dart_mappable_builder 3.1.1

Improved json serialization and data classes with full support for generics, inheritance, customization and more.

3.1.1

• Fixed supporting expressions in @MappableClass.includeCustomMappers.

3.1.0

• Fixed error when using non-literal values in @MappableValue().

• The builder now respects basic initializer expressions of a constructor. This makes it possible to do field renaming or assigning to private fields without requiring an additional getter matching the parameter.

  The following is now supported out of the box:

  class MyClass {
    MyClass(int value, {String? name}) 
        // Effectively renaming 'value' to 'data'.
      : data = value,
        // Assigning to a private field + having a null fallback.
        _name = name ?? 'Unnamed';
  
    final int value;
    final String _name;
  

• Fixed encoding of a map now returns a Map<String, dynamic> where possible (instead of a Map<dynamic, dynamic>)

3.0.2

• Fixed generic decoding when using generic superclass.
• Fixed unknown-type bug for serialized non-constructor fields.

3.0.1

• Fixed bug with undetermined includeSubClasses.

3.0.0

• Breaking: Generated mappers no longer have a .container property. This was removed in favor of the new MapperContainer.globals container.

  // Instead of this:
  var value = MyClassMapper.container.fromValue(...);
  // Do this:
  var value = MapperContainer.globals.fromValue(...);
  

  Mapper initialization and usage is now simplified to the following:

  1. When used explicitly (e.g. through MyClassMapper.fromMap or myClass.toMap()) no additional initialization is needed.
  2. When used implicitly (through a generic type e.g. MapperContainer.globals.fromMap<MyClass>()) the mapper needs to be initialized once before being used with MyClassMapper.ensureInitialized().

• Breaking: Changed internal mapper implementation which causes any custom mapper to break.

  • Removed MapperElementBase class.
  • Added MappingContext being passed to mapper methods.

  See docs on how to use custom mappers in v3.

• Breaking: Removed @MappableLib.createCombinedContainer in favor of @MappableLib.generateInitializerForScope.

  Instead of generating a new container, v3 generates an initialization function for all mappers. Use it early on in your application:

  @MappableLib(generateInitializerForScope: InitializerScope.package)
  library main;
    
  import 'main.init.dart';
    
  void main() {
    initializeMappers();
    ...
  }
  

• Breaking: Improved support and features for .copyWith.

  • Copy-With now supports classes that implement multiple interfaces.
  • Renamed .copyWith.apply() method to .copyWith.$update().
  • Added .copyWith.$merge() and .copyWith.$delta().

  You can now use .copyWith with either an existing instance using .$merge or a map of values using .$delta.

  @MappableClass()
  class A with AMappable {
    A(this.a, this.b);
      
    int? a;
    int? b;
  }
    
  void main() {
    var a = A(1, null);
      
    var c = a.copyWith.$merge(A(null, 2));
    assert(c == A(1, 2));
    
    var d = a.copyWith.$delta({'b': 2});
    assert(d == A(1, 2));
  }
  

• Breaking: Removed CheckTypesHook in favor of discriminator functions.

  You can now use a custom predicate function as the discriminatorValue of a class. This function can check whether the encoded value should be decoded to this subclass and return a boolean.

  @MappableClass()
  abstract class A with AMappable {
    A();
  }
    
  @MappableClass(discriminatorValue: B.checkType)
  class B extends A with BMappable {
    B();
      
    /// checks if [value] should be decoded to [B]
    static bool checkType(value) {
      return value is Map && value['isB'] == true;
    }
  }
    
  @MappableClass(discriminatorValue: C.checkType)
  class C extends A with CMappable {
    C();
      
    /// checks if [value] should be decoded to [C]
    static bool checkType(value) {
      return value is Map && value['isWhat'] == 'C';
    }
  }
  

• Added support for serializing fields that are not part of the constructor when annotated with @MappableField().

• Added EncodingOptions to toValue method.

• Added support for third-party models by using annotated typedefs.

• Added renameMethods to build options.

• Improved performance of generated encoding and decoding methods.

2.0.2

• Fixed an analysis error when using core interfaces.

2.0.1

• Fixed generated container for private libraries.

2.0.0

• Mappers are now generated for each file containing annotated classes. This removes the need to specify entry points in the build.yaml.

  This is now similar to how packages like json_serializable or freezed generate code.

  • Generated files are now part files and need to be included as such.
  • All annotated classes must now use their respective <MyClass>Mappable mixin.
  • Instead of one global Mapper each class has its own <ClassName>Mapper.
    • A new global container that includes all models can now be generated using @MappableLib(createCombinedContainer: true).
  • Mappers can be linked together to enable working with multiple classes.
  • Removed @CustomMapper annotation in favor of includeCustomMappers property on @MappableClass().

  For a detailed migration guide, see this issue.

• Documentation is now separated from the README using the official pub.dev documentation topics. Find the new documentation here

• Improvements in performance and support for generics and inheritance.

• Added the [CheckTypesHook] to allow for custom discriminator checks on subclasses in a polymorphic class structure.

• CopyWith is now more powerful and also works for generic or polymorphic classes, while being completely type-safe.

  When called on a superclass, the concrete subtype will be retained through a .copyWith call, which also respects generics:

    // with `class A` and `class B<T> extends A`
    A a = B<int>(); // static type A, dynamic type B<int>
    
    // signature will be `A copyWith()`, so static type A
    A a2 = a.copyWith(); 
    
    // this will still resolve to a dynamic type of B<int>
    assert(a2 is B<int>);
