generates `ClassMirror` from classes annotated with `@reflectable` or `@Reflectable()`

built_mirrors #

Build
Status

This is a library that generates ClassMirror from classes annotated with @reflectable or @Reflectable().

Getting Started #

1 - Create a new dart-web project. 2 - add built_mirrors dependency to your pubspec.yaml.

...
dependencies:
#  ...
  # replace for the latest version
  built_mirrors: any
#  ...
dev_dependencies:
#  ...
  # replace for the latest version
  built_runner: any
#  ...

3 - create a file in bin folder called models.dart and put next code on it:

library built_mirrors.example.models;

import 'package:built_mirrors/built_mirrors.dart';

part 'models.g.dart';

class MyAnnotation extends Annotation {
  final String val1;
  final val2;
  const MyAnnotation(this.val1, {this.val2});
}

const myOtherAnnotation = _MyOtherAnnotation();
class _MyOtherAnnotation extends Annotation {
  const _MyOtherAnnotation();
}

@reflectable
class Person {
  Person({this.id, this.name, this.myDynamic, this.cars});
  int? id;
  @MyAnnotation('hello\uabcd', val2: null)
  String? name;
  var myDynamic;
  List<Car>? cars;

  String get myGetter => 'myGetter result';
  set mySetter(String val) => 'setting $val';
}

@reflectable
@myOtherAnnotation
class Car {
  int? id;
  @MyAnnotation(r'\uabcd', val2: null)
  String? engine;
  Car([this.id, this.engine]);
}

@reflectable
class EmptyClass {

}

@reflectable
class ExtendedPerson extends Person {
  var extendedName;
  var otherExtended;
}

@reflectable
class ClassWithMethod {

  @myOtherAnnotation
  someMethod(@myOtherAnnotation String someParameter) {
    return 'someMethod';
  }

  @myOtherAnnotation
  someMethodWithNamedParams({@myOtherAnnotation String? someParameter}) {
    return 'someMethod';
  }
}

4 - edit the file main.dart in the folder bin and put next code on it:

library built_mirrors.example.main;

import 'models.dart';
import 'package:built_mirrors/built_mirrors.dart';

part 'main.g.dart';

@reflectable
@AnnotationWithFunction(otherFunction)
String someFunction(@myOtherAnnotation int p1, int p0, int p2) {
  return '';
}

otherFunction() {}

class AnnotationWithFunction extends Annotation {
  const AnnotationWithFunction(this.function);

  final Function function;
}

main() {

  // Initializes the mirrors map
  _initMirrors();

  // Gets the PersonClassMirror
  var personClassMirror = reflectType(Person);
  // and then constructs a new person using a map with the
  // needed parameters for the constructor
  var p1 = personClassMirror?.constructors?['']?.call([], {'id': 1, 'name': 'person 1'});
  // Get the list of DeclarationMirror corresponding to the fields of Person class
  var p1Fields = personClassMirror?.fields;

  // prints: `p1Fields['myDynamic'].type: dynamic}\n` in the `result` element
  print("p1Fields['myDynamic'].type: ${p1Fields?['myDynamic']?.type}\n");
  // prints: `p1Fields['cars'].type: [List, Car]}\n` in the `result` element
  print("p1Fields['cars'].type: ${p1Fields?['cars']?.type}\n");

  // Gets the CarClassMirror and constructs a new car using the default constructor
  // passing a map containing the required parameters
  Car car1 = reflectType(Car)?.constructors?['']?.call([1, 'v8']);
  /* prints:
      car1:
        id: 1
        engine: v8
   */
  print('car1:\n\tid: ${car1.id}\n\tengine: ${car1.engine}\n');

  // adds car1 to p1.cars
  p1.cars = [car1];

  print('\n--------------------------');
  print('reflecting "ClassWithMethod"');
  print('--------------------------');
  var methods = reflectType(ClassWithMethod)?.methods;
  print(methods?.keys); // prints: 'someFunction'
  print(methods?['someMethod']?.returnType); // prints: String
  print(methods?['someMethod']?.annotations); // prints: [Instance of '_MyOtherAnnotation']
  print(methods?['someMethod']?.positionalParameters); // prints: {p1: Instance of 'DeclarationMirror'}
  print(methods?['someMethod']?.positionalParameters?[0].annotations); // prints: [Instance of '_MyOtherAnnotation']
  print(methods?['someMethod']?.positionalParameters?[0].type); // prints: int

