generic_enum_builder 0.0.3

Source code generator processing annotated generic_enum classes. It builds a value-instance map and json-serialization functions.

Generic Enum Builder

Introduction

GenericEnumBuilder contains source code generating classes based on source_gen and analyzer. The provided builder can be configured to build generic enumeration classes supporting json-serialization.

Generic enumeration classes appear to the user like a Dart enum would. For example, generic enums can be used in switch statements, as annotations, to initialize variables, or as default parameters in functions and constructors.

Configuration

To use this library the following configuration steps are required:

1. Include generic_enum, generic_enum_annotation as dependency in your pubspec.yaml file. Include generic_enum_builder, source_gen, build_runner as dev_dependencies.
2. Create a class extending GenericEnum. See generic_enum#boilerplate.
3. Annotate the class with @GenerateBuiltMap and @GenerateJsonToFrom.
4. Configure the build targets. Amend the generate_for entry to point to the folder containing your generic enum classes. In your local build.yaml file add the following builders:

   targets:
     $default:
       builders:
         # Configure the builder `pkg_name|builder_name`
         generic_enum_builder|map_builder:
           # Only run this builder on the specified input.
           enabled: true
           generate_for:
             - lib/*.dart
         # Configure the builder `pkg_name|builder_name`
         generic_enum_builder|json_builder:
           # Only run this builder on the specified input.
           enabled: true
           generate_for:
             - lib/*.dart
   

Building

If you are using Flutter, build the project by running the command:

$ flutter packages pub run build_runner build --delete-conflicting-outputs

If you are using the Dart SDK use:

$ pub run build_runner build --delete-conflicting-outputs

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.
