Overview
A fluent, builder-based library for generating valid Dart code. It provides a structured and readable way to construct Dart syntax trees programmatically, making it ideal for code generation tasks such as creating boilerplate, annotations, or custom classes. The library supports the full range of Dart language features and integrates seamlessly with build systems. Designed for developers working on code generators, it simplifies the process of writing correct and maintainable generated code.
Use cases
