Runtime Requirements

json_file_generator generates only json file. So there is no extra runtime requirement.

Usage

1. Add json_file_generator as a dev_dependency.
2. Run json_file_generator on your string resource ".dart" file to generate the required JSON file by running: flutter pub get then flutter pub run json_file_generator --input <string_resource.dart file> For example - flutter pub run json_file_generator --input lib/src/localization/string_resource.dart. This will generate strings.json file in the same directory as string_resource.dart file.

How to define plural strings

1. Create a const plural object as follows -

   class Plural {
    const Plural();
   }
   
   const plural = Plural();
   

2. Annotate a static const string variable with @plural annotation.
3. This will create a nested json structure as follows -

   {
       "{name} has {money} dollars": {
           "zero": "profileScreenMoneyCount",
           "one": "profileScreenMoneyCount",
           "many": "profileScreenMoneyCount",
           "other": "profileScreenMoneyCount"
       },
       "Did you know?": "didYouKnow"
   }
