auto_factory 0.1.0-dev.1

Compile time factory generator

Compile ime factories, implmented using source_gen package, so that it works in every platform. The advantages of this approach are are performance (no reflection needed) and full debuggability, as the generated sources are easy to read and well formatted. The development principle is to keep it simple, so only the basics features are implemented.

Install

To use this package, add auto_factory and build_runner as a dependency in your pubspec.yaml file.

Then, run pub run build_runner build to generate the part files.

Create a factory

To make a class part of the dependecy tree annotate the class with the @Component() annotation. The library satisfies the dependency by creating a new instance and injecting to the default constructor the required dependencies.

Note that the injection will work only on default constructor with positional arguments.

import 'package:auto_factory/annotations.dart';

@AutoFactory()
class Component {
  final OtherDependency dep;

  Component(OtherDependency this.dep);
}

/// in another program section:
 final component = ComponentFactory().get();

component.doSomething();

Caching factories

Using the @CachingFactory() annotation has the same effect as @AutoFactory() except that the instance is only created the first time. Then the same instance is returned every time
