Overview
IsarGenerator is a code generator for the Isar database that processes Dart classes annotated with @Collection, automatically generating the necessary boilerplate code for database operations. It enables efficient, type-safe interactions with Isar's lightweight, high-performance embedded database. The generator simplifies schema definition and reduces manual coding, improving development speed and reducing errors. It integrates seamlessly into Flutter and Dart projects across macOS, Windows, and Linux platforms.
