Installation

on pubspec.yaml

dev_dependencies:
  json_to_model: ^3.0.1
  quiver: ^3.0.1+1

install using pub get command or if you using dart vscode/android studio, you can use install option.

What does this library do

Command line tool to convert .json files into immutable .dart models.

Get started

The command will run through your json files and find possible type, variable name, import uri, decorator and class name, and will write it into the templates.

Create/copy .json files into ./jsons/(default) on root of your project, and run flutter pub run json_to_model.

Examples

Input Consider this files named product.json and employee.json

product.json

{
  "id": "123",
  "caseId?": "123",
  "startDate?": "2020-08-08",
  "endDate?": "2020-10-10",
  "placementDescription?": "Description string"
}

eployee.json

{
  "id": "123",
  "displayName?": "Jan Jansen",
  "@ignore products?": "$[]product"
}

Output This will generate this product.dart and employee.dart

product.dart

    && displayName == other.displayName
    && products == other.products;

  @override

Input Consider this file named location.json

    "point?": {

Getting started

1. Create a directory jsons(default) at root of your project
2. Put all or Create json files inside jsons directory
3. run pub run json_to_model. or flutter packages pub run json_to_model flutter project

Usage

this package will read .json file, and generate .dart file, asign the type of the value as variable type and key as the variable name.

Description	Expression	Input (Example)	Output(declaration)	Output(import)
declare type depends on the json value	{...:any type}	{"id": 1, "message":"hello world"},	int id; String message;
import model and asign type	{...:"$value"}	{"auth":"$user"}	User auth;	import 'user.dart'
import from path	{...:"$pathto/value"}	{"price":"$product/price"}	Price price;	import '../product/price.dart'
asign list of type and import (can also be recursive)	{...:"$[]value"}	{"addreses":"$[]address"}	List<Address> addreses;	import 'address.dart'
import other library(input value can be array)	{"@import":...}	{"@import":"package:otherlibrary/otherlibrary.dart"}		import 'package:otherlibrary/otherlibrary.dart'
Datetime type	{...:"@datetime"}	{"createdAt": "@datetime:2020-02-15T15:47:51.742Z"}	DateTime createdAt;
Enum type	{...:"@enum:(folowed by enum separated by ',')"}	{"@import":"@enum:admin,app_user,normal"}	enum UserTypeEnum { Admin, AppUser, Normal }
Enum type with values {...:"@enum:(folowed by enum separated by ',')"}	{"@import":"@enum:admin(0),app_user(1),normal(2)"}	enum UserTypeEnum { Admin, AppUser, Normal }
