Generic Enum Annotation

Introduction

This library defines annotation classes (with const constructor). These are used to annotate classes that extend GenericEnum.

GenericEnum is a base class for creating generic classes with a fixed set of static constant instances. These classes appear to the user like a Dart enum would. For example, generic enums can be used in switch statements, to initialize variables, or as default parameters in functions and constructors.

The annotations defined in this library are:

• @GenerateMap(): Requests the generation of a BuiltMap containing the enum values and static const instances.
• @GenerateJson(): Requests the generation of the methods _toJson and fromJson

Important: @GenerateJson() requires @GenerateMap() since the fromJson function uses the BuiltMap to retrieve generic enum instances based on their value.

Examples

The package generic_enum_example provides a complete example on how to define and build generic enumeration classes. As a starting point users could clone this repository, add their own generic enum classes to the folder lib and build the library.
