Overview
Envied Generator is a build-time code generator for the Envied package, enabling safe and type-safe environment variable management in Flutter applications. It generates Dart code from environment configuration files, reducing runtime errors by validating and typing environment variables at compile time. This enhances developer experience with auto-completion and refactoring support. The generator integrates seamlessly into Flutter projects via the pub.dev package ecosystem.
