Code Generation With build_runner

Generate boilerplate from annotations.

Why Generate Code

Some code is repetitive boilerplate, like JSON parsing. Code generation writes it for you from annotations, so you stay accurate and fast. ⚙️

Meet build_runner

build_runner is Dart's tool that runs code generators over your project. It reads source files, finds annotations, and emits new files.
