Dart Data Class Plugin

Usage

This plugin is created for those who would like to have extra data manipulation methods in their data classes without having to write boilerplate code.

ScreenShot

This plugin can generate the following code:

  • Named Argument Constructor
  • copyWith: copies the instance and overrides the given parameters
  • toMap: converts your class into a map of Map<String, dynamic>
  • fromMap: constructs your class from a Map<String, dynamic> using the named argument constructor
  • all of the above with toString, equals (== operator), hashcode

Example

Let's say you have a class called Person with the properties:

class Person {
  final int id;
  final String _firstName, _lastName;
  final int age;
  int? income;

  String get name => _firstName + " " + _lastName;
}

Using all generators of this plugin and selecting all properties, this class will look like the following.

(Note that some features of this generation can be customized, see details below.)

class Person {
  final int id;
  final String _firstName, _lastName;
  final int age;
  int? income;

  String get name => _firstName + " " + _lastName;

//<editor-fold desc="Data Methods">

  Person({
    required this.id,
    required this.age,
    this.income,
    required String firstName,
    required String lastName,
  })  : _firstName = firstName,
        _lastName = lastName;

  @override
  bool operator ==(Object other) =>
      identical(this, other) ||
      (other is Person &&
          runtimeType == other.runtimeType &&
          id == other.id &&
          _firstName == other._firstName &&
          _lastName == other._lastName &&
          age == other.age &&
          income == other.income);

  @override
  int get hashCode =>
      id.hashCode ^
      _firstName.hashCode ^
      _lastName.hashCode ^
      age.hashCode ^
      income.hashCode;

  @override
  String toString() {
    return 'Person{' +
        ' id: $id,' +
        ' _firstName: $_firstName,' +
        ' _lastName: $_lastName,' +
        ' age: $age,' +
        ' income: $income,' +
        '}';
  }

  Person copyWith({
    int? id,
    String? firstName,
    String? lastName,
    int? age,
    int? income,
  }) {
    return Person(
      id: id ?? this.id,
      firstName: firstName ?? this._firstName,
      lastName: lastName ?? this._lastName,
      age: age ?? this.age,
      income: income ?? this.income,
    );
  }

  Map<String, dynamic> toMap() {
    return {
      'id': this.id,
      '_firstName': this._firstName,
      '_lastName': this._lastName,
      'age': this.age,
      'income': this.income,
    };
  }

  factory Person.fromMap(Map<String, dynamic> map) {
    return Person(
      id: map['id'] as int,
      firstName: map['_firstName'] as String,
      lastName: map['_lastName'] as String,
      age: map['age'] as int,
      income: map['income'] as int?,
    );
  }

//</editor-fold>
}

Settings

ScreenShot

You can find additional settings under Settings > Editor > Dart Data Class Plugin where you have the following customization options:

  • set the name of the copy method
  • use @required annotation
  • use new keyword when instantiation
  • use the const keyword for the constructor generation - all fields in the class have to be final
  • copy function can be specified to return the same instance. This Option has the same requirement as the const keyword. Useful when using Dart in a Redux architecture.
  • key mapper for toMap and fromMap - use your own logic to transform the keys to their original values - useful when database result returns prefixed or uppercased result

Under the hood

This project is built using Kotlin and makes use of IntelliJ's PSI elements for extracting the structure of the Dart file of your selection.

Known issues

  • If the class ends with a single-line comment, code is generated from an invalid location
