Bloc Code Generator

A Dart package that generates code for the bloc library.

GenerateBloc Annotation

GenerateBloc is a dart annotation that requires a State as parameter, the state can be a primitive or an object. It handles the bloc's generation.

How it works

By adding the annotation to your Bloc class like this:

part 'my_bloc.g.dart';

@GenerateBloc(MyState)
class MyBloc extends _$Bloc {
 @override
  MyState get initialState => MyState();

  Stream<MyState> _mapDoSomethingToState(int someValue, SomeModel someModel) async* {
    yield MyState.doSomething(someValue, someModel);
  }
}

And running

flutter packages pub run build_runner build --delete-conflicting-outputs

The generator will create the my_bloc.g.dart file for you:

part of 'main_bloc.dart';

enum _$EventType { doSomething }

class _$Event {
  final _$EventType type;
  final List<dynamic> payload;

  _$Event({this.type, this.payload});
}

abstract class _$Bloc extends Bloc<_$Event, MyState> {
  Stream<MyState> mapEventToState(_$Event event) async* {
    switch (event.type) {
      case _$EventType.doSomething:
        yield* _mapDoSomethingToState(event.payload[0], event.payload[1]);
        break;
    }
  }

  void dispatchDoSomethingEvent(int someValue, SomeModel someModel) {
    dispatch(_$Event(
      type: _$EventType.increment,
      payload: [someValue, someModel],
    ));
  }

  Stream<MyState> _mapDoSomethingToState(int someValue, SomeModel someModel);
}

It gets all _map<NAME>ToState methods, creates the dispatchers and maps the right events to them.

By using the generator you don't need to handle the events, only the mapToState methods.