  print('\n--------------------------');
  print('reflecting "someFunction"');
  print('--------------------------');
  var sfMirror = reflectFunction(someFunction);
  print(sfMirror?.name); // prints: '(someMethod)'
  print(sfMirror?.returnType); // prints: dynamic
  print(sfMirror?.annotations); // prints: [Instance of '_MyOtherAnnotation']
  print(sfMirror?.positionalParameters); // prints: {someParameter: Instance of 'DeclarationMirror'}
  print(sfMirror?.positionalParameters?[0].annotations); // prints: [Instance of '_MyOtherAnnotation']
  print(sfMirror?.positionalParameters?[0].type); // prints: String
  print(sfMirror?.positionalParameters?[0].name);
  print(sfMirror?.positionalParameters?[1].name);
  print(sfMirror?.positionalParameters?[2].name);
}

5 - run dart run build_runner build. Then you will see that the files bin/models.g.dart and bin/main.g.dart have been generated and they will contain the next code:

// GENERATED CODE - DO NOT MODIFY BY HAND

part of 'main.dart';

// **************************************************************************
// MirrorsGenerator
// **************************************************************************

const someFunctionFunctionMirror = FunctionMirror(
    positionalParameters: [
      DeclarationMirror(
          name: 'p1',
          type: int,
          isRequired: true,
          annotations: [myOtherAnnotation]),
      DeclarationMirror(name: 'p0', type: int, isRequired: true),
      DeclarationMirror(name: 'p2', type: int, isRequired: true)
    ],
    name: 'someFunction',
    returnType: String,
    annotations: [AnnotationWithFunction(otherFunction)]);

// **************************************************************************
// InitMirrorsGenerator
// **************************************************************************

_initMirrors() {
  initClassMirrors({
    Person: PersonClassMirror,
    Car: CarClassMirror,
    EmptyClass: EmptyClassClassMirror,
    ExtendedPerson: ExtendedPersonClassMirror,
    ClassWithMethod: ClassWithMethodClassMirror
  });
  initFunctionMirrors({someFunction: someFunctionFunctionMirror});
}

and:

_Person__Constructor([positionalParams, namedParams]) => Person(

const EmptyClassClassMirror = ClassMirror(name: 'EmptyClass', constructors: {

_ExtendedPerson__Constructor([positionalParams, namedParams]) =>

      'cars': $$Person_fields_cars,
      'myGetter': $$Person_fields_myGetter,
      'mySetter': $$Person_fields_mySetter
    },
    getters: [
      'extendedName',
      'otherExtended',
      'id',
      'name',
      'myDynamic',
      'cars',
      'myGetter'
    ],
    setters: [
      'extendedName',
      'otherExtended',
      'id',
      'name',
      'myDynamic',
      'cars',
      'mySetter'
    ],
    superclass: Person);

_ClassWithMethod__Constructor([positionalParams, namedParams]) =>
    ClassWithMethod();

const ClassWithMethodClassMirror =
    ClassMirror(name: 'ClassWithMethod', constructors: {
  '': FunctionMirror(name: '', $call: _ClassWithMethod__Constructor)
}, methods: {
  'someMethod': FunctionMirror(
      positionalParameters: [
        DeclarationMirror(
            name: 'someParameter',
            type: String,
            isRequired: true,
            annotations: [myOtherAnnotation])
      ],
      name: 'someMethod',
      returnType: dynamic,
      annotations: [myOtherAnnotation]),
  'someMethodWithNamedParams': FunctionMirror(
      namedParameters: {
        'someParameter': DeclarationMirror(
            name: 'someParameter',
            type: String,
            isNamed: true,
            annotations: [myOtherAnnotation])
      },
      name: 'someMethodWithNamedParams',
      returnType: dynamic,
      annotations: [myOtherAnnotation])
});

6 - Finally you can run the file bin/main.dart and if everything is ok you will see next output in console:

p1Fields['myDynamic'].type: dynamic p1Fields['cars'].type: [List, Car] car1: id: 1 engine: v8 -------------------------- reflecting "ClassWithMethod" -------------------------- (someMethod, someMethodWithNamedParams) dynamic [Instance of '_MyOtherAnnotation'] [DeclarationMirror on someParameter] [Instance of '_MyOtherAnnotation'] String -------------------------- reflecting "someFunction" -------------------------- someFunction String [Instance of 'AnnotationWithFunction'] [DeclarationMirror on p1, DeclarationMirror on p0, DeclarationMirror on p2] [Instance of '_MyOtherAnnotation'] int p1 p0 p2</programlisting>
