Generator methods for mapify package

A flutter plugin for mapping objects

This library helps mapping similar objects to eachother.

While implementing clean architecture principles significantly improves code maintenability and readability you might find yourself repeating class structures over several layers.

This library generates extensions based on the original input object to the desired output, and automatically resolves matching fields.

Usage

Let's consider the following input object:

class Account {
  final String id;
  final List<String> activeMemberIds;
  final List<Member> members;

  const Account({
    required this.id,
    required this.activeMemberIds,
    required this.members,
  });
}

We have the following output objects in other packages of our main app:

class AccountEntity {
  final String id;
  final List<String> activeMemberIds;
  final List<Member> members;

  const AccountEntity({
    required this.id,
    required this.activeMemberIds,
    required this.members,
  });
}

class AccountDto {
  final String id;
  final List<String> activeMemberIds;
  final List<MemberDto> members;

  const AccountDto({
    required this.id,
    required this.activeMemberIds,
    required this.members,
  });
}

To generate the required mapping, we define a new dart file, and put the following code:

import 'package:example_api/example_api.dart';
import 'package:example_core/example_core.dart';
import 'package:mapify/mapify.dart';

/// Add child mapper files if there are dependencies
import 'member.dart';

part 'account.g.dart';

@GenerateMapping(
  outputType: [
    AccountDto,
    AccountEntity,
  ],
  inputType: Account,
)
class AccountMapper extends MappingManager<Account> {
  AccountMapper(super.input);
}

Now run the build_runner: flutter pub run build_runner build --delete-conflicting-outputs in the project that includes the account mapper, and the mapping will be generated
