frx_generator 1.0.0+1

Code generator for frx_annotation package that generates pattern matching methods for union types in Dart

frx_generator

Code generator for the frx_annotation package that generates pattern matching methods for union types in Dart.

Features

• Generates extension methods for sealed classes
• Supports pattern matching with when, maybeWhen, and whenOrNull
• Generates type-safe mapping methods (map, maybeMap, mapOrNull)
• Full support for Dart 3.0 pattern matching syntax

Installation

Add these dependencies to your package's pubspec.yaml file:

dependencies:
  frx_annotation: ^1.0.0

dev_dependencies:
  build_runner: ^2.4.0
  frx_generator: ^1.0.0

Usage

1. Import and use the @frx annotation from frx_annotation:

import 'package:frx_annotation/frx_annotation.dart';

part 'my_union.frx.g.dart';

@frx
sealed class Result {
  const Result();
}

final class Success extends Result {
  final String value;
  const Success(this.value);
}

final class Error extends Result {
  const Error();
}

2. Run the generator:

dart run build_runner build

Generated API

The generator will create extension methods for pattern matching:

// Example usage of generated code
void example(Result result) {
  final message = result.when(
    success: (value) => 'Success: $value',
    error: () => 'Error occurred',
  );
  
  final maybeMessage = result.maybeWhen(
    success: (value) => 'Success: $value',
    orElse: () => 'Other case',
  );
}
