{
  "id": 1,
  "name": "Alice",
  "active": true,
  "bio": null
}

Output (user_model.dart)

import 'package:freezed_annotation/freezed_annotation.dart';

part 'user_model.freezed.dart';
part 'user_model.g.dart';

@freezed
class UserModel with _$UserModel {
  const factory UserModel({
    int? id,
    String? name,
    bool? active,
    String? bio,
  }) = _UserModel;

  factory UserModel.fromJson(Map<String, dynamic> json) =>
      _$UserModelFromJson(json);
}

⚠️ Notes

• ✅ Input must be raw JSON only (not Dart code).
• 📄 If the input is a .dart file, you'll receive a warning.
• 💳 Class names are validated to ensure PascalCase formatting.
• 📌 Output paths ending in .json will be renamed to .dart automatically.
