Remove Transformer

A simple dart transformer that removes content from files when building in release mode.

Usage

Add the dependency and transformer to your pubspec.yaml:

dev_dependencies:
    remove: ^1.0.0
 
transformers:
- remove

The order of the transformers determines the order they are run so remove will most likely need to be toward the top. The transformer only runs in release mode.

The transformer will remove content from files when it comes across the following strings.

• remove:line - removes the entire line
• remove:start / remove:end - removes all lines from remove:start to remove:end including the entirety of the start and end lines

Examples

Remove a line

Debug content // remove:line
Hello World

Remove a block

// remove:start
Some
long
multiline
debug content
//remove:end
 
Hello World

The following is an identical representation.

Some // remove:start
long
multiline
debug content //remove:end
 
Hello World

Change variables

// remove:start
String mode = 'debug';
String greeting = 'Hello World';
// remove:end
 
/* remove:line
String mode = 'release';
String greeting = 'Hello';
remove:line */

or

// remove:start
String mode = 'debug';
String greeting = 'Hello World';
/* remove:end
String mode = 'release';
String greeting = 'Hello';
remove:line */

In debug mode mode and greeting will have the values 'debug' and 'Hello World'. In release mode mode and greeting will have the values 'release' and 'Hello'.
