pvtro 0.9.0

CLI tool for coordinating slang translations across Flutter packages.

example/example.md

Examples

This directory contains two end-to-end fixtures that show how PVTRO discovers slang translation layers across a package graph and generates a single integration file for the root app.

Use this document as the entry point, then open the fixture-specific READMEs for the exact package layout and commands.

What PVTRO Does In These Examples

For each example, PVTRO runs from the root app and:

1. reads the root package graph from .dart_tool/package_config.json
2. finds packages that expose a generated slang layer under lib/
3. orders them with the root package first and dependencies after that
4. generates lib/pvtro.g.dart in the root app
5. emits:
   • pvtroWrapper({required Widget child})
   • pvtroSyncPackageLocales(String rawLocale)

The generated wrapper nests each package's TranslationProvider in discovery order. The locale sync helper forwards LocaleSettings.setLocaleRaw(rawLocale) to every discovered package.

If no translation layer is found, PVTRO does nothing.

Included Fixtures

integration_check_1

See integration_check_1/README.md.

This is the lightweight fixture.

• Uses checked-in stub translation files.
• Has no pvtro.yaml, so both entrypoints use the default output path.
• Good for verifying package discovery and output shape quickly.

Expected generated file:

• lib/pvtro.g.dart

integration_check_2

See integration_check_2/README.md.

This is the real fixture.

• Uses actual slang.yaml plus locale JSON inputs.
• Uses real dart run slang outputs in all three packages.
• Includes pvtro.yaml with a custom copied output target.
• Good for validating the real dual-mode contract.

Expected generated files:

• lib/pvtro.g.dart
• lib/generated/pvtro_wrapper.g.dart

How The Graph Is Structured

Both fixtures model the same dependency chain:

1. Root app
2. Direct path dependency with its own slang layer
3. Nested path dependency under that package with its own slang layer

That means the generated wrapper should compose three TranslationProviders, and the sync helper should call LocaleSettings.setLocaleRaw three times.

How To Run An Example

From the fixture root:

flutter pub get
dart run pvtro --verbose
dart run build_runner build --delete-conflicting-outputs

For integration_check_2, regenerate the slang outputs in each package first, as described in its local README.

Output Behavior

Both fixtures demonstrate the same core behavior:

• dart run pvtro and dart run build_runner build share the same discovery logic
• the canonical generated artifact is always lib/pvtro.g.dart
• if pvtro.yaml sets a different output, PVTRO also writes a copy to that configured path

In practice:

• integration_check_1 shows the default-path flow
• integration_check_2 shows the canonical-plus-copy flow

What To Inspect After Generation

Open the generated root file and confirm these points:

1. all imports use package: paths with POSIX separators
2. the root app provider is the outermost TranslationProvider
3. nested package providers appear inside it in dependency order
4. pvtroSyncPackageLocales includes one call per discovered package

If one of those conditions is wrong, the example has exposed a regression in discovery or generation.
