dent 0.1.0

Dart entity classes such as Person, Place, and Product. The classes support 'built_value' immutability and serialization.

Overview

Dent aims to give data layer for Dart developers writing ecommerce or other applications. Dent is used by Dint.

The classes are:

• Immutable. They use built_value.
• Serializable. The classes use built_value serialization.
• Database friendly. We have an integration with the package datastore. Mapping to a relational database model would be simple too.

The goal is that this package will help developers to:

• Save time. All you need to do is to connect to some database supported by the package datastore.
• Reduce defects. A data layer audited by more teams than just your own is likely to contain less defects when it comes to database modeling, programming, security, or regulatory compliance.
• Interoperability. You can take advantage of possible future open-source/commercial packages that are compatible with the data layer.
