easy_enum_generator

Description:

easy enum generator

Provides Dart Build System builder for generating EasyEnum extensions for classes annotated with easy_enum.


Usage #
In your pubspec.yaml file:

Add to dependencies section easy_enum: ^1.0.0
Add to dev_dependencies section easy_enum_generator: ^2.0.1
Add to dev_dependencies section build_runner: ^2.1.4
Set environment to at least Dart 2.13.0 version like so: ">=2.13.0 <3.0.0"

Your pubspec.yaml should look like so:
name: project_name
description: project description
version: 1.0.0

environment:
sdk: ">=2.13.0 <3.0.0"

dependencies:
...
easy_enum: ^1.0.0

dev_dependencies:
...
build_runner: ^2.1.4
easy_enum_generator: ^2.0.1
copied to clipboard
Annotate your class with EasyEnum annotation:
import 'package:easy_enum/easy_enum.dart';

part 'basic_class.g.dart';

@EasyEnum()
enum SimpleState { play, paused, stopped }

@EasyEnum(toValue: 'theValue', toEnum: 'theRating')
enum SomeRating { none, dislike, like }

class BasicClass {
...
}
copied to clipboard
Make sure that you set the part file as in the example above part 'your_file_name.g.dart';.
Launch code generation:
flutter pub run build_runner build
copied to clipboard
The extension will be generated:
// GENERATED CODE - DO NOT MODIFY BY HAND

part of 'basic_class.dart';

// **************************************************************************
// EasyEnumGenerator
// **************************************************************************

extension SimpleStateExt on SimpleState {
String get value => ['play', 'paused', 'stopped'][index];
}

extension SimpleStateTxe on String {
SimpleState? get simpleState => {
'play': SimpleState.play,
'paused': SimpleState.paused,
'stopped': SimpleState.stopped,
}[this];
}

extension SomeRatingExt on SomeRating {
String get theValue => ['none', 'dislike', 'like'][index];
}

extension SomeRatingTxe on String {
SomeRating? get theRating => {
'none': SomeRating.none,
'dislike': SomeRating.dislike,
'like': SomeRating.like,
}[this];
}
copied to clipboard
Now the code that previously would have looked like this:
String getStringFromSimpleState(SimpleSate simple) {
switch (simple) {
case SimpleSate.play: return 'play';
case SimpleSate.paused: return 'paused';
case SimpleSate.stopped: return 'stopped';
}
}
...
var someVar = getStringFromSimpleState(SimpleSate.paused);

print('$someVar');
...
copied to clipboard
Gets simplified to:
...
print(SimpleSate.paused.value);
...
copied to clipboard
In addtion, you can turn a string into its associated enum:
String someVal = getStatusFromApi(); //returns the string 'paused'

if ( someVal.simpleState == SimpleState.paused ) {
...
}
copied to clipboard
Additional features #
Alternate getter names
By default you can get the string representation of your enum using the value getter and get the enum representation to the string by
using the camelCase name of the enum, ex. with "enum SimpleState ..." the enum is retrieved with "myString.simpleState".
If you want to change the getter names for retrieving the related enum values you can add parameters to the annotation like this:
@EasyEnum(toValue: 'theValue', toEnum: 'theState')
enum SimpleState { play, paused, stopped }
copied to clipboard
Now the getter methods have been altered allowing retrieval with:
print(SimpleSate.paused.theValue);

print('paused'.theState == SimpleState.paused);
