatically generates contracts for referenced model classes
• Nullable type handling: Proper handling of nullable types (e.g., Profile? → profileContract, not profile?Contract)

Improvements

• Removed dependency on path-based api_contract, now uses published package ^0.2.0
• Better error messages in generated code
• Cleaner generated output with proper formatting
• Annotation priority: Explicit @optional/@nullable annotations override type inference

Bug Fixes

• Fixed nullable type name generation (removed ? from variable names)
• Fixed enum mode reading in annotation processor
• Fixed annotation priority in fromModel mode
• Fixed duplicate ContractMode enum issue

Breaking Changes

• Package renamed from http_contract_tester_generator to api_contract_generator
• Updated to work with api_contract 0.2.0 (renamed from http_contract_tester)
• ContractMode is now an enum, not a string
• Simplified annotation system - removed verbose field-level annotations in favor of model-based generation

0.1.0
