🇽🇾🇿 Gen

This package contains a set of generators to help you with your Flutter projects.

It comes with a set of generators that can be used as-is, or modified to suit your needs. Some generators use templates to create files, while others use hard-coded logic to generate or modify existing files. These templates can be modified to suit your needs and can be found in the templates folder.

To create your own generators, fork this package from https://github.com/robmllze/xyz_gen and customize it as needed or use this package as a dependency in your own package.

Getting Started

Installation

If you are only interested in using the existing generators, there's no need to include this package, but you'll need to include the annotations package by modifying your pubspec.yaml file:

dependencies:
  xyz_gen_annotations: any  # or the latest version

If you want to use the tools included in this package to create your own generators package, you can include it like so:

dependencies:
  xyz_gen: any # or the latest version

Next Steps

1. Clone the Generator Scripts:

Navigate to your project directory by running cd your/project/path in your terminal. Then clone the generator scripts repository:

On macOS and Linux:

rm -rf ___generators/
git clone https://github.com/robmllze/___generators.git
dart pub get -C ___generators

On Windows:

rmdir /s /q ___generators/
git clone https://github.com/robmllze/___generators.git
dart pub get -C ___generators
rmdir /s /q ___generators/.git

This will clone the generator scripts into your project directory and remove the .git directory, effectively detaching it from version control so that you can modify it as needed.

2. Modify the Generators as Needed:

Once cloned, you can modify the generator scripts or templates according to your project requirements.

3. Run the Generator Scripts:

Execute any of the generator scripts from the root of your project directory:

dart ___generators/generate_models.dart

Replace generate_models.dart with the specific generator you wish to run, for example, dart generate_exports.dart.

4. Enhance Workflow Efficiency with VS Code Extensions:

You can also install the xyz-run-script extension to run the generators with a right click or use the xyz-run-tasks extension to run the generators via the explorer menu.
