Overview
Flutter Gen Runner is a code generator for Flutter that automatically creates type-safe Dart code from assets, fonts, colors, and other resources. It eliminates the need for string-based references, reducing runtime errors and improving development speed. By generating constants and enums, it ensures type safety and enhances code maintainability. The tool integrates seamlessly into Flutter projects and supports multiple platforms including Android, iOS, macOS, Windows, and Linux.
