relax_orm_generator 1.0.1

Code generator for relax_orm — generates TableSchema from annotated classes.

RelaxORM Generator

Code generator for relax_orm. Generates TableSchema definitions from annotated Dart classes.

Setup

dependencies:
  relax_orm: ^1.1.0

dev_dependencies:
  relax_orm_generator: ^1.0.0
  build_runner: ^2.4.0

Usage

Annotate your model classes with @RelaxTable():

import 'package:relax_orm/relax_orm.dart';

part 'user.g.dart';

@RelaxTable()
class User {
  @PrimaryKey()
  final String id;
  final String name;
  final int age;
  final DateTime createdAt;

  User({required this.id, required this.name, required this.age, required this.createdAt});
}

Run the generator:

dart run build_runner build     # or: dart run relax_orm

This generates user.g.dart:

final userSchema = TableSchema<User>(
  tableName: 'users',
  columns: [
    ColumnDef.text('id', isPrimaryKey: true),
    ColumnDef.text('name'),
    ColumnDef.integer('age'),
    ColumnDef.dateTime('created_at'),
  ],
  fromMap: (map) => User(
    id: map['id'] as String,
    name: map['name'] as String,
    age: map['age'] as int,
    createdAt: map['created_at'] as DateTime,
  ),
  toMap: (entity) => {
    'id': entity.id,
    'name': entity.name,
    'age': entity.age,
    'created_at': entity.createdAt,
  },
);

Seeders

The generator can also emit a TableSeeder per model, filling the table with deterministic fake data. It is off by default; turn it on for the whole project with the CLI flag:

dart run relax_orm --seed                    # every @RelaxTable model
dart run relax_orm --seed --seed-count=25    # 25 rows instead of 10

…which is shorthand for a build_runner define:

dart run build_runner build \
  --define="relax_orm_generator:relax_orm=seed=true"

Or set it permanently in build.yaml:

targets:
  $default:
    builders:
      relax_orm_generator:relax_orm:
        options:
          seed: true
          seed_count: 25

Per model, @RelaxSeed() wins over both — it generates a seeder without any flag, and @RelaxSeed(enabled: false) opts a model out despite one:

@RelaxTable()
@RelaxSeed(count: 25, order: 1)
class User { ... }

For User, this generates:

class UserSeeder extends TableSeeder<User> {
  @override
  String get tableName => 'users';

  @override
  int get defaultCount => 25;

  @override
  int get defaultOrder => 1;

  @override
  User buildOne(int index, SeedFaker faker) => User(
        id: faker.uuid(),
        name: faker.fullName(),
        age: faker.integer(min: 18, max: 80),
        createdAt: faker.pastDateTime(),
      );
}

The faker call comes from the column type and its name (email → an address, price → money-shaped numbers, created_at → a past date). Nested models and List<T> fields are walked recursively; nullable columns get faker.maybe(...).

Running the seeders is relax_orm's job — see its Seeding docs.

Annotations

Annotation	Effect
@RelaxTable()	Generates a schema for the class
@RelaxTable(name: 'custom')	Custom table name
@PrimaryKey()	Marks the primary key
@Column(name: 'col')	Custom column name
@Ignore()	Excludes a field
@RelaxSeed()	Also generates a TableSeeder for the class
@RelaxSeed(count: 25, order: 1)	Rows to generate, and run order
@RelaxSeed(enabled: false)	Never generate a seeder, even with --seed

Naming conventions

• Table names: User -> users, BlogPost -> blog_posts
• Column names: createdAt -> created_at, firstName -> first_name

Override with @RelaxTable(name: ...) or @Column(name: ...).

Supported types

String, int, double, bool, DateTime, Uint8List (and nullable variants).
