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
  ...
  1. 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 = const _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';
  }
}

  1. 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['']([], {'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['']([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);
}

  1. run pub 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 built_mirrors.example.main;

// **************************************************************************

// **************************************************************************

const someFunctionFunctionMirror = const FunctionMirror(

          type: int,
          isRequired: true,
          annotations: const [myOtherAnnotation]),
      const DeclarationMirror(name: 'p0', type: int, isRequired: true),
      const DeclarationMirror(name: 'p2', type: int, isRequired: true)
    ],
    name: 'someFunction',

  initFunctionMirrors({someFunction: someFunctionFunctionMirror});
}

and:

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

            isRequired: true,
            annotations: const [myOtherAnnotation])
      ],
      name: 'someMethod',
      returnType: dynamic,
      annotations: const [myOtherAnnotation]),
  'someMethodWithNamedParams': const FunctionMirror(

  1. 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
