option_set 0.0.1

A Dart package for working with option sets (i.e. bitmasks).

OptionSet

A Dart package for working with option sets (i.e. bitmasks).

Example

@option_set
enum _ImageFormat { png, jpeg, svg, gif }

// Type-safe, easy-to-read construction
ImageFormat acceptedFormats = ImageFormat.png & ImageFormat.jpeg;
print(acceptedFormats); // ImageFormat (0011): png, jpeg

// Querying
acceptedFormats.has(ImageFormat.png); // true
acceptedFormats.has(ImageFormat.gif); // false

// Negation
ImageFormat nonAcceptedFormats = ~acceptedFormats;

// ... and more!

Installation

See [https://pub.dev/packages/option-set#-installing-tab-] on how to install dart packages.

Creating an OptionSet

Automatic using build_runner

@option_set
enum _ImageFormat {
  png,
  jpeg,
  svg,
  gif
}

See Automatic Generation for how to setup auto-generation of option sets!

Manual

class ImageFormat extends OptionSet<ImageFormat> { // (1)
  const ImageFormat._(rawValue) : super(rawValue); // (2)

  // OPTIONS //
  static final png = const ImageFormat._(1 << 0); // (3)
  static final jpeg = const ImageFormat._(1 << 1);
  static final svg = const ImageFormat._(1 << 2);
  static final gif = const ImageFormat._(1 << 3);

  // COMPOUND OPTIONS
  static final rasters = png & jpeg;
  
  // CONVENIENCE OPTIONS
  static final none = const ImageFormat._(0); // (4)
  static final all = png & jpeg & svg & gif;
  
  @override
  final List<String> optionNames = const [ // (5)
    'png', 'jpeg', 'svg', 'gif'
  ];

  @override
  ImageFormat initWithRawValue(int rawValue) { // (6)
    return ImageFormat._(rawValue);
  }
}

1. Define a new class and extend OptionSet with the new class as the type parameter for OptionSet.

2. Implement a const constructor (ideally private) that calls the OptionSet constructor

3. Add the options to the class as static final values using the bitwise shift convention shown in the example.

4. (Optional) Define none and/or all options.

5. Override optionNames.

6. Override initWithRawValue.

Usage

Construction

ImageFormat acceptedFormats = ImageFormat.png;
print(acceptedFormats); // ImageFormat (0001): png

ImageFormat rasterFormats = ImageFormat.png & ImageFormat.jpeg;
print(acceptedFormats); // ImageFormat (0011): png, jpeg

Combination

acceptedFormats = acceptedFormats & ImageFormat.jpeg;
print(acceptedFormats); // ImageFormat (0011): png, jpeg

Negation

ImageFormat nonAcceptedFormats = ~acceptedFormats;
print(nonAcceptedFormats); // ImageFormat (1100): svg, gif

Querying

// Single
bool isSvgAccepted = acceptedFormats.has(ImageFormat.svg);
print(isSvgAccepted); // false

bool isPngAccepted = acceptedFormats.has(ImageFormat.png);
print(isPngAccepted); // true

// Compound
bool areBothSvgAndPngAccepted =
acceptedFormats.has(ImageFormat.svg & ImageFormat.png);
print(areBothSvgAndPngAccepted); // false

bool areBothJpegAndPngAccepted =
acceptedFormats.has(ImageFormat.jpeg & ImageFormat.png);
print(areBothJpegAndPngAccepted); // true

Toggling

// Single
acceptedFormats.toggle(ImageFormat.gif); 
print(acceptedFormats); // ImageFormat (1011): png, jpeg, gif

// Compound
acceptedFormats = acceptedFormats.toggle(ImageFormat.gif & ImageFormat.svg);
print(acceptedFormats); // ImageFormat (0111): png, jpeg, svg

Turn off

// Single
acceptedFormats = acceptedFormats.turnOff(ImageFormat.png);
print(acceptedFormats); // ImageFormat (0110): jpeg, svg

// Compound
acceptedFormats = acceptedFormats.turnOff(ImageFormat.jpeg & ImageFormat.svg);
print(acceptedFormats); // ImageFormat (0000):

Equality

OptionSet otherEmptyOptionSet = OptionSet(0);
print(acceptedFormats.rawValue == otherEmptyOptionSet.rawValue); // true
print(acceptedFormats == otherEmptyOptionSet); // fa

ImageFormat otherEmptyImageFormat = ImageFormat.none;
print(acceptedFormats == otherEmptyImageFormat); // true

Auto-generation of OptionSet

To take full advantage of this package, use the build_runner package along with the @option_set annotation to auto-generate the boilerplate code needed to extend OptionSet:

pubspec.yaml (in project root)

dependencies:
  option_set: ^0.0.1

dev_dependencies:
  build_runner: ^1.0.0
  build_verify: ^1.1.0

build.yaml (in project root)

targets:
  $default:
    builders:
      option_set|option_set:
        generate_for:
          - lib/generator_example.dart

lib/generator_example.dart

import 'package:option_set/option_set.dart';
part 'generator_example.g.dart';

@option_set
enum _ImageFormat {
  png,
  jpeg,
  svg,
  gif,
}

Terminal

cd $PROJECT_ROOT
pub run build_runner build

Configuration

If you only need a bare-bones OptionSet, then just use the @option_set annotation. However, if you want a more complex implementation, use the @Option_Set annotation!

The @Option_Set annotation takes 4 optional parameters:

@Option_Set((
  String name,
  Map<String, List<Object>> compound,
  bool includeNone,
  bool includeAll,
})

// Example
@Option_Set(
  name: 'USPSShippingOptions',
  compound: {'express': [_ShippingOptions.nextDay, _ShippingOptions.secondDay],},
  includeNone: true,
  includeAll: true
)
enum _ShippingOptions {
  nextDay,
  secondDay,
  priority,
  standard
}

name

Name to use for generated option set.

If not set, will look at annotated enum name. If the enum name starts with _, the generated option set name will be the enum name minus the leading _. Otherwise, the option set name will be the enum name with Options appended to it.

compound

Map of compound option names to a list of the enum values to use to construct the compound option.

Example:

compound: {'rasters: [_ImageFormat.png, _ImageFormat.jpeg]}

includeNone

If true, will generate a none option. Defaults to false.

includeAll

If true, will generate an all option. Defaults to false.
