Flutter code generator for generating easy-to-use shared_preferences.
Add easy_prefs and shared_preferences to dependencies, easy_prefs_gen and build_runner to dev_dependencies.
Note: Add provider as well if you're going to use [PrefsAnnotation] with [providerExtensionMethods] set to true.
dependencies:
easy_prefs: [version]
shared_preferences: ^2.0.11
dev_dependencies:
build_runner: [version]
easy_prefs_gen: [version]in your main.dart file
// IMPORT THESE TWO PACKAGES
import 'package:easy_prefs/easy_prefs.dart';
import 'package:shared_preferences/shared_preferences.dart';
Future<void> main() async {
// ADD THESE TWO LINES
WidgetsFlutterBinding.ensureInitialized();
await EasyPrefs.initialize(await SharedPreferences.getInstance());
// ..
runApp(const MyApp());
}Once you have added the annotations to your code you then need to run the code
generator to generate the missing .g.dart generated dart files.
dart run build_runner build
// or watch
dart run build_runner watchGiven a dart file example.dart with an Settings class annotated with [PrefsAnnotation]:
import 'package:easy_prefs/easy_prefs.dart';
import 'package:flutter/material.dart'; // or cupertiono, this is required if [changeProvider] is set to true
import 'package:provider/provider.dart'; // this is required if [providerExtensionMethods] is set to true
